== [[Regular_Member_Meeting_2023_02_14|Approval of Previous Meeting's Minutes]] ==

== Recognition ==

* Gabe and Daniel for researching alternative Internet hosting
* Karen for past donations

== New Members ==

* Jared and Matthew M.
* Jared's got a background in mechanical engineering. Along with Matthew M. wants to investigate the CNC mill. ([https://www.machsupport.com/software/mach3/ Mach 3] is apparenty the standard software controller for CNC mills.) Lives close.
* Matthew M. is a [https://nixos.org/ Nix OS Linux] fan (and the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nix_(package_manager) Nix package manager in general]), hosting sesssions on its use at the space. Also does home automation, etc. Lives close.

== Old Business ==

* The phone: Again a vote for an old-school hardwired landline.
** Brian suggests connecting to smart phones to create a phone tree
** Don says we used to have a phone for $10.00 / year with a dial tone, but no one paid the bill and it appears to have gone away
** Gabe says people use Discord to request entry, if they know about it.
** Don will reach out this week to Jamie who will probably know about the phone.
** Michelle likes Discord for a bit of security over a buzzer: It's more likely people won't be strangers. But alternatives / backups worth consideration.

* Web changes:
** Remove "get a server account"
** Onboarding documents for new members.
** Michelle is hoping to find time to work on this during the coming week.

* Electronic lock
** Preventative mainenance
** 1.5v AA batteries replaceable with a screwdriver.

* Git repositories
** Admin access to [https://github.com/hacdc GitHub] now available.
** [https://codeberg.org/HacDC Codeberg] getting a fair amount of use as well.
** (There's also an ancient, completely abandoned and mostly empty [https://gitlab.com/hacdc GitLab] account.)

* [https://www.rockvillesciencecenter.org/rscd Rockville Science Day]
** Make it a field trip instead of a tabling event.
** Sunday, April 23, 12:00 - 5:00
** Announcements will be sent to various destinations seeing if we want to make a coordinated group trek to the event.

== New Business ==

* Board elections
** [[Bylaws#Article_V:_The_Board_of_Directors|Bylaws: Board of Directors]]
** Michelle stepping down but will support incoming board members
** Matt S. is hitting the term limits
** Vice-president is a two-year position (at least): In training for president
** President: '''Obi'''
** Vice-president: '''Gabe'''
** Treasurer: '''???''' (Tristan put his name in the hat but may not be able to do it.)
*** Matt will assist incoming treasurer, and says it's not too bad
*** Dues, donations, expenses, bank account, slides, (occasional hiccups like bank mergers, church interactions, etc.)
*** Logon monthly to check bank, [https://www.coinbase.com/ CoinBase], and [https://www.paypal.com/us/home PayPal] accounts, physical trips to the bank to deposit checks
*** Taxes: Fill out Form 990 - which is simple
*** Watch business license and donations license: '''DON'T''' let them expire! It becomes an expensive problem if they expire.
** Secretary: '''???'''
** At-large 1: Split between '''Don''' and '''Brian''' (Good to have a amateur radio liasons.)
** At-large 2: '''Michelle'''
** Slate: Obi, Gabe, Don/Brian, Michelle '''APPROVED'''
* Campaign to recruit members for the unfilled positions.

* Internet
** There was a hiccup that affected the church admin's Internet
** Regardless of the source, there was a meeting with Reverend Ronnie, and the decision was to become independent from the rest of the building and have our own server closet
** [https://mobilecitizen.org/ Mobile Citizen] - rather affordable at $120/year
** Concerns about ham radio access from outside the space
** Plan to keep connected to the church's system while stress-testing the new system
** In-house experts seem to have solutions to potential glitches. Getting cooperation from a service provider can be tricky, when it comes to hosting servers that are accessible externally.
** Static IP difficult / impossible. Possibly use something like [https://www.duckdns.org/ DuckDNS]
** An alternate hotspot provider but mobile citizen looks better [https://calyxinstitute.org/ Calyx Institute].
** Gabriel says: [https://www.cispes.org/ CISPES] is the other group at the church that pays for their own connection.
** Tentative testing: '''APPROVED'''

* Finances are healthy though they could use work:
** Bitcoin which was lost was found thanks to Tayeb
** COVID helped us on the rent and is still giving us a great deal
** The church accidentally paid our insurance for the year and needs to be reimbursed
** Not a lot of slack for unexpected minor catastrophes, let alone major ones.
** Need seven or eight more members in order to become more solidly stable and possibly grow the coffers.

** Gabe says people use Discord to request entry, if they know about it.
** Don will reach out this week to Jamie who will probably know about the phone.

== [[Regular_Member_Meeting_2023_01_10|Approval of Previous Meeting's Minutes]] ==

* Gabe, Ulisses for organizing the basement clean out (and Ray for hauling off the stuff Benning Road wouldn't take).
* Michelle for sticking with the presidency even after moving, getting a new job, etc., etc.

== New Members ==

* No new members

== Old Business ==

* Basement clean-out
** Lessons learned: When Benning Road says "Electronics and toxic materials" that's the '''only''' thing they take.
** Matt Pfeiffer has a [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1030692770211442800/1072330660179624017/HacDC_Workshop_-_S2.pdf new 3D floor plan of the basement with the OTR rotated]
* This is Michelle's last meeting as president
* Reaching a wider audience.
** Join Nation of Makers for the resources (networks, safety guidelines, etc.) We think we have enough money for membership
* Chris Knight and Daniel Aaron interested in cyber-security. Chris installed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_Network_Simulator-3 GNS-3] network emulator GUI on the server. Drag'n'drop servers, etc, to create the network topology. Eventually, a competition.
* Michelle proposing the creation of an automated Meeting Minutes template
** A "Looking forward" section for future events (or for removing events)
* Possible one-off courses.
** Calli offering to run a small series on web scraping/indexing, or perhaps user experience design.
** Tristan talking about Capture the Flag and/or FreeCAD class.
** Combine Web Scraping and Machine Learning classes
* Use Discord more. Still.
** 125 people at the moment are "subscribed" to the Discord server.
* Events
** Last Open Project Night was seven people
** Visitor's Night is more variable
** For every event, one person has to be officially responsible.
* Kevin proposes a restaurant or movie night quarterly?
** Michelle recommends "[https://www.generalmagicthemovie.com/ General Magic]" documentary

== New Business ==

* Phone system? See last month's minutes
** Set up an [https://www.asterisk.org/ Asterisk] server?
** Access: Until the phone works, take the phone number notice off the space.
** Go back to a hardwired landline
* Web changes
** Remove message about access to "the server" from the web page as well
** Onboarding for new members? (How to get a key, how to get a wiki account, etc.)
** Michelle: We should give members who are not board members more control
** Max and Calli would to help with web / wiki editing
** Michelle: Be careful about "SEO credits" and changing wiki page names.
** Add an "editors onboarding / best practices" page.
* [https://github.com/hacdc GitHub]
** Admin access now available
* [https://codeberg.org/HacDC Codeberg] too
* [https://www.rockvillesciencecenter.org/rscd Rockville Science Day]
** Michelle didn't feel it was worth the effort as a tabler, but a good place to visit as a member of the public.
** The relationship with Ulisses is the only win to come out of that.
* New board:
** Vice-president is "president-in-waiting" / apprentice president training to take over from the outgoing president. (Basically a two-year minimum commitment. One as vice, one as president.)
** President liaisons with church and treasurer. Not a lot of power but it's a good role for guidance person / project manager.
** Obi interested / willing to become president.
** Gabe putting in for vice president
** Tristan possibly running for treasurer
*** Set "auto-pay" notices to be sent to the entire BOD
** Keep one at-large position for a ham radio person. Probably John or Brian.
** Michelle will reach out to Phil for the other at-large (or other BOD position).
** [[Duties_of_the_Secretary|Duties of the Secretary]]
** Bylaws, standing laws, proposed standing laws, etc. Instead, we generally operate by consensus.

* When Coinbase hits $400 we're pulling the money out of that. $458.00 at present.
