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

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

- ~~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.

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

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.
