2010-03-16 Meeting Notes

Special Agenda Items

Alan's Box
- Apparently someone appropriated Alan's project box for the recycling bin and he has requested we stop using it for that. We now need a recycling bin. Also, that wasn't awesome. (Alan volunteered it for a party, but forgot to reclaim it afterwards. Thus, he was un-awesome.)
Maker's Faire Update
- Try to organize a soldering workshop
- We should market it
- Maker's Faire Tool Race (probably not possible)
Google Fiber update
- Robert Wray and us need to follow through on the GRL project
- It's going well and there's hope of us making a good case to google

- Step One: Make space, donate and organize (IE get containers) what we have
- Step Two: Figure out what we need (propose list) (I can help with this Abachman 03:20, 17 March 2010 (UTC))
- Step Three: Hack
