Sarah, is your AHA email working?
Yes. Nate got the message, possibly not a "reply all"
Is everyone clear on new responsibilities?
* Nate Yost - Fundraising
* Alex White - Finances
* Sarah Lynn - Advertising/Outreach
* Henry Marshall - Education/Internal Events
* Brian Morse - Operations
What should be the procedure when people can't make it to a board meeting?
Hangouts or Skype is preferred. Filling out a stub ahead of time in the meeting notes is important if you can't be there at all.
Henry Marshall added the new board to the Board page, but didn't know the date of the next election. Has it been determined? If so, what is it?
Last Thursday of October. Henry will update the wiki to reflect this.


The last board had a resignation part way through the term which led to certain responsibilities being unaddressed. Is there a mechanism to prevent this problem in the future?
Henry has cabinet keys that Larry cut. Who still needs them?
Nate explains that the board can vote someone in or call for special elections. If no one steps up, we don't have any contingencies. Being in contact with active members can make it easier to delegate, and is more effective than an email blast.
 
Have keys for the new board members been cut and/or transferred?
Greg still has has. Tyler will make new sets at Stadium Hardware tomorrow.


Nate volunteered to add a contact directory to the website.

Nate was pleased by the turnout for elections. We all agree we should hold more social events.

We are a sponsor at NHacks. Henry has previously received board permission (via email) to bring Arduinos to the event and award summer memberships to the winners.


Rhino badges arrived. Do we have all the necessary components?
Do we want to bring a 3d printer to A2 Health Hacks? Alternatively we can let people know it is here. Who will man it or are we lifting the normal class-required rules?
Larry is going to order the remaining components from DigiKey. He will also be creating a non-profit account with them.

Nate has not submitted the form to the Library. Jacob is interested in running an eggbot class. Nate encouraged Jacob to submit a form for that. Dale Grover, a funder of the mini-maker faire, is encouraging us to have a table at the event on June 3rd. He will bring all the soldering equipment, so we need to have the staff and badges. Nate will be emailing him to verify we will be doing it this year. We need more volunteers in order to operate it safely, at least 1 per 2 soldering stations (minimum 5). Nate had a difficult time managing the crowd last year. In the past we received funding from A2 geeks, but we may not this year. We'll put out a donation box to pay for the badges. Sarah volunteered to make a cool donation box in the spirit of i3's (perhaps something that lights up when you put in money). Sarah sent a design to the board.
What went well:
 
- Great volunteer turnout
===Maker Faire===
What could be improved:
We won't be running a booth unless someone has a project they want to spearhead. In the past, this hasn't had high returns in terms of membership.
- Have ice on hand throughout the day


Larry will get in touch with his CPA friend Ken Shana about [paying teachers] post-tax-season.

> Stadium is interested in possibly hosting classes on how to fix your house stuff.
More scheduled in events to come.  
Contractors are often so busy they cannot run a class. How to fix a toilet and add an outlet. Larry will teach a basic hand tools class. This may not happen until it gets cooler in winter or fall.


Henry will contact Brian about running a basic electrics and safety workshop.
Henry proposes we lower the cost for classes where you do not receive a machine qualification.

==Finances/Membership - Alex White==
Money earned from Penguicon badge sales
Have we received money for badges from the Mini Maker Faire?
$1159 (by best recollection) plus paypal sales. Nate needs to give the cash (or a check) to Alex. This money will go towards making more badges and selling that at other conventions. We have been told by a lot of people that the badges would be popular at a bunch of other cons. Getting the pick and place and SMD LEDs will make production much easier. The next iteration of the board will have an 8x8 grid. This may be difficult to power. The BOM for the old badges was $15 and they were sold for $40 a piece -- the new ones should be cheaper.
 
> Larry will check [status of tax free account at Stadium Hardware]
The non-profit account is operational. It should display as "makerspace" not "marketplace" when used.
 
> Paypal is actually a little cheaper than Rerun...
How much cheaper? Are we moving to Paypal? What is the status of this?
We pay 2.2% + $0.30 for Paypal and 2.9% + $0.30 with Visa or $1.50 with ACH
Henry and BYB are the only Rerun users, and we'll be leaving them as they are.

Dan of the Rotary may be a potential grant giver.
The Jaycees reached out to us in the past, and we may be able to partner in the future.
Larry wanted to know if we had a formal wishlist. Henry volunteered to create a page on the wiki.
Are there any upcoming events we want to sell stuff at?
Nate will ask Dale about having a donation bin at Mini Maker Faire. Our next project is to start prototyping the next generation of badges.
Larry suggested we establish a target. Nate thought that $10k be the end of the term would be a good target.


==Marketing/Outreach - Sarah Lynn==
==Marketing/Outreach - Sarah Lynn==


Wants to do t-shirts. Sarah will contact Dana re: screen printing. She wants to put together a box and a "street team". Volunteers could sign up members and receive awards for referrals -- t-shirts, free memberships, laser time etc. She will be looking into buying t-shirts in a variety of sizes. She will add those to the aforementioned wishlist.
Followup re: street team:
- Should we consider contacting the JayCees?


Sarah wants to find someone to do work in grafitti alley. Larry knows someone who might be interested in working on it.
Followup re: silk screening with Dana


Sarah has interest in doing sidewalk chalk leading up to our doors.
Larry, does your contact have interest in decorating graffiti alley?


Sarah will take over the facebook group *and* the page from Nate. She would like to raise money to pay for ads on facebook.
Has Sarah taken over the Facebook page? Do we have a twitter?


=== Google Adwords ===
=== Google Adwords ===
* Alex sent out the credentials for Google adwords.
 
* Nate will give Samson's contact information to Nate.
Have any been added?
* Is there a place where we can log ideas for adwords? Perhaps a wiki page?
There is a spreadsheet shared with the board. Nate will be sharing the files on the google drive for all board members.


=== Marketing Email Updates ===
=== Marketing Email Updates ===
Contents of May email blast? Date it can be published?
Florencia has moved on from BYB and won't be making more email blasts. Will Sarah take this responsibility over?
Nate worked with Florencia E., BYB's (possibly former) marketing person. She used to put together an email blast through mail chimp, but hasn't recently. Nate will ask Greg about her current status. Sarah may assist or take it over. Henry shall send out a blast to the meetup group for people who want to join the mailing list after this has been done.


>Greg suggested Maker profiles (Example Mike Grube) for our teachers in the news letter.
> Larry followup re: YpsiAlloy
Postpone until the above is clarified.


> YpsiAlloy is another group Larry met some members from, want to start a foundry in Ypsi.  He will be in contact?
> Larry followup re: Mark Maynard for Art coworking in Ypsi. Have you visited?
Larry will contact them in the next month.
 
> Mark Maynard is contact [for Art coworking in Ypsi]. Larry is the person [contacting them].
Larry will be visiting their space next time he's in Ypsi. We may collaborate at some point in the future.


==Operations/Volunteers - Brian Morse ==

We discussed using the area by the lockers for BYB interns.
Henry extended offer of space by lockers to one of the BYB interns.


We need to establish who has what locker. Brian will send out an email, and put up signs to identify their lockers. We will use a spreadsheet and labels to keep track of what is used.
Thoughts on the state of the space?


When can there be a training for Volunteers/Board to make ID cards? Who can teach it?
Henry was informed of a missing (bug?) net stored between the recycling bin and the pillar. Has anyone seen it?
- Today before board meeting. Tyler took ~10 minutes to teach. Ideally it's just for board members since the operations person needs to be the verify they have met all requirements before granting 24/7 access.


> Tyler is working on [a document on how to close the shop] and hopes to have it posted during the week of 4/17.
Good job on the lockers!
This is done. Tested initial draft and found issues. Reprinted and will be posted evening of 5/10/17. Tyler communicated to Pritpaul that he had a draft and after testing and posting would communicate to him that it is done.


Tyler suggested we have a single POC for the building Manager? Who will it be? Do they have the necessary information?
We agreed via email to switch to ACD as our ISP. Our 1 year contract/trial rate at AT&T has expired, we can now switch ISPs without penality. What is the state of the ISP change?
Tyler will contact the manager and make the necessary transition so Brian receives all future communication.


Sarah asked about the status of adding a water filler to the space. Brian will research what needs to be done.
Who owns the local camera system project?
 
Jacob knows Michael from an organization interested in volunteering with AHA. Henry Marshall has the contact info, but has not reached out.
Henry will forward this information to Brian.
 
Changing Internet Provider
We have a quote in the operations email account from 3 to 4 months ago. It is approximately $150 a month for setup. We need to cancel our AT&T, but our contract runs until August 1st. The faster internet will be important given the influx of interns and co-workers at the same time. The revenue from the new interns should cover the period when we would have two ISPs. If need be, Nate will contribute to keep it cover cost differences. Brian will contact the ISP.
 
Who is the admin for this wiki? Could we add markdown support with [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MarkdownExtraParser this extension]?
- Nate. The server needs to be upgraded before anything else can be done. This must be done at the same time as the website upgrade, so it must wait on the following.
 
The new website
The design needs to finalized, so Tyler can finish the site. We need to establish what the new logo looks like (Sarah is thinking about changing colors). Henry and Tyler will work together on moving his scripts to metalsmith. Henry will take initiative on scheduling this.
 
Who is the administrator for the website?
- Nate
 
Changing nest cameras to a local solution
Will be attempting this in June.


===Volunteer Hours===
===Volunteer Hours===
Track volunteer hours at AHA
- Maya & Will


Troy and Chris are volunteering primarily on Saturday, can Alex sign off on their work?
- What are the new volunteer hours? Some of our volunteers switched their availability.
Brian will contact Alex Hull about notifying us of any volunteer work done. We can then issue an official document


They wanted to have a consistent POC, any volunteers?
- In the event we have more volunteers, are we interested in increasing hours? At what point do we have "enough" public hours?
Brian will email Troy and Chris and say he is their new primary POC.


===Equipment===
===Equipment===
Henry Marshall bought a replacement laser printer at Property Disposition and will place it on indefinite loan to the space. We need to buy ink, it should be ~$100, but we cannot confirm with certainty the printer will work.
Backyard Brains donated ink for the new printer. What is its state?
Henry will send the model number to Nate to buy toner.


> Going to investigate and figure out where we'd normally store [a rolling tool wall]. Larry got a rolling display setup that has pegboard on it, could be used for this?
What is the state of Tyler's refinishing of the cabinets for the craft room?
Larry wants to use the pegboard for moving signage.
 
> Tyler purchased cabinets for sewing/craft room... Eta is end of April.
No help needed bringing them in. I'm resurfacing and painting them. If we really want them now, I can deliver them immediately but then will not complete the refinishing. You'd need to hang them as is. Not positive on ETA, weather has been too rainy/cold for drying to work well. Once it's a bit warmer again I can give a better ETA.


> Fire Safety - Breaker box behind laser cutter is continually blocked. We need to maintain access to this.

> Pick and place is ready to be wired up if people are interested.
- Working on the Pick & Place is more difficult when all the BYB interns are here. Henry's interest in a build party is increased. Can we pick a day?
Brian and Henry have been working on it Thursday. Nate will pick a time in June to hold a build party.


Radioshack bins
- The 3d printing computer is often in use for non 3d printing tasks during public hours. I've seen people turn away disappointed. Solutions?
Greg will be restocking the space in part to provide for the interns.
 
- State of radioshack bin inventory? Greg is eager to populate them.


Larry would like to have the new logo printed as stickers.

> NAS - Investigated problem with LDAP users not able to change passwords. Contacted Synology support and am working to resolve it with them. No fix yet in last 2 patches.
> Tyler will schedule a meeting with Nate to [upgrade the LDAP] sometime next week.
They believe it is fixed. We are to backup, reinstall and restore. If this fails to restore we could lock everyone out. Because there is a limited number of users they could be manually entered. Tyler will schedule a meeting with Nate to do it sometime next week.
