Old Business
ToDo Action Items
(Items carried forward from previous meetings, but not up for discussion this month. Recorded here so we don't forget about them.)
- Pete Soper reports that the FSL Hobby Laser may not be fully functional, may be out of focus in one corner.
- Justin will look at replacing the air assist hose and cleaning/realigning the mirrors if needed.
- Door and Gate system - remains delayed, requires "jiggle."
- Training & Accountability (need volunteers)
- Create a document with a list of tools, include people & doc links as we start making equipment training guides.
- Identify and maintain (online) lists of SME's for each equipment or space.
Post-COVID TODOs
- Laser cutter soundproofing or sound abatement. Heavy curtains, or walls made from soundproofing materials, or relocation of laser cutters. Major problem for members in the classroom, possible source of concerningly loud noise exposure.
New Business
- Annual election has been completed, check out the new SplatSpace board members.
- Identify volunteers to plan moving electronics donations from Fred Ebeling and Pete Soper from Pete's garage to SplatSpace.
- Mark C. brought up concerns about Splat's financial status and runway, related to resources stored on-site.
- Seeking volunteers to help build and install the shelves Scott has been planning. Email Scott Hall or in the Slack #meatspace or #public channels.
- Use Slack #fundraising or #engagement channels to discuss and own ideas for projects, services, classes, workshops, sponsorships, recruitment, etc. for gaining funding, memberships, and exposure.
- Request volunteers to join SplatSpace "Survival Committee".
- Pete Soper's request: implement reservation system for allowing people to reserve equipment and/or space, using Google Calendar or similar approach, to solve problem of people driving from Apex and finding their desired space/equipment/resource in use.
- Discuss how to gain member approval and improve awareness of this system.
- Alternative to our informal process of using #meatspace Slack channel.
- Identify volunteer willing to procure or create a SplatSpace floor plan for members to use for planning purposes and reference. Email to/work with Justin Kirk.
- A few PCs at SplatSpace need to be replaced (Computer next to "Big Bertha" Fusion 306)
- Blake is currently working on replacing these with the machines donated by his employer, Dell machines with either i5 or i7 CPUs and at least 8GB of memory.
- Justin has an old Intel i3 system which could be rebuilt and used in the space, possibly in the member signin/guest book/reservation system/information kiosk.
- Blake, Andrew, Ryan, and others are still working on the new SplatSpace website.
- Action item: gain access to the Linode instance.
- Pending above action item, will need to update WordPress, then add Stripe customer/membership management portal and other items/updates.
- Ryan to complete document for updating the Dorbo.
- 25 more fobs have been ordered and placed in the lockbox.
- Blake's digital sign project/entryway kiosk. Attached Raspberry Pi shows a few screens/displays the Splatspace logo.
- Lewis volunteered to make a 1-page PDF to provide to new members.
- This will include Member expectations (closing the space, safety procedures, cleanliness, SplatSpace is a volunteer organization with no paid cleaning staff.)
- Gate code and emergency contacts.
- This spawned a similar idea to make a printable, 1-page PDF brochure to provide to interested members of the public about SplatSpace. Lewis will also start this.
- Lewis solicited language/wording from the community and will use shared Google Slides documents to create these PDFs.
- Annual Election: No quorum could be reached. Election was extended to Nov 17 to get more votes.
