What have you been hacking
- Will is getting stuff to make the fridge smart with a Wii Fit board and a Raspberry Pi. It'll notify Will about what runs out in the fridge.
- Shelly has a few more drawings for her dragon coloring book
- Brian has plans to build a vacuum-forming machine
- Trying to figure out where it would live - maybe in the old hot metals spot because of power
- It needs some clearance when on, but can roll into the wall
- Also discussed safety features like a deadman switch
- Does it need ventilation? If that area ends up with a paint booth, ventilation could be already built in
- Also considering a portable fume extractor in general for the space. Expensive.
- There's one for the laser that didn't end up working so well. Weak. Could it be blocked? Holes in the hoses? Ron worked on it a bit.
- Also considering a portable fume extractor in general for the space. Expensive.

Questions
- How did this meeting's format go?
- Liked having the members meeting without the new folks
- Had different and more indepth conversations
- Would have liked to have the announcements to happen with the new folks
- Could also make sure that announcements are read in the new member meeting
- And ask the people running the new member meeting to talk about things that they have made or hacked or things that have happened recently
