	# '''Workspace Opening Up''' - status update		# '''Workspace Opening Up''' - status update. Church common areas still requires masks. Inside workroom: members welcome to not wear masks as long as others give consensus - default to most conservative attendee.
	# '''Resources for Instructors''' - on website, could include: list of tools available to instructors and process for requesting access (Zoom, Google Groups). How are Tristan/Ethan doing with Jitsi?		## Two Saturdays Ago - Matt, Kevin, Tayeb went to get 3D printers running again. Need 2-3 more "hackdays" before Octaprint server runs with 3 functional printers.
			### Monoprice printer (Ultamaker style) is working now (yay!).
			### Second printer needs OEM part costs $400 (value for $3500 printer).
			### Ninjaflex printer works
			#### Kevin: the rubber does get stuck, so there is a process for cleaning out the tube which needs to happen between runs in order for it to work again
			## New likely tools:
			### ~$2000-$2400 for laser cutter - already scoped by Ethan and Tayeb
			#### Matt: if do this may need to (1) account for safety and (2) increase our insurance liability
			#### Michelle: would like to see a committee formed for interested parties to devote long-term success for this project
			### Existing laser cutter - John curious if we need this => Tayeb feels it should hang around because members like to tinker on it but maybe time to relegate to basement to get more space.
			### Build-a-Laser-Cutter idea - Mario could produce a DIY one
			### "tool certification" - Kevin says FabLab has this for their laser cutter use; specifies what kinds of materials you can/cannot burn; John points out will take some effort to run properly
			# '''Resources for Instructors''' - on website, could include: list of tools available to instructors and process for requesting access (Zoom, Google Groups). How are Tristan/Ethan doing with Jitsi? TechSoup Zoom is not free, sadly, so not viable unless demand is there. See "OBS Studio" which a member could download and record then post. See "Big Blue Button" (see Kevin) - cons: single-screen sharing compared to Jitsi's multi-screen sharing. (note: Jitsi does recording but does so poorly.)
	# '''UpCycled''' - Mario in touch with Orlando on potential collaboration related to recycling; see [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/waste-to-wonder-happy-hour-tickets-223441719197?aff=ebdsoporgprofile# past fundraiser].		# '''UpCycled''' - Mario in touch with Orlando on potential collaboration related to recycling; see [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/waste-to-wonder-happy-hour-tickets-223441719197?aff=ebdsoporgprofile# past fundraiser].
