Area/Warden Reports

  • Concern/comments from the 4/26/23 Wardens’ meeting:
    • We still need an on-going forum for discussion (conversation) about possible and proposed improvements to the Hive.
      • As well as some technical/semi-technical issues.
      • It would also facilitate strategic planning.
      • It used to happen at the weekly Tuesday meeting.
      • It has been requested that we re-establish it.
      • Alternatives?
      • Discussion
  • Outreach
    • Still waiting to hear back from the comic expo
    • Planning to do the CMC event again next month since pride has kept us busy
      • So far the turnout for membership has been great, great energy all around
      • Working on more digital content for the website/socials
        • Posting to keep our twitter from getting deleted lol
    • Please message Kostas/Outreach on Slack (no leadership action required)
  • 3D printing
    • The UM2 is dead.With the amount of time and energy we've put in to try to figure out what's wrong with it, we've only seen it get worse. 2.85mm filament isn't even kept out on the floor at Micro Center, this was probably a change coming shortly.
      • Discussion is ongoing in 3d-printing about where we go from here.
    • RPR is slow but steady. Josty S. has donated the CNC files for the enclosure, just have to grab materials and make. Thank you, Josty!
