	Ivy invited us to run a table at shmoo con. Security conference. Security capture the flag. Will bring stickers and brochures. Mentioned that we do more maker stuff. Our choice, but will be a bunch of geeks there, so whatever we do will be interesting, but may not be relevant. Will not hand out all our stickers. Also lobby con, no ticket required -- just hang out outside the conference and talk to everyone.		Ivy invited us to run a table at shmoo con. Security conference. Security capture the flag.

	More free stuff = less buying of things. Contact Eric before bringing things in. This is a good time of year to get free stuff from dumpsters. We do not need more printers.

	Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for December 2012: [[File:HacDC_Financials_2012_12.pdf]]. We gained two new members (Paul Commons and Christine Prefontaine), and lost two (Daniel Watson and Greg Rice). We had 53 paying members and 4 non-paying members (two are in transition between payment methods). This leaves us below the 57 we need to meet expenses with dues alone again. Members kicking in extra are keeping us positive again this month - thanks!		Here is the financial summary spreadsheet for December 2012: [[File:HacDC_Financials_2012_12.pdf]].

	I'm putting together a "Stuff and Space" committee to help write Standing Rules on how we manage and disposition our stuff, and allocate space. We have myself, Martin, DanB, and are waiting to hear from David Whiteis. With luck we will have something to vote on at the annual meeting.

			=== Chris ===

			Sound abatement panels completed. Do not squish them please. Will make it so the work area does not get so loud. If you have extra whiteboards, cork boards, plastic bins, etc, we would like these. Dry erase crayons are awesome. Dry-erase friendly paint? Board stuff is cheaper than paint. Other options discussed. Plexiglass. Glass also works. Diamonds. Gold. Terapin trader run anyone?

	I continue to read (on CNCzone.com) some stories of shabby treatment of customers by FSLaser - not honoring warranties, not paying for shipping on defective parts, lasers arriving pretty trashed from China, etc. So I want to do a full search of alternatives before pulling the trigger. If we are able to afford a 60W from somewhere else I think I'd go for that instead - the 40W FSlaser needs multiple passes to cut 1/4" materials. --TMS		I continue to read (on CNCzone.com) some stories of shabby treatment of customers by FSLaser - not honoring warranties, not paying for shipping on defective parts, lasers arriving pretty trashed from China, etc. So I want to do a full search of alternatives before pulling the trigger.
