    • Insurance - currently working on finding an insurance provider - have several requirements from lawyer including dependancies on some waivers and policies
    • Training/Maintenance - Same people applied for both groups so they are now one - Working on implementing Canvas as an online authorization process, compiling list of tools and things we need to know about each piece of equipment (primarily safety and maintenance)
    • Policies and docs - Waiver is completed (currently testing usability), Alcohol policy is mostly complete (needs lawyer review), Loaned tool policy (has an insurance requirement dependency).
    • RFID - Andrew V., Andrew W., Andrew C., currently working on hardware and software for machine control. Putting in protections so you can't turn on a machine accidentaly, no machine alterations required.

Announcements, Events, Discussion

  • Halloween party on the 29th
  • Potluck on 5th Tuesday
    • Halloween Themed
  • Adler Pop-Up - Dec 26-20
    • Is this for promo for us or for kids outreach
    • If you want to get involved touch base with Andrew C (President), Ash (CNC), Ray (PR)
  • Jeff C - Member meeting is not a inviting to new members - consider having softer introductions to guests and new members
  • Working group updates discussion - Tom J. concerned that groups is "old-boys-club", not enough communication from the membership, that groups exist or meet - Ed B. mentions that open calls to the group were made and that people that can make a consistent commitment to attend and participate are welcome. Coming in for one meeting for random input disrupts general flow of discussion and progress. Work performed by these groups (not including those related to fiduciary duties of the board) will be presented to membership for review. - Aushra A. says that the groups are composed of people that show up and participate - Andrew C. commits to do more to notify the membership of groups and progress, agrees currently messy process but much to do.
