Introductions

Experienced Members

  • James O introduces himself. He's been a member for 3 years, and he's the compute zone and media zone coordinator. He's chairing the meeting tonight because he says so and wants to show off LED projects
  • Tony mumbles and trails off. He runs the machine shop.
  • Dana is also an 'old member' and she's the VP of Member Retention. And she's really good at headlocks.
  • Vivian, the Senior VP, says hi.

New Members & Guests

  • Evan has been here a few times as a guest and is back. He likes woodworking and electronics.
  • Steve is here with Tony
  • Sue ??? is interested in laser cutting and the kilns, and she thinks everything here is really interesting.

Show and Tell

  • Rich has a project to show off. It started with a bunch of scrap wood, and he's turned it into a rolling workshop. It's a cart with tool storage, drawers, power outlets, lighting and a work surface on top.
  • Dana has game pieces from a 'fake' game from Avatar The Last Airbender that has been turned into a real game. They're laser cut and engraved wood disks with pretty designs on them, and she's making a ton of them.
  • Mike W has a pun-axe. It's an axe head mounted on a guitar neck. slow clap

Hackernest Tech Social Thing in March

  • POC: Matt Arnold

Hackernest's March venue fell through, and they were wondering if we would be interested in hosting them again. If you would be interested in hosting them as guests on Monday the 20th (or possibly another day around there, there's some flexibility) contact Matt. Tony may be interested

Penguicon is Coming!

From Dana: Someone from All Hands Active is most likely setting up the hackerspace presence at Penguicon, and it would be awesome if we could get some i3 folks to volunteer there. The main focus is the learn to solder badges. Volunteering for a few hours can get you half-price admission and all the free beer you want (at least when you're not volunteering). Email diy@penguicon.org if you're interested.
