Please read Area Host Meeting Notes 11-06-2012 and Area Host Meeting Notes 11-27-2012 to go over issues from last year before attending.

Agenda:

  • Is the work described in 3519 Electrical Work sufficient to make your area be up to electrical code, in your opinion?
  • Successes / concerns / requests from area hosts
  • Opinions on Tidy Space
  • We have to change how certifications work.
    • Mass certifications?
    • Area host office hours like Colin has?
    • This is especially important in the wood and metal shop because there are far more tools requiring certifications, yet neither of those spaces have regular certification times.

  • Anna suggests certified in groups

    • specialized tools
  • making sure the certification is understood
    • can we post projects on the wiki for certain tools so it reinforces through practice
      • encourage people to look at these projects to reiforce what they have learned and encourage hacking in general
