Agenda for the 2015 Annual Meeting which will be held on January 25th from 9am to 1pm.

Treasurers report, how are we doing financially?
Come up with a plan for keeping the front area clean - first thing new people see when they step in the front door
- perhaps set up a system where items that have been sitting forever can be given 'expiration dates' (stickers in an easy to find area aka front desk/3wk-2wk-1wk-toss it system)
- whatever we do, don't leave all incoming ~~junk~~ stuff in the welcome area!
- also keep the front desk clean!
~~Organize scrap pile in workshop~~, come up with plan to help keep this more organized in the future
Member project storage shelving & totes - will help keep the boneyard separated from members projects so less confusion over what is hackable junk
Dust collector - either purchase one or build one, we need to make it easier to contain wood dust
Plastic sheets for metal working equipment to keep wood dust off (lathes, mill, welding equipment)
Buildout of more walls in office area?
Makevention 2015 - who's leading that?
501c3 status?
Security cameras?
Formally move member emergency contact forms from workshop to green cabinet in office near front door
Mount antenna mast on corner of our building - for ham antenna, and Harpo's mesh network project

Air Conditioning
- What would satisfy our needs? What do we need to buy? Identify cost
- Start fundraiser for AC for this spring

I'd like to discuss moving the current members list to be a public discuss list and setup a new members mailing list for private-only discussions
- There are several reasons for this. First, everyone is afraid to use the public announce list as a discuss list (because it's an announce list after all). Next, when someone stops being a formal member, removing them from the members removes their access to their community which is not intended. Third, it prevents outsiders from getting a better view of our group. I really enjoy seeing the goings on at LVL1 and other spaces because they have a public discuss list. Lastly, only our new-member process requires privacy, so a private list is still needed, hence a "new" members-only list. Thanks - dosman
