Cat 6 cable (on behalf of Kai) — whether it would be a good idea for us to purchase a long Cat6 cable for the front area, which apparently isn't receiving the wifi signal very well.
No. (what does it achieve over Cat5? why doesn't Kai just go and buy some?)
Event housekeeping — Some guests haven't been cleaning up after themselves after events. I'd like for us to formulate a list of mandatory announcements.
procedure change: events officer offer creating Facebook event if organiser is not doing so and posting on HackerspaceSG Facebook page either way (RT to draft text)
Chinmay volunteered as events officer, in addition to Ivan, Justin and Kelvin
Finances — how we're doing, how we may improve;
Luther: attempt to retrieve mail from old location
Luther: ask Ruiwen and Meng to update bank address
Luther: sort out insurance
CJ: set up PayPal subscriptions for big/small/tiny locker 15/10/6 and company address 10
Roland: get to monthly on time invoicing and statements with Juanita
Luther: make financial spreadsheets (CJs list) available to selected members
marketing ourselves to new members;
Valentine: membership survey: why are you a member? What use do you currently/wish to make use of HSG? Etc.
Chinmay: Make a list of event organisers (should be members) to refer hosted event enquiries to?
Roland (and also everybody else): find user groups to encourage to use the space for user group meetings etc.
Roland: install Google Analytics (CJ provide key)
fundraising for better furniture (among other things).
(next meeting, but open design-of-HackerspaceSG-layout discussion on list) more shelves, usable tables that can be put away during events
Valentine: doc policy about having own stuff in the space available for others when owner not around
Luther
Getting our makerbot working and letting members know how to use it. Will be a great item to have since Roland is around. I really would like to get my hands dirty with it.
Roland: document procedure for use, poll for interest in workshop
Membership paperwork/process
Luther: document electronic[-first] membership process
for future discussion: rewards for new member referrals, so long as they (a) pay, (b) on time
Frequency of plenum
- Roland: get consensus on plenum day (Roland unable to do Tuesday), perhaps 1st Monday
