	* Tayeb: Successful HacDC Software Defined Radio meetup!

Going to continue on September 23rd, this time by posting ahead of time all of the GNURadio flowgraphs -- re-upped

	* We have not heard anything new from the District Makers, and are not sure if they are still active in any way. There is potential for setting up a shop in the basement in collaboration with them (maybe give them control). Eugene sent email, Tayeb ~~sent back email offering dates for zoom call~~ (~~Tue, Wed, Thur first week of September~~) but heard no response. After calling, we are now planning on meeting with Eugene September 22nd at 6pm -- We met! No areas of overlap for collaboration sadly and we will check back in a while with Eugene		== New Business ==
			* Tayeb: Keep Meetup updated (members meeting)

	* ~~Brian: Looked to fix network issues~~ to ~~allow full remote operation~~ of ~~Ham Radio station. Will~~ need to ~~interface with the IT person from St Stephens~~. ~~Ethan Waldo volunteered~~ to ~~help fix~~ this~~, Don and Mike were able to work~~ to ~~fix this so it should work now~~ -- ~~Internet connection is likely fixed, modifications needed~~ to ~~make it remote operable~~		* Laptop distribution and acquisition to DCPS (could use some of the space in the church for an event if we need) invite people to come to us to donate and help -- possibly install Raspberry Pi OS. Reach out to Mike -- does he know of any organization that we could connect with, who is doing pods? Raspberry Pi 400? Look into this for seeing if possible to acquire -- Action item email for Mike to be written by Tayeb

	* ~~Karen and John to meet and install the new HacDC door lock, and then email the membership with the new information to access the space~~ -~~- Karen replaced the lock!~~		* Tayeb: Adding software synthesizer meetup in mid-December

	* ~~Brian and~~ John: ~~Possibility of charging for remote use~~ of the ~~Ham Radio Station for non~~-~~members. A significant amount of work needed on the roof of HacDC that has a non~~-~~zero cost. To ponder for a month: where~~ should ~~the revenue go? To HacDC directly, the Ham Radio Club (a separate 501c3)~~ or ~~a mixture of both~~?		* John: Time of year to talk to Mike about the future years rent situation -- should we reach out to Mike or wait for him to reach out to us?

	* ~~Kevin~~: ~~Is there a possibility~~ of ~~making the servers available~~ to ~~HacDC members? Tayeb volunteers himself~~ to ~~try initial setup~~ of the ~~servers~~		* Ken: We should capitalize on the outreach efforts we have made -- reach out to Dorothy at the Nation of Makers, Ken to send email to reach out
