    • It was very successful!
    • When should we do it again? Twice a year thing? Quarterly?
    • It will help deepen relationship with the Maker City and Mayors Maker Council
    • Vendor feedback was great - most positive - we provided better support than any other event!
    • Feedback on our end
      • A lot of cleaning work, but necessary, and for a good reason
      • Good camaraderie and pride in KM
      • Got a lot of new people involved in volunteering
      • Should be more clear that we have vendors who make their things with their own hands
      • Putting on another one will be a little easier
    • Earliest we could pull off would be November
    • We hemmed and hawed a lot and decided to try for Nov 6, with Mary Thom's blessing
  • Can Joe post on Facebook about his Arduino 101? More info needed.
  • Should we hide the sign up form from the front page of the website?
    • Seems that more discussion is needed
  • Mayor's Maker Council
    • Sean is ready to step down in October
    • The Maker Summit is in September so that is all hands on deck at the Council
  • Maker Meetup - can/should we host that?
    • We are overwhelmingly lukewarm about it
  • Maker Faire - should we do it? Yes we think so.
  • Crazy idea about KILLSWITCH
    • Could we hand this off and let them run with it? Maybe Tim?
  • Is someone getting our mail? Looks like no. How can we make this easier.
    • PO Box seems like the right solution
  • Spark has said they would fix the lighting in the back so yay
  • Our Aircon ducting is on the schedule!
  • KCDC has not heard back on the HUD grant yet - will be next month
