Consent Agenda


Old Business


Pinned Items

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

  • There was a smaller but productive cleanup party this last month. Scott, a new member, Pete Soper, and Blake attended. Scott organized tools and junk around the laser cutter. The new member cleaned up the chaos under the Glowforge, organizing the material by size and shape. Scott moved the 3d resin printers, allowing for more cleanup. Things are continuing to look better.
  • Justin is working on a SplatSpace floor plan he created for members to use for planning purposes and reference.
  • Blake recognized that should reconsider our advertising strategy, but that was not a discussion for this meeting.


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.)

  • Justin is continuing to work on maintaining the laser. Laser seems to be working fine, needs some focusing and other work though. (No Update)
  • Doorduino system - remains delayed, requires "jiggle." (No Update)
  • Identify and maintain (online) lists of SME's for each equipment or space. (No Update)
  • Lewis hit a formatting wall on the onesheet. It contains a lot of good information, but isn't organized well yet. (No Update)
  • The electronics donation from Fred Ebling has all been shelved (though some boxes and items could be further organized, labeled, sorted, pruned). Ryan did a lot of work on this. Scott says he needs to sort some microcontrollers.
    • Plaque/memorial for Fred Ebling and his contribution to the space. Ryan has this queued up, Pete S. has volunteered to provide background information about Fred.
  • Scott has made progress wiring up zoned amplifiers to wire up multiple speakers in each room for music and paging system. He described some of his A/V equipment, including mics and greenscreen.

  • The Splatserver is flaky right now. The Raspberry Pi is having problems - probably started when the HVAC was being worked on. He has several gigs of woodworking magazines on thumbdrives that he wants to contribute to the server. </span>



New Business

  • Members are beginning to plan meetups and congregate--Ryan is considering putting room capacity placards in the work rooms for informational and safety purposes (supporting continuing COVID and social distancing safety, but also general shop safety). SplatSpace lease provides the total space capacity.

Donations: Thank you to Andrew S, Blake, Graham, and Adam H, for your donations. Every little bit helps--especially the big bits!


Pending: SplatSpace's Charitable Solicitation License Exemption filing was due May 15, 2021, with the NC Secretary of State. I haven't yet filed our renewal for 2021, though I plan to soon. Our past filings can be found by searching for "Durham Makerspace" at https://www.sosnc.gov/csl/search. We have filed late previously without incident (so far).
