### President's Report
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
` President is present but incommunicado.`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Vice President's Report
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
` I lost our IT admin contract. Been working on various infrastructure projects like the printer, classroom TV,`
|
|
|
|
|
` basement TV, videoconferencing, etc. Would like to continue my work as VP and help grow and improve our`
|
|
|
|
|
` organization over the next year.`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Treasurer's Report
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
` Did a bunch of legwork and treasurer stuff, helped us be square with the government.`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Secretary's Report
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
` Nic is happy to be a member of HacDC over the past year, has found HacDC to be a valuable community to be a`
|

` member of. Has been Secretary for a few months, but has been away on international travel.`
|

### Director-at-Large Reports
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Matt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
` Project Awesome fund allocations are still necessary but have been under-utilized the past year. USASEF is a big event,`
|
|
|
|
|
` we kind of dropped the ball this year. The next BoD should bear this in mind for future years; and try to stay in touch`
|
|
|
|
|
` with previous BoD members so institutional knowledge is kept.`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
` Treasurer is an important job, hope the next one takes their responsibility seriously. Don't be too hard on folks, but it's`
|
|
|
|
|
` important the Treasurer does reimburse people promptly.`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
` HacDC's BoD needs to take responsibility for members causing problems, and members need to take responsibility for their guests.`
|
|
|
|
|
` Problems need to be addressed promptly.`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

### Project SPACEBLIMP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We postponed our March 3-4 launch due to winds out in Strasburg, despite
|
|
|
|
|
everything being ready to go otherwise. Sad! We're currently deciding on
|
|
|
|
|
a new launch date but the weekends of March 24 and March 31 are likely.
|
|
|
|
|
We've also entered the Global Space Balloon Challenge under the team
|
|
|
|
|
name Hackers SLS (Space Lunch System) and plan to launch another
|
|
|
|
|
Spaceblimp for that competition in later April (not to far away).

Enrique - This year I hosted events on Lockpicking (TOOOL came),
|

Software Defined Radio, Cryptocurrencies and the Metasploit Workshop put
|
|

|
|
|
