			Laser is used up, need a new tube. The Laser tube is a consumable which we will need to replace every couple of years.

			Charring is different from vaporizing. If a material chars instead of vaporizing, then it will stop vaporizing even on successive passes.

			We're going to buy a new tube (with matching power supply). New tube will be twice as powerful.

			Call to action: We need more emotional awareness in the space. Be aware of not just ourselves but others. How are others feeling, are they uncomfortable, are they being made uncomfortable? We need to make sure people have a good experience, because they have a long memory for bad experiences.

			Still haven't gotten the paperwork sorted for the SEM. I know I'm dropping the ball here, I'll get it worked out by tax time or you can fire me.

			There are two major upcoming events.

			Making Games with Stencyl is this Saturday.
			http://www.meetup.com/hac-dc/events/197976622/
			I've convinced my friend Alex to come in and teach a one-day class on indie game development.

			The annual HacDC Cryptoparty is September 20th.
			http://www.meetup.com/hac-dc/events/187948232/
			There is a lot of prep and planning to do between now and then. We're hoping to make this year bigger and better than the previous two. We're still looking for speakers, so please sign up to give a talk. Even if you don't think you're an expert, you can probably teach somebody something useful.

			If anyone could stay after the meeting to help me load junk into my car I will take another load to the dump.

			Not much news in terms of recent development. We have radios installed on the roof. Frank Sanborn (FEMA) is adapting ByzPi for use monitoring mudslides. Had some useful discussions with ISC at HOPE, they liked our performance on the grant, they're going to get us feedback from users in crisis zones (like Ukraine and Syria). Lots of plans on paper, but the team is still distracted with other responsibilities.
