## Director Reports
|
||
|
||
### 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.`
|
||
|
||
#### Kevin
|
||
|
||
For the most part, my year has consisted of trying to network HacDC with
|
||
other groups and represent HacDC at events. To that end, I:
|
||
|
||
- offered 3D printing services, along with Julia, at the two-day
|
||
Smithsonian Institute's [Earth Optimism
|
||
Summit](https://earthoptimism.si.edu/2017/) ["Make for the
|
||
Planet"](https://earthoptimism.si.edu/calendar/2017/events/make-planet-pitches/)
|
||
hack-a-thon
|
||
- represented HacDC for the [Community Makerspace
|
||
Day](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-makerspace-day-tickets-39168856103#)
|
||
event at Mary McLeod Bethune Day Academy PCS
|
||
- supported Ken's [Neighborhood Opportunity
|
||
Centers](DC_Community_Hackerspaces "wikilink") (NOCs) proposals by:
|
||
- participating in two meetings with DC government officials and
|
||
Nation of Makers executive director
|
||
- arranged a meeting between HacDC and the New America Foundation's
|
||
Open Source Institute
|
||
- established a wiki page for collecting, coalating and coordinating
|
||
potential NOC resources
|
||
|
||
In lesser news, I've been:
|
||
|
||
- recreating a passport stamp
|
||
- working on a brief [OpenSCAD rotate_extrude tutorial
|
||
video](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CINyLSA3x984h7JMWaxRRfdgh0C0v81g/view)
|
||
- futzing around with the teleconferencing system, and continue
|
||
attempting to document progress on the wiki (See [La
|
||
Fonera](La_Fonera "wikilink") and [OBi110 VoIP
|
||
setup](OBi110_VoIP_setup "wikilink").)
|
||
- doing this, that and the other thing
|
||
- occasionally restocking the fridge
|
||
- kept the tunes going a la [Radio

## [Project Awesome](:Category:Project_Awesome "wikilink") Reports
|
||
|
||
### 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).

## Audit Committee Report
|
||
|
||
Nobody bothered to form a committee so there's no report.
|
||
|
||
## Member Reports
|
||
|
||
Enrique - This year I hosted events on Lockpicking (TOOOL came),
|
||
Software Defined Radio, Cryptocurrencies and the Metasploit Workshop put
|
||
on by Beltway Hackers. Also lots of Spaceblimp meetings, especially
|
||
lately. Spaceblimp 7 was postponed from the Eclipse date to early 2018
|
||
and just postponed again due to weather but we're ready to go very soon.
|
||
|
||
