#### Project Awesome
|
|
|
|
Here is the Project Awesome spreadsheet for December:
|
|
.
|
|
We continue to have to dip into savings to pay our rent, so no dividend
|
|
this month. :(
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Director-at-Large Reports

|
## [Project Awesome](:Category:Project_Awesome "wikilink") Reports
|
|
|
|
### Project LASER
|
|
|
|
No report. Hand-off required?
|
|
|
|
### Project BYZANTIUM
|
|
|
|
We're re-factoring the project. Slowly because we all have jobs now.
|
|
|
|
### Project KITBUILD
|
|
|
|
Nothing new to report. Still hoping to organize a kit build in concert
|
|
with a Learn to Solder event sometime this spring.
|
|
|
|
### Project SUPPLIES
|
|
|
|
Ordered replacement extruder for Rostock Max. Also ordered 0.35mm nozzle
|
|
for dramatically improved resolution.
|
|
|
|
When finances become less strained, a Rev.7 PCB heater would be a nice
|
|
addition. More even heating across the glass would reduce thermal stress
|
|
and greatly improve adhesion.
|
|
|
|
### Project EXPANSION
|
|
|
|
Still conservative.
|
|
|
|
### Project HAMRADIO
|
|
|
|
Don has installed a 2 element 10m and a 160m dipole antenna. Don fitted
|
|
a narrow (CW) filter in the main HF radio to improve narrow signal
|
|
performance. We have participated in a number of on-air contests and
|
|
contacted more than 100 countries.

#### Lessons from Kamal Jain of Lowell Makes
|
|
|
|
Met Kamal Jain from [Lowell Makes](http://lowellmakes.com/),
|
|
Massachusetts hackerspace last month. Among other things, we discussed
|
|
revenue/sponsor structures. Recently received email detailing these
|
|
opportunities. In particular, we should look into
|
|
[1](https://doublethedonation.com/blog/2014/08/donation-requests/).
|
|
|
|
#### Shimmer
|
|
|
|
HacDC server Shimmer is proving stable. Please contact me by email
|
|
(directly or members@hacdc.org) for an account.
|
|
|
|
#### RFID
|
|
|
|
NetPLC boards and parts are in, so RFID system will be implemented soon.

## Old Business
|
|
|
|
## New Business
|
|
|
|
### Cams
|
|
|
|
Funding and installation of 'lights-on' cameras, and authorize BoD to
|
|
examine other relevant footage (ie. hallway cams) to correlate
|
|
incidents. Members' identities would not be recorded in any way not
|
|
already documented (ie. hallway cam).
|
|
|
|
This proposal is not a plan of action (ie. we may not need to buy cams),
|
|
just a provision for future improvement.
|
|
|
|
Approved the installation of camera. Funding and technical details to be
|
|
revisited.
|
|
|
|
### Dues Structure
|
|
|
|
We may benefit from some sort of multi-level membership structure,
|
|
perhaps particularly to ensure fair compensation for renting the office
|
|
space.
|
|
|
|
Needs to be discussed and revisited in a separate meeting.
|
|
|
|
### Increase Dues by \$10 for one year
|
|
|
|
Approved.
