  • Establish a process (ie. sending a two-sentence announcement with a link to the agenda to the Google Group, Slack #announcements) for announcing to SplatSpace membership important meetings, votes, and events, in the case where there has been a board member meeting and agenda prepared at least 3 days in advance.

* Plan needed to allow members to recoup costs on consumables they provide to the space. (who?)

* Website plans (who ?)

* New Member orientation (Dawn)

* Training & Accountability (Dawn - initial draft) [create doc with list of tools, include people & doc links as we start making equipment training guides]

* New Storage Shelves (Scott + volunteers)

* Audio/Visual install & configuration (Scott + volunteers)

* Splat server upgrade (Scott)

* Laser cutter soundproofing
