	We aborted the launch of Spaceblimp 7 during the solar eclipse. Long story short we were not ready and driving 8 hours down to the SC border on a weekday was a high bar for a group of volunteers. We should do Spaceblimp 7 more locally just as Spaceblimp 6 and take our time testing things and making an interesting payload. I now have a cylinder of Helium at home that we're paying $0.20/day to rent, so we're actively losing money not doing anything. But the tracker(s) are still broken or untested, for example. Contact spaceblimp@hacdc.org for more information.		We aborted the launch of Spaceblimp 7 during the solar eclipse.

Nancy suggested to have other maker spaces to collaborate in the next Spaceblimp 7, she will be helping with the logistics.

	* Enrique. We had a nice lockpicking class Saturday with TOOOL. About 20 guests came and a half dozen or so got a tour of the classroom. A few even got a tour of the basement, unfortunately. TOOOL-DC is interested in having a monthly-ish 'advanced' lockpicking class but they want it a bit more private than their usual events (eg fewer newbs).		* Enrique.

	* Enrique. We received the SparkFun parts. A solar panel, USB battery pack, solar-battery charger, two other LiPo battery chargers, 2 motion sensors, 3 temperature sensors, breadboards, and 3 mini-HDMI cables( for Pi Zeros). Sparkfun wants photos of using them duing an event for their marketing purpose quid-pro-quo.		* Enrique. We received the SparkFun parts.

	* '''Kevin''': Also, as a result of the conference -- ''see directors reports'', students that I mentor at the Arlington Career Center may be part of a team restoring the original KITT from the horrible "Knight Rider" television series, for the next Escape Velocity. The owner of the Season 1 & 2 car is interested in bringing it back to life. The ACC has a an auto repair shop, and two years ago, together with computer science students, we had 3D printed parts and a touch screen Raspberry Pi capable of rudimentary voice recognition ("Hey STACi, turn on the rear defroster.") I don't think the Pi made it into STACi before the end of the semester, but with MoSF offering to help with stuff, I expect there will be a bigger push towards a finished product. I don't know that there will be opportunity for HacDC in that project, but if there's interest and commitment, I'll see what I can do. This would almost certainly be weekday after-school stuff, not weekends.		* '''Kevin''': Also, as a result of the conference -- ''see directors reports below'', students that I mentor at the Arlington Career Center may be part of a team restoring the original KITT from the horrible "Knight Rider" television series, for the next Escape Velocity.

			* We could rent a storage unit to help clean up the basement. It could cost up to $300/mo depending on size and distance from HacDC (maybe $100 far away). We could then decide what stuff we use frequently and what stuff we clearly live without.
