• THE PURGE IS COMING!!! The time has come to do some reckoning with all of the various and sundry crap we have in the Dungeon. Consider this your official warning - if an item that you own or want is in the dungeon without a current valid parking pass, it will be considered trash, and will be treated as such. We don't have a firm date yet for the purge, so we will keep you posted.

Committee Updates

Dungeon Masters

Had a great initial meeting! Still in infancy, but we're dreamin' and dreamin' is free...

How do we want to define a “strategic plan”? Vision for the HIVE at large

• Classes (singles and series), education, activities, workshops
  • We should pay our instructors
  • How? Grant money, admission cost
• Website development/updating (Tendency)
• Power Tool drag racing
• Building relationships with other orgs
  • Urban Manufacturing Alliance / Cincinnati Maker’s Council (Dave V has a follow up on 11/30)
  • “Learn to solder” at schools, etc
• Employee for infrastructure support
• How do we make more members comfortable / empowered to make

Vision for expansion into the dungeon

Let’s split into large-scale goals with a range of priorities.

• rent
• landlord to finish promised improvements (paint, clean up, bathroom, panel)

• Dungeon “habitable” first
  • Purge the crap
  • Shelves to move
• Short term: nicer member storage
• Medium / long term:
  • Photography
  • Lounge
  • Kids space
  • Tool library
  • Recording studio / video / streaming
  • infrastructure/server room
  • Classroom space
  • Additional meeting space

Outreach

• What a year! Check out the deets from our last meeting here and keep up with us as we get ready for 2023 on Slack (#outreach)
• No meeting for December! Hopefully Kostas P. will learn how to send an email sans anxiety by then.
• "Hive is Real" shirt order form coming first week of January 👀

Votes

• Brad has proposed a vote for a new 5 hp motor for the main air compressor. We are currently limping along with a smaller one, so we are not "dead in the water," but I think we're in agreement that this is a necessity! Vote closes on 12/5. Please vote on the thread in Discourse.
