	Honestly, the extent of such negativity at HacDC has exceeded my worst imagination, crushing hopes for the future. If not now, when will HacDC ever take appropriate steps to limit damage that can be done by people who don't know and don't care? This is why we can't have nice things.

	Really, the key problem is that the shop areas have been a free-for-all. Too little decision-making or policing authority is given to those who have actually built them up. Consequently, too much is wasted arguing over how shop areas should be repurposed, trying to satisfy competing interests, or repairing damage caused by reckless endangerment. As a specific example, access to the shop areas should involve some kind of vetting procedure that ~~keeps mental patients out~~ to ~~begin~~ with, and ~~removes them~~ quickly ~~when discovered~~.

	Would appreciate seeing HacDC willing to trust and back its volunteers after a success like the OpticalTableRobot. If additional safety or convenience features were wanted, encouring feature requests might have been nice to hear. Instead, the response included 'not cool' from some of the more sane, senior members of the community.

	* Enrique: I brought in a brand new ladder for the basement; it was about $94 and I'd like to be reimbursed either by Expansion or by member vote from the general fund. The sharpies are a donation. The first of the Introduction to Linux events had pretty low turnout. The next one is Friday. I'm also facilitating a Kerbal Space Program meetup next week. CryptoParty discussions are starting up again but we don't have a fixed date yet.		* Enrique: I brought in a brand new ladder for the basement; it was about $94 and I'd like to be reimbursed either by Expansion or by member vote from the general fund.

	* mirage335: Finally clearing my schedule. TazMega actually working. On the other hand, time will tell if bringing similar tools or anything else to HacDC is worthwhile.		* mirage335: Finally clearing my schedule. TazMega actually working. On the other hand, time will tell if bringing similar tools or anything else to HacDC is worthwhile. Also, would like to take possession of some linear motion in the basement that has already been mistreted, for future attempts to duplicate the OTR's success elsewhere.
