Ted- this is a critical component for i3west. This has stalled because no one has stepped up to take charge of that.

Margaret- if anyone wants to see a demo come see after the meeting.


Guest Daniel Alex and the "Find What's Inside" project

Daniel - I started a website called findwhatsinside.com it’s in beta right now. Contact@i3detroit.com PW: i3D#&R0IT I take things apart a lot, to see what's inside. I've created a user generated database to gather what information is inside of various things.

Invites us to come enter information

Rocco- is this a pay website?

Daniel - It's free!


Serial-signals class wrap up / next one

Nate B- it went well! there were 4 people that registered. serial ports inside of all different kinds of things. 2 people showed up and there was no space to hold the class! Perhaps this there something else that I should be doing to reserve space for classes?

Ted- The electronics room might need some special attention


Eric M - I didn't know that it was going to be in the e lab and i din't know it was going to take up the majority of the space in the e-lab. I think there should be a sign posted somewhere physically, and outlining that the e-lab will be closed on X day.


Announce list?

WHITE BOARD WILL BE USED IF THE E-LAB OR ANY OTHER SPACE NEEDS TO BE USED FOR A SPECIFIC CLASS

Red Bull update

Eric M- So as some of you know we are working on the red bull creation qualifier. They are returning this year to New York. Eric goes over an overview of the last time Red Bull Creation happened in New York. It is almost as if red bull creation last year did not happen. Red bull creation is where Brodie got her name from Rocco. Eric explains the project that is being created for the qualifier...A beat machine of some sort... Sounds pretty awesome! If anyone wants to solder this weekend, we are going to have a soldering party this weekend! we have to produce a video, including public display.

Eric wants to request about $400 to help with expenses for this

Nate B Motions for expenses to be paid up to $500 with i3Detroit funds, provided all receipts are turned in to the treasurer.
