New page

'''Attendees''': Jay, Chris, Roger, Tanju

'''Notes''':
* Reviewed last month's notes

* Secretary Role is still open.

* Social Media campaign, all in agreement that would be good to have towards 501c3 status. We need to come up with prize/trinket for the goals and determine the suitable platform.
Chris will investigate and choose the platform and a budget.

* Treasurer Report:
We are losing approx 300/mo have a six month run way.

* Continue to support getting kids room set up.
Waiting on reply from Engineering For Kids, on getting a kids workshop going on.

* Aug 1 anniversary, we need to do another event.
We'll do anniversary on Aug 6th due to scheduling.

* GenCon coming up Aug 1, we should do another GenCan't event. Chris and Randy to organize it. This will be the Friday right after Open House.

* We need to update the door code. It's overdue. As well as getting the RFID door reader finished.

* Jay gave an update on ATL YouTubers Meetup meeting held at the space in late May. About 10 people showed up but it didn't really click as a recurring activity.

* Concept of Instructables Nites revisited. Roger has raised hand to restart Instructables events.

* Roger also will lead organizing a Battlebots viewing party.

* Roger's Chess Nites fizzled out, didn't click.

* We need to reinvigorate recurring activities for the events calendar.

* Maker Faire coming up. We need to start soliciting volunteers for helping run our booth at the Faire. Running the powerwheels at the Faire is completely separate activity from having a booth.

* Additional ideas for recurring events:
** Music -Chris
** Sewing -Chris
** 3D CAD/drafting with 3Dorchard.com -Tanju
** Programming game craft - Jay
** Drone Stuff - Jay
** Arduino/RasPi - Bret Lanius has mentioned doing one?
** Carpentry - Mike Smith?
** Gina Gareau Clark GISHWES project as mentioned on Facebook starts next week. We need to encourage her to use the space as needed for that.
** Battlebots Q&A - need to ask Michael and Randy to come in and Q&A and post mortem at a time that's convenient for them

** We need to get the RetroPie barcade done and it would be great to take it to Makerfaire. Really it's just a matter of getting a cabinet built. Maybe we can get Mike Smith do carpentry class on building a cabinet?

** Jay did connect with Andretti's Marietta location about sponsoring our PPPRS, but hey said they had no money.
