icebreaker what do you hack.

tressurer report, we are at 21 members, down one up 2 for net of 1. liability insurance goes into effect on the 6th of the month.

pleanning for sponsored project, Addie and Adric will have a meeting within 2 weeks.

Maker faire, 1st meeting was good, we have a project manager. rockets may get launched. logistics are in works. weekly meetings on thursday.

Calendar review of upcoming.

August, practice and project space for maker faire prep. july project bbq potluck. with a “chill abq” theme ice cream and cold stuff.

Communications Officer Position called to be filled by Addie, called by Ray, 6 available members all voted yay, Arron is not here. motion passes! this is not a board level position. but coudl be filled by a board member if needed

Greg's Deployment. What do we do when/if he gets sent away in August.

Discussions about what board does: Board handles funds, board does the schlock jobs, we have not made the member rolls well known. More involvement of the membership would be good fur future defining of this roll.

Try recognizing peoples skills, and trying to get them involved in the tasks that need happening.. and officially recognize it.

we need to make sure we dont burn members/board out.

More options..

• everyone is a board member. open up agenda to all members. *Tasks as a sort of helpdesk ticket type system.(with intensives!) opening up the calendar for all members. (and add more to the member guide). Student discounts(another topic in its self), (Bandit) encourage members to do things for the space, not for themselves. talk to members as to why they are here, why those who have left leave, and can we get members involved in bringing in more members. .

How to open up the forums and calendar more. move to facebook more??

1 week to decide, the form of the board. 7/8/12 board meeting.

Ray needs some help put together a quelab video, Brian and Wookie were brought up, Stephan might be able to see whats up.

Monthly themes.July cool the lab, bbq.

Stefan's proposal. To shoot street view like tours of places pages. (dress it up first). lots of action and activity. Proposed life time membership. (monthly theme to shoot an awesome place). awaiting our word. *issues are due to the fact we may well move.
