	Dan B. - The 4axis mill that Martin recovered has been set up with a laptop and were able to mill out a torus. If anyone can produce black & white photos to turn into pipefields / g-code we're ready for manufacturing. Dan suspects there is an SVG to G-Code filter. (Martin: Smithsonian is donating software for the mill, we will need to acquire dongle.) Mention the type of things you want to make on the blabber list. Engraving text, making machine front panels, creating 3d objects, all take different skill sets/coding jams. This is controlled via EMC.

			Martin - Access control stuff is in it's death throes. We're almost done and soon to be paid/credited.

			Toast - Quick note on the smithsonian - they have a huge facility out in landover. They have 3 gymnasiums worth of gear with no one to use it. By volunteering at the "Office of Exhibit Central", we can possibly gain access to it. (Phil is interested)

			Jamie (2) - 757 Labs has a working Laser cutter
