Minutes

Old Business

• Jon--Awhile back we voted to buy a belt and spindle sander, we just bought Joseph's (new member!)
• Jon also bought 2 routers, 50 router bits, some clamps, spray paint, other supplies

New Business

• Ian--Looking at upgrading Hive lighting
  • We can no longer replace our long fluorescent lights, bulbs not made.
  • Ian has found replacement LED lights at home depot. $150 apiece. Ian will buy one and test it out.
  • Jon--we should talk to garden street before replacing lights--some discussion, is this necessary?

• Ian--we are looking to get more pallet racks (storage shelves) for the space
  • These would go by back door--would need to move/trash the blackboard
  • Goal: improve organization, increase storage space for member projects
  • Ian found a quote in Indianapolis. Estimated with transport: $700
  • Hutch--will this be better than getting shelves from weld-plus? Short discussion followed
    • There will be an online vote with some more details.

• Paul--will not be able to make it to Tuesday meetings
  • Someone else will need to pick up pizza! or institute cooking day before meetings?
  • Ryan volunteered if needed
  • Paul has been transporting the pizza for 5 years, and deserves a trophy.

• Ryan--3rd saturday cleanup is coming up, 1PM!
• Ryan--needs to order a little additional steel for the router project, contact him if you want to combine orders
• Emily--renting out out 2 nice rooms in her attic. They are on Craigslist and facebook.

• Jason--hive T-shirt order status?
  • Ian--needs to find time to do price checking and credit card authorizations.
  • Goal: trying to save money by writing code for price analysis
  • Talk to Ian if you want to write the code. Friday Hack-a-thon?

• Mike--Our facebook group is currently closed (you have to apply), would prefer it was open
  • Mike--People browsing facebook should be able to learn something about Hive13 immediately.
  • Dave M--another option is to create a Hive facebook page, rather than a "group."
  • Some discussion followed. Facebook page sounds good, but it's pointless unless we update it.
  • Dave M and Brandon seem to be taking the lead on a Hive facebook page.

• Mike gave 2nd Tuesday talk on DIY-Bio.
