	Should we look into getting a Clear modem to improve Internet access inside the space? (Tim) $50/month plus $20 for refurb modem. Up to 6Mb/1Mb but concerns about caps and throttling. Cancelling Linode will save $37/mo that could go to this.		Should we look into getting a Clear modem to improve Internet access inside the space? (Tim) $50/month plus $20 for refurb modem.

			* 13 for, 1 opposed

	(Tim) Should we allocate money to purchase a camcorder, mic, and accessories for recording classes and events? I think we should have everything on hand and make it as easy as possible to record stuff (with everyone's permission of course) and post it to YouTube (or whatever). Entry-level camcorder is $150-200 (would want one with a mic input), mic is $50, tripod is $30, memory card is $20, so total is $250-300. We would keep it locked up and give presenters the combo so it wouldn't be easily stolen.

			* unanimously approved

	(Tim) I'd also like to get business cards for the officers/directors that want them. I'm not fussy, VistaPrint black & white with HacDC logo is fine - $10 for 250(?). Once we have template, making cards for new people will be easy.		(Tim) I'd also like to get business cards for the officers/directors that want them.

			Micro-mill is pretty much a go. Surface is level so circuit boards can be done again. Brief tutorial required before use for newbies. Idea to create a CNC/3D stamp for passports.

			'''Brad'''
			Went to New America Foundation and talked about space capsules, and all kinds of hackish things. Attracted a lot of attention and potential visitors/members. Met 3D printing policy wonk and arranged a meetup this summer.
			Brad has started a new project to hack the AR Drone and replace internals with arduino and open source components.

			Free junk table outside is for a very limited time only. Will be e-recycling soon. Need to update wiki with desired donations and rules surrounding donations to cut down on junk accumulation.

			Robot Fest is April 14th in Lithicum, MD. Good outreach opportunity. Need to respond to Gary soon. Science and Technology Festival at end of month as well.
