			100 people for Raspberry Pi workshop! Filled the church sanctuary. Could have used a PA system - should remember for future events in the church. Gert board was lost and then recovered. $100 in tips. Interest in a regular Raspberry Pi event? 3D Printing of cases?

			Meeting with United Cerebral Palsy (UCP). They see a lot of overlap between their goals and hackerspaces. Did some brainstorming on ways they can reach out to hackers and possibly develop joint projects. They would like to have a hackerspace with a focus on accessibility (unlike HacDC unfortunately).

			Interest from DC public library via Kevin Cole on teaching electronics to the blind - they have funds for equipment if someone can teach it.

Treasurer's Report

	With the start of Project Awesome I have changed my financial spreadsheets around a bit. I am now tracking regular expenses and earmarked Project Awesome expenses separately, and reporting the total amount of earmarks and the net reserve (total cash minus earmarks). This will give a clearer picture of the different flavors of money. For example this month we had ~$400 of expenses from money already earmarked for Byzantium. Including it gives us a $318 loss for the month, but our net available reserve actually increased $77.		With the start of Project Awesome I have changed my financial spreadsheets around a bit.

			I hit people up for donations at the Raspberry Pi workshop and had $100 in the tip jar at the end of the day (not sure how much was there before). Don't be shy, ask for donations at events, especially if there are lots of non-members there. (Haven't deposited yet so not in spreadsheet anywhere.)

			Jamie/ITG used Google Script to make me a voting page but I haven't had time to check it out - for now still send votes to awesome@hacdc.org.

			Have created the [[PA_LaserCutter]] project page. Looks like Full Spectrum Laser has their new hobby laser product in production: http://fslaser.com/products/lasers/hobby-lasers/newhobby. That's the model I would shoot for at this point but other suggestions are welcome. --TimS

Treasurer's Report

			Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for Sept 2012: [[File:HacDC_Financials_2012_09.pdf]] We lost two members in September (Nick Stoler and Sara Peek, who both moved out of the area), added no members, and extended our record to 8 non-paying members - some have probably dropped without telling us, but others have already made up the missing dues. 51 paying members does not meet our regular expenses, but the additional donations are making the difference for now. Next month should be better.

			Only one project has been proposed - Project LASER - so it got 100% of the votes for September. However, our net income (earmarked expenses excluded) was only $77. I'd like to put away $100 a month minimum, so I can't declare a project dividend for September. There will be more money available next month so please send out some proposals!
