* Dan Barlow - Identifying and obtaining better laser tube.
* Julia "juri" Longtin - Bringing much needed funding to HacDC equipment.

=== Vice President's Report ===
==== Admin Team ====
* CAT6 has been run for several things around the space.
*** 3D printer station machine (the cube is directly under the switch so we didn't run one for that)
*** Laser and laser station machine
*** CNC station machine
*** Clear modem (we have a plan for load alancing between the church and clear within the space)
*** Ham Desk (includes remote access for the wifi gear on the roof)
** There will be more but we know these things will be on the wired network so we ran cables for them. They are not mounted because we had a miscommunication about the available mounting options. We want for it to be in conduit but we were hoping to do that when the AC electrical is upgraded to coordinate the conduit selection. We didn't have a chance to crimp them all before leaving. Feel free to crimp (type A wire order) and test them tonight. There is a diagram on the crimper and we have ezcrimp terminators. El Presidente can give access to those materials which are on lone from ITechGeek.
** If you want network ports anywhere in particular in the space, email [mailto:admin+icanhazjack@hacdc.org?subject=icanhazjack admin+icanhazjack@hacdc.org] and we'll take those requests into account when we run more cables.
* We have one of the switches donated by Ahmed on the second to top shelf of the set over the main workbench in the workroom. Please try to not unplug it for too long or unplug any network cables from it. It is a smart switch and the ports in use are mapped to VLANs some of those VLANs are setup to restrict access to various things (like the mesh and ham radios from the the greater church network). The other switch donated by Ahmed is in the network closet of the church and is the switch distributing internet to the rest of the church.
* There is another gigabit smart switch we wanted to put in the basement for servers down there. It is currently MIA and help finding it would be appreciated. It is a dark blue, half depth rackmount, Trednet or Netgear. If you know where it went or where in the basement it got too please email [mailto:admin@hacdc.org?subject=found%20network%20switch admin@hacdc.org].

=== Treasurer's Report ===
Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for August 2014: [[File:HacDC Financials 2014 08.pdf]]. We gained Celeste, Enrique, and Phillip as new members. We lost Ruben Duque, Elizabeth Smith, Dan Koestler, and Bjorn Westergard. We have 44 dues-paying members in good standing, 7 dues-waived members, and 2 members who are behind on dues.

==== Project Awesome ====
Here is the Project Awesome spreadsheet for August: [[File:HacDC PA Projects-2014 08.pdf]]. We continue to have to dip into savings to pay our rent, so no dividend this month. :(

=== Secretary's Report ===
I purchased a house this past Wednesday, so I'm busy and not at HacDC tonight.

I updated the members@ list with the latest regarding the Hac<b>k</b>DC situation. I will continue to pursue this issue as discussed with the rest of BoD.

The OpenPGP Card group order has arrived. I will bring the cards/readers to the Cryptoparty for people to collect their share. If you need it sooner, you'll need to schedule with me.

I have new signs for the bathrooms, but since I haven't been to the space in over two weeks I haven't had a chance to put them up. Next time I'm there I'll get them installed.

I also made ten copies of the space key, because we ran out last month, but as I haven't been to the space they're not in the BoD locker yet.

While I'm buying stuff for my house, I'll also pick up a replacement door handle for the pirate bathroom.

If there's anything else, you can call me up, but my phone currently gets no service in my new basement so don't be offended if I don't pick up, it probably means my phone didn't ring.

=== Director-at-Large Reports ===

== [[:Category:Project_Awesome|Project Awesome]] Reports ==
=== Project LASER ===

=== Project BYZANTIUM ===
We basically blew off yet another sprint last month because I was busy with the Crab-B-Q. (By the way, you can totally cook crabs in a smoker.)

We are slacking and we really need to pull it together soon. I'm just having trouble making time for things.

=== Project KITBUILD ===

Project KITBUILD's shepherd has been out of commission all Summer but hopes to be able to get something together in late October or November.

=== Project SUPPLIES ===
Have a ~$50 receipt for various screws purchased from Fastenal, mostly for the optical table.

=== Project EXPANSION ===
For lack of incoming funding, the project coordinator (mirage335) feels that any purchase made from these funds must be well planned.

=== Project SPACECAM ===

[[File:OpticalTableRobot.png|400px|right]]
Finally designed the [[OpticalTableRobot]]. Similar to the FlexReplicator, supports multiple tools simultaneously. However, this platform is far more rigid (absolute accuracy expected to be <2um across the ~8'x4' work area). Surprisingly, it is also cheaper than a FlexReplicator, thanks to the free table and extrusions.

Julia Longtin has successfully sought investors, and plans to use the robot to manufacture large car parts.

* Reminders
** LABELS!
*** bins - what is inside (generally, but create an index if you want)
*** shelves - what goes there and where on the shelf it goes
*** projects - who is in charge of it, when it is expected to be gone by, how to appropriately store it if it hasn't been removed by then
** SHOP RULES! (i am a bad human)
** Bike theft - bypassing locks outside of the space should be reported to church security/staff or the police. use your judgement when considering calling the police.

* News
** the basement has internets
** the basement may have a server in it by the time the meeting starts

=== Treasurer's Report ===
Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for July 2014: [[File:HacDC Financials 2014 07.pdf]]. We gained Ed O'Brien as a new member and regained founder Andrew Righter (Q).

No news. Had to take personal time off. Hope to pick up in the Fall.

=== Project SUPPLIES ===
Bought some screws for our optical table. More importantly, we are now down to a $849.12 balance. As before, this continued loss of funding is undesirable and somewhat unexpected given recent publicity campaigns.

=== Project EXPANSION ===
Considering a chop saw, still not sure what to buy.

=== Project SPACECAM ===

== Member Reports ==
=== mirage335 ===
Beginning work on the optical table, example 3D printed mounting hardware in the basement. Have also repaired one and partially reassembled one of Dan Barlow's projectors, planning to deploy the components on the optical table.

==== FlexReplicator ====
Platform design complete, awaiting construction.

Mirage proposes the following amendment to the [[Standing Rules]]:
:Effective immediately, quorum is set to ten members. Henceforth, when quorum is not met two months in a row, the number of members required to meet quorum shall be reduced to the greatest number present in any of those months minus one.
Note that amendments to the standing rules require a 2/3 majority vote of a quorum of members.

Authorize Dan Barlow to spend available Project Laser funds for repairs, replacement parts, and upgrades.

HOPE X is coming up. I have a spare bed in my room if you need a place to crash.

We have mesh radios on the roof that might actually be able to connect to things!

Toast is going to come pick up the unused arcade machine.

=== Director-at-Large Reports ===

== [[:Category:Project_Awesome|Project Awesome]] Reports ==
=== Project LASER ===

=== Project BYZANTIUM ===
The ISC published an article recognizing the work we did last year for the grant.

We are working with HARC to mesh-connect the space.

We spent some money on HARC/Byzantium-related equipment for the mesh radios on the roof. Like outdoor-rated Cat 5E STP and connectors. We plan to expense these purchases with PA funds and the remaining grant money.

=== Project KITBUILD ===

=== Project SUPPLIES ===
Lack of new funds comming in is starting to become mildly worrisome. This month's expenses include:

* End mills.
* Labeling tape.
* Magenta ink.
* PLA cartridges.

=== Project EXPANSION ===
Considering a chop saw instead of a band saw. Still need to get research done and validated.

=== Project SPACECAM ===

== Member Reports ==
=== mirage335 ===
Have been extremely busy with tasks hoped to become profitable soon.

Photolithography fab has been scaled up even further to larger high-resolution board. Plans, talent, and supplies have been mobilized towards a simple, automatic PCB fab workstation, with throughput in the range of about a dozen of boards per hour, with full multilayer capability.

This book was widely used by microscopists and is still regarded as a good learning reference, but the original binding is rare and prone to falling apart.

=== Make: Magazine Gift Subscriptions ===

Motion: To develop a HacDC 3D-printable trinket or gift and a holiday card to give to people who would like to buy Make: Magazine subscriptions through our Make:Money program.

Seconded by:

Background: At least one member has already expressed an interest in buying gift subscriptions. Subscriptions won't begin until after the holidays, so creating a trinket and card would allow the giver to have something to present to the person they bought the magazine for. Subscriptions cost $34.95. HacDC keeps half of that amount for each subscription.

Discussion:

* Nothing in this requires a vote.

=== FIRST Robotics Team Mentorship ===

Motion: To approve an organization-wide mentorship of a local FIRST robotics team.

Seconded by:

Background: FIRST Robotics representatives have asked HacDC to sponsor (non-monetarily), a local DC team. HacDC would "adopt" a team, and individual members would meet with the team at their high school, the HacDC space, or other locations, to help them prepare for the FIRST Robotics competition. HacDC members with varying expertise would be needed.

* Nothing in this requires a vote.

=== Motion to restrict communication with landlords ===

Motion: To authorize the HacDC board of directors to carry out ALL business and communication with the landlord AND all personnel employed by the landlord. And, to restrict all other members from ANY discussions involving HacDC, HacDC business, or other HacDC members with the landlord.

Seconded:

Background: Recently, member(s) of HacDC who believe it is their role to speak on HacDC's behalf with our landlords have been communicating information about HacDC that paint it in a negative light, without any logical reason for doing so. There have also been discussions with church personnel which include private details about members of HacDC. These conversations, whether carried out in good conscience, harm HacDC's relationship with our landlord and also harm the reputation of individual HacDC members who's reputations have been besmirched.

* tabled

=== Make: Magazine Gift Subscriptions ===

Motion: To develop a HacDC 3D-printable trinket or gift and a holiday card to give to people who would like to buy Make: Magazine subscriptions through our Make:Money program.

Seconded by:

Background: At least one member has already expressed an interest in buying gift subscriptions. Subscriptions won't begin until after the holidays, so creating a trinket and card would allow the giver to have something to present to the person they bought the magazine for. Subscriptions cost $34.95. HacDC keeps half of that amount for each subscription.

Discussion:

* Nothing in this requires a vote.

=== FIRST Robotics Team Mentorship ===

Motion: To approve an organization-wide mentorship of a local FIRST robotics team.

Seconded by:

Background: FIRST Robotics representatives have asked HacDC to sponsor (non-monetarily), a local DC team. HacDC would "adopt" a team, and individual members would meet with the team at their high school, the HacDC space, or other locations, to help them prepare for the FIRST Robotics competition. HacDC members with varying expertise would be needed.

* Nothing in this requires a vote.

=== Motion to restrict communication with landlords ===

Motion: To authorize the HacDC board of directors to carry out ALL business and communication with the landlord AND all personnel employed by the landlord. And, to restrict all other members from ANY discussions involving HacDC, HacDC business, or other HacDC members with the landlord.

Seconded:

Background: Recently, member(s) of HacDC who believe it is their role to speak on HacDC's behalf with our landlords have been communicating information about HacDC that paint it in a negative light, without any logical reason for doing so. There have also been discussions with church personnel which include private details about members of HacDC. These conversations, whether carried out in good conscience, harm HacDC's relationship with our landlord and also harm the reputation of individual HacDC members who's reputations have been besmirched.

Come to [http://hacdc.org/content/t2-return-tea-night T2: Return of Tea Night] on Sunday at 7 p.m.

Go [[HacDC Spaceblimp 3]]! (Launch planned for Saturday the 13th.)

== Member Reports ==

=== Make: Magazine Gift Subscriptions ===

Motion: To develop a HacDC 3D-printable trinket or gift and a holiday card to give to people who would like to buy Make: Magazine subscriptions through our Make:Money program.

Seconded by:

Background: At least one member has already expressed an interest in buying gift subscriptions. Subscriptions won't begin until after the holidays, so creating a trinket and card would allow the giver to have something to present to the person they bought the magazine for. Subscriptions cost $34.95. HacDC keeps half of that amount for each subscription.

Discussion:

=== FIRST Robotics Team Mentorship ===

Motion: To approve an organization-wide mentorship of a local FIRST robotics team.

Seconded by:

Background: FIRST Robotics representatives have asked HacDC to sponsor (non-monetarily), a local DC team. HacDC would "adopt" a team, and individual members would meet with the team at their high school, the HacDC space, or other locations, to help them prepare for the FIRST Robotics competition. HacDC members with varying expertise would be needed.

=== Motion to restrict communication with landlords ===

Motion: To authorize the HacDC board of directors to carry out ALL business and communication with the landlord AND all personnel employed by the landlord. And, to restrict all other members from ANY discussions involving HacDC, HacDC business, or other HacDC members with the landlord.

Seconded:

Background: Recently, member(s) of HacDC who believe it is their role to speak on HacDC's behalf with our landlords have been communicating information about HacDC that paint it in a negative light, without any logical reason for doing so. There have also been discussions with church personnel which include private details about members of HacDC. These conversations, whether carried out in good conscience, harm HacDC's relationship with our landlord and also harm the reputation of individual HacDC members who's reputations have been besmirched.

=== New Members ===

Sunsh1ne (Beckie) - Formerly of Twin Cities maker now in the DC area. Has been paying dues, but unfortunately could not make it to the meeting tonight. Talk to Alberto, timball, or (possibly) Elliot for more information.

Talk:Form 1023 Draft

DanBarlow: Suggestion for section IV

4a. Do you or will the individuals that approve compensation arrangements follow a conflict of interest policy? No
4b. Do you or will you approve compensation arrangements in advance of paying compensation? No
4c. Do you or will you document in writing the date and terms of approved compensation arrangements? No

-Dan Barlow comments

I think we need to be able to answer yes to these.
4a. Conflict of interest should be avoided. What do we consider a conflict of interest? Is there a legal definition we can point to and say "we use that"?
4b. Should always be Yes. Currently we can spend up to $500 without approval. I suggest that should be limited to supplies, and any compensation should have to be approved in advance at a voting meeting of the membership.
4c. Following 4b. the documentation would be the approved minutes of the meeting where the compensation was approved.

Components Store

2009-03-09T21:17:44Z

DanBarlow: /* Current Inventory */

A sizable inventory of electronic components was purchased for [[Hackersmart]], with the goal that the unsold portion thereof would seed HacDC's electronics lab. This has come to pass, and the components are arranged on a pegboard by the soldering desk. This page is to explain what's available, how much it costs, where to get more, and as a place to request additions to the store.

Pricing is intended to cover our cost and shipping, and to make the store self-sustaining like the fridge. These are internal "member's prices", and may not reflect what we charge at conferences, where there's an understanding that purchases actively help HacDC.

Ring up purchases of these items using the [[cash register]]. ''Should all of the items here go under new [[cash register]] department code 4 for Bulk Parts? - [[User:Katie|Katie]] 19:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)''

=== Suppliers: ===

[http://www.mouser.com Mouser] and [http://www.digikey.com Digi-Key] are the "big guns" of the hobbyist and small professional electronics market, with breathtaking inventories, fast order fulfillment, and sophisticated websites. Digi-Key adds a handling fee to orders under $25.

[http://www.mpja.com Marlin P. Jones & Associates] is a smaller web retailer specializing in power supplies, but with a fair assortment of other stuff too. Their prices on breadboards are hard to beat. (Thanks [http://serialwombat.com/ Jon] for that tip!)

[http://www.allelectronics.com/ All Electronics] has been in the surplus electronics game for a long time, with a small newsprint catalog that's a staple in many geeks' bathrooms. As with any surplus dealer, their inventory is constantly in flux, and sometimes they have really amazing deals.

[http://www.bgmicro.com/ B.G. Micro] (known pre-9/11 as "The Electronics Mecca", now calls itself "The Electronics Supplier") is a small mostly-surplus dealer whose bright yellow catalog offers Texas humor mixed with eyestrain. Their shopping cart software is chaotic evil, but they have great prices, particularly on industrial stuff like thermal fuses and zener diodes.

[http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/ Electronics Goldmine] has a better selection of motors, magnets, and boxes than almost anyone else. They offer "GoldPaks", grab-bags and assortments of surplus (sometimes take-outs) hardware, some of which are so-so deals and some of which are simply jawdropping.

:Back room has been pressure washed, needs some peelaway application to get more paint off and then cleaning/degreasing. Intent is to drylok this space as well.

= Paint removal =

The walls are covered in pretty nasty old paint, much of which is already flaking off. We presume at least some layers contain lead. Wirebrushes and scrapers are the preferred tool to remove this without turning it to powder in the process.

Nick says:
:I believe the last, best proposed solution for the lead paint mitigation, based on Martin's experience and some other research that I've seen is to use [http://www.dumondchemicals.com/html/peelaway.htm a chemical peel and paper based solution]. This also minimizes the risk to those doing the work and helps enable proper hazmat disposal.

Dan Barlow says:
: I tested four different colors of paint in the space with a lead test kit. All tested negative. I verified the validity of the test by swabbing some solder, which turned it red. The large majority of the loose paint was removed by pressure washing, and we will use the peelaway that was provided. After preparation, the walls are being coated with drylok http://www.ugl.com/drylokMasonry/masonryWaterproofer/latex.php and the floor could benefit from coating as well -- considering [epoxy | porch paint | concrete sealer].

= Asbestos encapsulation =

A large steam pipe runs the length of the room, near the ceiling. It is wrapped in mineral wool insulation, presumed to be asbestos. The EPA has changed its tune on this in recent years, and now recommends professional contractors be used for even the most minor of repairs, but I (Nate) am comfortable following the old guidelines, to encapsulate the fibers with latex paint, which is very effective at keeping them from getting into the air.

Nick says:
:As far as the asbestos pipe, the best solution I've heard so far from a few sources is to cover it with a plywood sheath. As there will probably be a lot of stuff moving around down there, the odds the pipe will get inadvertently hit are high enough to warrant a more structurally protective solution. The big problem with asbestos is disturbing it, puncturing any sheath we put around it, etc. Given we have the materials to do it (the wood we have left over from the loft).

Dan Barlow says:
:There are two leaks in the steam system in the space. Right at the ceiling radiator valve is the worst one, which drips boiling water on you. The other appears to be a minor leak in the steam delivery pipe just before it goes into the tunnel. This has messed with the pipe insulation. Both should be fixed by the church before we encapsulate.
:Suggestion: Once the walls and floor are up to spec, call in the church maintenance and ask them to do or schedule the steam repairs. After the repairs are complete, go ahead with the wood sheath plan.

= Safety gear =

We have Tyvek bunny-suits, half-mask respirators, goggles, and shoe covers. These should keep most of the nasty off your skin, but plan to go home and shower after your shift anyway. Can't be too careful.

= Electrical Power =

[[User:Myself|Nate]] says:
:It appears that all the nearby distribution panels are maxed out and many already host more than their share of double "cheater" breakers, so running new circuits would involve adding a sub-panel off the main, which is relatively distant. This would cost a chunk of change.

:Alternatively, we can try to add outlets in our room that're served by a few neighboring circuits, so we'd be unlikely to blow breakers just by running a few tools at the same time as a dust extractor. This is the low-hanging fruit and seems reasonable. The church has a local electrician who they've worked with before, who only charges $75/hr, who would likely be amenable to letting us do the bulk of the work ourselves and just performing final hookup himself.

:On the plus side, being below grade and having no significant sun exposure, the room stays pretty cool in summer, and Brian doesn't think an air conditioner would be necessary unless we were running some pretty heavy duty equipment down there for long periods.

Dan Barlow says:
:There are two (scary) circuits in the space, both of which are controlled by circuit breakers somewhere we can't find them. One is the ceiling lights. The other is a single outlet in the back which is shared by the outside motion-sensing security light. Plugging in a shop vac and a pressure washer was enough to blow the breaker. I recommend we ignore the current circuit as too dangerous/impractical due to not knowing which breaker and what rating it is. There are other options:

We have been plugging in to the 110V outlet in the boiler room which is assigned to the clothes washer. A 220V outlet for a dryer is available, but not sure if it is safe to split it into two 110V circuits (would expect a safety ground + neutral, 4 wire circuit but dryer plug is 3 wires.) Should be OK for extending to 220V equipment if a suitably heavy extension cable is found.

The steam tunnel opposite the entrance door to the space extends all the way around the church, and passes beneath the main power entry. The "right" answer is to run a subpanel in the space from a feeder to the main power inlet. Subpanel boxes cost around $150 and armor-cable to meet code is around $2 per foot. Need to measure the actual run distance.

Insert calculation of actual power and lighting current estimate here.
