Board To Do

This page is a to-do list for Board Members:

• We need to take a bigger stake in the space organization. This is becoming a bigger issue by the day. I'm willing to help push some of this stuff through, if we can develop some consensus. I'll work with Mike and get this shit executed. - Laz

• Finish 3D printer computer station, get software installed, etc.

• Address hole in membership rules for visitors who are minors. Suggest letting them attend classes, but preventing using anything more dangerous than a computer keyboard without parental permission.

• Come up with member and non-member pricing for machine time and consumables. - Let's rethink this. We don't want to end up being a job shop for other people. - On further thought, this would basically mean we are doing business with the public, and that's bad for us from a tax perspective. Let's just reserve this for members only. - Laz

• Add procedure to membership rules for letting space out to third parties.

• • get set up on google maps we should be getting a postcard from google in the mail soon - Update: Seems I may need to resend this.

• • We need to come up with a thank you gift for the food donation. We probably need to come up with thank you gifts in general.

• Group Order for t-shirts?
  • Who should run that?
  • Create a committee to select a shirt design (maybe encourage a vote for options)
  • Let's get our new creative director plugged into this option. I know that Adan and Repurposer were working on a neat shirt idea that they brainstormed during a KMBI session.

• We need to plan ahead for the other events we want to attend as a group:
  • Example: we're registered to present at the Nashville Mini Maker Faire from way back and it's a weekend event with setup on Friday, September 20th. Are we going or should we cancel?

• What is remaining to get done for our non-profit status?

Membership

• Review current membership
  • check for active/inactive status
  • check for outstanding keys
  • check for appropriate logins/access for all new members
• Update membership mailing lists, etc
• Review Key Situation
• DISCUSS HOW TO DEAL WITH DELINQUENT MEMBERS

Communications Director

• We need to come up with some good copy to distribute to people when we want to start talking about funds. About us, what we do, etc.
• Set up digital accounts
  • YouTube
  • Flickr
• Setup formal "Newsletter"
  • Add folks that have asked to be kept informed but don't want to wade through the Google Group postings
    • Linda Nyholm (lnyholm@tech2020.org)

• Also consider our newsletter to be a mailer to get in touch with the less computer-inclined folks. Direct marketing old school.
• Webpage Updates
  • We probably need to get some sort of event registration thing integrated into drupal. Best case scenario, it even makes calendar events for us, but that's probably wishful thinking
  • We need to work on the editor to make putting pretty content easier for others.
  • Get an official page for our bylaws and the like on the page.
  • Look into setting up something where we put plans and schematics to spread the knowledge.

• IP addresses for Cray
• LDAP introduction / brainstorm w/ Pete
