== Special Agenda Items ==
* Renting situation
** 2nd floor, back of the building
** We'd like to stay here.
** Matt will keep trying to get a hold of Sherwin. (ACTION)
** Mark is willing to look for space casually, we're not going to do a hard
core space hunt. (ACTION)

* Metal Lathe (do we want it?)
** Do we have room for it? It's big, but not huge. Very heavy.
** What would we do with it? Don't know, Jon will figure it out.
** Jon is in touch with the donor, it's at donor's parents' house. Emil wants
to meet some folks first. (ACTION)

* RobotFest plan of action
** When do we need to be there?
** Bring out projects: electronics kit? NOPE, just the rocket stuff. Need to print a
stencil, cut a tube for a template (size of launcher), a model clinometer should be
manufactured. Tape measure
** Mark is going to contact Estes to see if they'd donate a prize for the
winning rocket. (ACTION)
** We need a wiki page with a schedule for sitting at the table. Hour by hour,
making sure the table is occupied. Matt will make the wiki page. (ACTION)
** Jon is going to bring a whiteboard or something to do a leaderboard. (ACTION)

* T-Shirts
** Mark's friend can make them and sell them to us, 0 - 100 is $6 apiece.
** 25 to start would be $7.35, the next 50 would be $5.50 apiece (two color).
** Do we want cheap T-shirts, or awesome T-shirts?
** Mark is going to survey the community to see if anyone is interested. (ACTION)

* Merchandising in general?
** Matt would rather sell Obama circuit boards than t-shirts.

* Organizational purchase. Parts store? Get organized.
** We need stuff and we need somewhere to put stuff.
** Bucket of Legos. Be awesome, use it and put it back. If you're going to
incorporate it into a project, put in some dollars.
** No matter what we do, before we order, we'll have to have a plan for
getting that thing organized.
** Mark suggests we vote to dedicate $60 to $80 (up to $1000) to setting up the
parts store. Jon suggested we can vote to spend online, but first we need a
plan. Mark can start the planning for the parts store, we can start an email
thread and a wiki page.  Alan suggested Harbor Freight. (ACTION)
