Consent Agenda


Old Business


Pinned Items

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


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.)

  • Identify and maintain (online) lists of SMEs (subject matter experts) for each equipment or space. (No Update)
  • Member info onesheet: it contains a lot of good information, is about 75% finished, but isn't organized well yet. Want to help? Please do! (No Update)
  • Members are beginning to plan meetups and congregate--Ryan is planning to create and install 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.



New Business

  • A reminder to members to be mindful to clean up the space after using it.

  • Note: projection is based on current member dues and recurring donations.

Donations: Thank you to Blake, Graham, and Kunal, for your donations. You help keep our lasers firing, saws cutting, and whatever the DIY Bio folks are brewing in the basement viable!


Special thanks (again!) to our anonymous benefactor for (previously) donating $3000 through Fidelity Charitable. That donation brought us 10 months closer to funding our reserve, and that much closer to affording expenditures to help improve SplatSpace for our membership. This was tremendously important and impactful support--thank you.


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).
