Old Business

Pinned Items

Permanent items of the Old Business section carried from month to month.

  • Mid-month meeting set up for 3rd Tuesdays, with Mark and others facilitating. Noted that invitations likely need to be emailed each month and a link on the webpage.
  • Justin is working on a SplatSpace floor plan he created for members to use for planning purposes and reference.
  • We should welcome students, but not chase them because the student rate isn't as financially supportive. Mark suggests posting fliers on Foster street where there are condos and apartments with no workspace. Mark suggests that people need to pursue hanging up fliers repeatedly, but notes that turnover of places where posting is allowed becomes a problem. He also discussed the Motorco/Fullsteam area neighborhoods. Coco Cinnamon is another option.


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. After some research, Justin got it in focus, but had a hard time getting it to cut. He's found a forum.
  • Doorduino system - remains delayed, requires "jiggle."
  • Identify and maintain (online) lists of SME's for each equipment or space.
  • Lewis hit a formatting wall on the onesheet. It contains a lot of good information, but isn't organized well yet.
  • The electronics donation from Fred Ebling that was at Pete Soper's place has mostly been positioned in the electronics area, some is in the space in the main room. Progress is being made to incorporate it into the electronics parts area. Scott has made a large shelf to hold the parts, and a small shelf to go under the gray door cabinet. Ryan has made sure it is tip-proof.
    • Plaque/memorial for Fred Ebling and his contribution to the space
  • Mark notes that we are 1-2 months away from majority vaccinated population. Blake says that he is watching the CDC and governor's guidelines for advice for future in-person meetings. Board decided not to make vaccines required.


New Business

  • Scott has made process wiring up zoned amplifiers to wire up multiple speakers in each room for music and paging system. This is on pause as Scott focuses on shelving and cleanup efforts.
  • 3rd pizza party on April 23th was a success - more progress cleaning out the main room, getting things to the electronics area, and further organizing the woodshop and 3D-printer area (now in the Boneyard).
  • Centralized online file storage for SplatSpace documents and files was discussed. Scott working on the SplatDrive at the space, Ryan working on the Internet-accessible storage and archive</span>
  • Website: progress has been made. Blake is still working on a lot of the layout, but it's getting there. He solicited help for anyone interested in front-end work.
  • Lewis floated the idea of making the audio recordings of meetings public. He liked the idea of tagging important moments of conversation, but agreed with Mark that meetings may be better to be ephemeral. It was discussed that for various reasons having recordings online may have negative consequences, and the meeting minutes tend to capture whatall people have to say.
  • Scott announced that he's starting to hold the TriBRAE Beginning Microcontrollers & Electronics in-person in the space again beginning in May. Note that it is now scheduled for May 15, but may be moved to May 22 due to many other efforts going on.
  • Talk of 0rganizing a possible Mini-Mini-Makerfaire
    • Talk to area community groups
    • Contact Durham local makerspaces
    • Let's get a Food Truck or two
