	Let's put up an RFID door entry system ASAP. Would be in favor of any expenditure, despite our limited finances, to get this done immediately, not hopefully in six months. ~~Would also~~ be ~~in favor of cameras recording still~~ 'before/after' photos, ~~just to give us some idea who is responsible for messing things up.

As in, paying someone to just get it done would be fine.

			In the meantime, unless there are strong objections, I would like to install a few webcam enabled WYSE terminals to take photos when the ambient light changes suddenly (ie. lights on/off). This would record 'before/after' photos, nothing more.

	Have heard about various successes contacting the Fire Station wireless accesspoint. Let's make it a top priority to deploy something like [http://www.ubnt.com/airfiber/airfiber24/ Ubiquity 24GHz backhaul] units at both ends ASAP. Their 900mHz [http://www.ubnt.com/airmax/rocketm/ basestation] and [http://www.ubnt.com/airmax/airmax-yagi-antenna/ highly directional antennas] may also be able to cut through the clutter at 150MBits. We could really use extra credit from our host.		Have heard about various successes contacting the Fire Station wireless accesspoint.

	HacDC's servers are still not available for regular use by members. ~~Even without an excellent internet connection, this might attract more interest. We should label some machines, claim them~~, ~~and compete to make them operational quickly~~.		HacDC's servers are still not available for regular use by members. Planning to deploy Debian Stable within the next couple weeks, borrowing a suitable machine tonight.

	Much of our equipment is functional, but not accessible. This includes printers, the plotter, scanners, and more. Clearing shelves and floor space will create opportunities to deploy these tools, giving members more opportunities to accomplish projects.		Much of our equipment is functional, but not accessible.

			Tokutek approached the BoD about using the space for a meetup and I volunteered to coordinate with them. The event was planned for 10/13, but was canceled and I'm now working with them to figure out new dates during the week of 12/15. They'd love for the membership to come out and hear their tech talk, and there will be beer and pizza for everyone in attendance.

			We should also receive (hopefully soon?) 5 new Intel Edison development kits that Intel is donating to the space. These are dual-core Atom processors with an integrated MCU. Watch the blabber list for announcement of their arrival.
