Action Items

Treasurer's Report

We have 83 members.

Finance Committee

The gnucash book is broken. I get the following error:

"Use of uninitialized value $desc in pattern match (m//) at ./report.pl line 66."

Which means I have probably entered data into gnucash wrong. I will upload the treasurer's report when I get back into town and have time to find the error in gnucash.

Improvements

Metal Lathe assembled and South Wall has Been Modified. Currently we are trying to decide if the shop needs 3 Lathes.

Meeting Minutes

Tyler Crumpton started the meeting at 19:30.

Tyler gave the treasurer's report at 19:31 since he is the deputy treasurer and Jennifer is not here. See above for details.

Phil gave the facilities report at 19:33. The south wall is now done as far as member grants go. The remainder of the member grant for the south wall will go into the facilities fund. The powerbolt has been finicky lately, so please don't slam the door even though there's a catch. There is a new metal lathe on the south wall that was donated before the pig roast. We've been having some VM host issues that we're working through, but it hasn't affected the website thanks to Nathan's efforts. The new large laser cutter is now functional with minor caveats. Talk to Daniel Valdez if you're interested.

Events:

The pig roast happened recently! We had 100+ people that came and donated. The LAN party went well.

The Huntsville Hamfest is coming up in the middle of August. It's always a blast. There is a fee to enter.

Shae gave an E'n'E about Haskell recently. Mog will be giving one in the near future among others, so keep an eye on the calendar.

Shae visited 3 makerspaces this past weekend and wants to talk about it!

The next meeting will occur on August 20th.
