Darren self nominated as Rental Officer

Darren asked about Library as an area captain? Sherie also volunteered.

Anything for Darren to look at the Auctions -

Adric suggested a Dewar (nitrogen tank)

Charel - we could get more acknowledgement & possible funding if we focus more what we can do, e.g. STEM & STEAM esp classes for school kids

Adric suggested teaming with Coder Dojo?

Sherie suggested Grant writing skills could help

Discussion ensued

Darren reminded of his contact with the Librarian here in ABQ

How many members are interested in volunteering for classes or the like?

Charel to do some research prior to next Community Meeting

Sherie volunteered to assist anyone needing help writing a lesson plan

Sherie reported Aaron asks people using tools outside of PFUDOR to please return them to PFUDOR when done with them.

Adric has been working with the eye-fi card on the Quelab Camera. Turns out the card we have isn’t the one being deprecated, and should continue to work!

Adric replaced the broken lock & the Square phone

Will upgrade the front glass door

Maybe solicit tour sign-ups, or gather contact info, asking if they want to sign up for our general mailing list

The PayPal self service page now has a password of “orientation”

Rebecca reminded that you can also suggest people sign up for our general mailing list

Ray approved moving the teletype; suggestions included upstairs, the harry potter room, the storeroom or the former library

As we grow, how do we track people in the building?

In & Out boards

One on the annex door (the rental space)

Can we track people’s RFID tags passively to know when they have left?

Can we take photos of new members during orientation?

Can we RFID control the metal shop equipment? Some discussion with Eric. He would like to get an additional camera for the metal shop.

Darren said how he checks a space (e.g. the annex) and tells the last officer (typically Adric) a space is secured. He suggested some sort of sign/indicator to show a room has been verified as locked & secured to assist closing the building.

Gonner need time & labor to complete the block house in the front fenced in area

Need about $200 in supplies for block, etc.

He is interested crowd funding the money

Darrel asked about status on having a large calendar in the entry-way to advertise things, like the next orientation or the tour schedule

Discussion on possible forms of digital signage

Calendar?

Events

Notifications (like how the arduino class was canceled)

Darren suggested a list of contact info for all the officers and/or board

Maybe have a sign with contact info (the google voice number)

Darren can make some signs up with phone & our address

Seltzer was suggested as a possible source to check

Darrel suggested we should have more signs around the space - clean up after yourself., etc.

Charel reminded that any signs need to discern themselves from the rest of the papers on the wall

Celeste said: if something is bugging you, make a sign about it

Suggested that Celeste send out a monthly email welcoming new members by first names

Next meeting suggested: 2nd week of November, 16-November, @ 7:00 p.m.
