Minutes

• Announcements/new business:

• Operations:
  • "garage sale"
    • This really needs to happen, , within the next year. Clearing space would enable us to do a lot more activities without as much preparation, easier to clean the space routinely, etc. (i.e. see below)
  • open house (as pressure to clean up)
    • The group generally feels like there is low motivation to do this, so this will not be happening unless someone spearheads it.
  • Changed Saturday's Open Hours to Sunday
  • PC upgrades:
    • Framework is sitting in the ops locker waiting for someone to try to get it working, but
    • Nate will just buy something for now
