Minutes

  • Lots of progress on the Wood Shop floor today!
  • Nancy M has a foam cutter she will donate. 
  • The new “red” laser cutter is operational. We’re going to do a “slow rollout” where only staffers will use it at first. They’ll review Don’s instructions and give input before we open it wider to all members. 
  1. Bava: Running a Tucson area BSD-Linux User Group out of Xerocraft
  2. Don C: We don’t have any open time for the public for the time being, due largely to tool damage. The Board has discussed the idea of special interest groups. Groups must be promoted by at least two members. 
  3. We’ll connect Bava with David N.
  4. We’re mostly Windows-based.  
  5. Bava: We could potentially self-host a server, email, etc. 
  6. Don C: Some people are leaving the back door unlocked
  7. The back door was unlocked and not locked again. 
  8. Jeremy has removed the key from the “dumpster” lanyard
  9. Patrick C: Members will lock the back door while people are still in the back yard.
  10. Jeremy and Don will work on a solution. 
  11. Adrian B: 4x4 CNC router update
  12. New spindle motor has arrived. They felt it was cheaper to replace the failed motor than to repair it. They hope to have it up and running this week.
