Ground Rules
- DO NOT GET BOGGED DOWN IN DETAILS.
- This is to cover broad strokes, not explain minutæ to each other.
- We don’t need to get everything figured out tonight.
- This doesn’t need to take more than 90 minutes.
- Take notes on details for your area.
- I can’t run the meeting and take notes.
- Ryan can’t either.
- Hopefully soon, we’ll have a decent sound system in the lounge and can record/transcribe later.
- Send them to me and I’ll aggregate them into “minutes”.
- As we have more meetings, we’ll figure out how to better organize them.
- I’ll try to get an agenda up on the wiki early and get an outline.
- Suggestions to streamline the meeting welcome, just shoot me an e-mail.
- Stick to the topic at hand.
- Probably what you want to cover is farther down on the agenda.
- If I’m a little abrupt at steering us back on track, apologies in advance.
Agenda
- State of Each Ward
- This item will be likely to greatly change in the next few meetings.
- Things to cover
- What isn’t working?
- What is being fixed?
- What could use improvement?
- Remember, broad strokes
- A list of each thing in a category suffices
- This isn't the time to go into detail about how something's being fixed or what's wrong with it - just that it is broken or being fixed.
- CNC Machining
- Electronics
- Fab Lab
- Kitchen
- Lounge
- Metalworking
- Woodworking
- Update the Wiki
- Don't be afraid to just dump info into the Wiki.
- Greg and Ian keep an eye on the recently changed page list, and are more than happy to organize.
- Seriously, it makes us happy. We like when people use the wiki. Organizing and wikifying is easy and cathartic for us.
- Maintenance
- What needs to be done every month during clean-up?
- What needs to be done less frequently?
- What consumables do we stock?
- Certified users and trainers
- This is the canonical source for now.
- Active development on intweb for certification tracking is underway, and will hopefully be live soon. We want to only put correct data in it.
- We need to get trainers to track who's been certified.
- We need to have the ability make sure uncertified people aren’t using the equipment.
- Equipment location and status
- Wishlist Wrangling
- It’s a dumping ground of “anything that could possibly be used by the Hive.”
- Mark top candidates for purchase.
- Remove anything we have already purchased or is not likely to ever be purchased.
- If people still want something, they can always add it back.
- Don't be afraid to just dump info into the Wiki.
- Ideas for Improvement
- Incremental Improvement
- For some things, a good answer now is worse than the best answer later. This is not one of those things.
- Even if the way something is improved is only a temporary fix, it's still better than the mess.
- Areas could languish in utter chaos due to no 'good' answer - we don't want that to happen.
- Understand that someone could come by with a better answer and we end up re-doing the work. Try not to let this bother you.
- Concurrently, don't do anything permanent (e.g. Drilling holes in the Hive) unless we're confident something is the right answer.
- Use your head.
- Bug Tracker
- Keep track of improvements and broken things
- As Greg brings it online, be on the lookout for things to be assigned to you.
- Will eventually be accessible from the Internet, as well as have an e-mail address that submits a new ticket.
- Make the Hive presentable
- When someone new walks in, what's his first impression?
- Host More Events
- Movie Nights/Game Nights
- Consider hosting with and without potlucks and cleanup.
- Training Classes and Warden Hours
- These are well under way.
- Any hangups?
- Open House
- Is October 13th/20th doable?
- This will provide another opportunity to promote the space and show potentially interested parties what we offer.
- This is the perfect night to come by Hive13 and get a feel for our community without expectation.
- Pre-requisites for hosting Open House - this is worthy of discussion
- Incremental Improvement
