== Tabled Items from 06/15/2017 [[Bo D]] Meeting ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rick Dancer. This item was proposed by Ben who is no longer with us. There was no discussion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;NOTE: At this point the discussion was supposed to move on to the Steam Camp. Crystal Hall from Looking Glass Center Point School was introduced and...read on&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Workshops for Looking Glass Center Point School ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crystal Hall from Looking Glass Center Point School introduced herself and the school and who it represents. They are an all year school for 12-17 y.o. at risk many with autism. Her idea is to have as part of their curriculum a hands-on field trip to the Maker Space one day a week during the summer. It would be roughly be 6-7 youth/3 staff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif invited to sign up for STEAM camp. She politely refused as it was during their school day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tanda asked about minor waiver and how that would be handled. They would have parent authorization at school.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dean said early Aug he could work on a class.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ACTION ITEM: To work on a glider class and get back in touch with Crystal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She mentioned that the school had a small budget for materials.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We thanked her for her time and will remain in contact with her about working together in the future.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Crystal left at 6:35 pm.&lt;br /&gt;
== STEAM Camp ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erin M. reported that we had 4 children signed up all believed to be girls (yay!). The time for camp is 9:00 - 10:45a Morning session, 10:45- 11:15a Snack, 11:15 - 1:00p Afternoon session. Miles is set-up to instruct the first half of the day and then they would have snack. After that we need a EMS volunteer to present a class/talk/demo for about 45 minutes Mon-Thur. She already had Dean for Gliders and Ben for Laser/Fidget Spinners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dean said he could commit to Wednesday. Lesson on airplane design and gliders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif presented that he could take some flyers for the camp to be put up at different OCF community locations and at the Doors booth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ACTION ITEM: Clif to coordinate with Erin to get 20 STEAM camp flyers to post at the OCF.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erin also said they are in need of volunteers at the Lane Co. Fair. STEM in the auditorium. Contact her to get a day pass or if you want to present and idea to youth at the fair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Erin left at 6:58p&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;OFF TOPIC&amp;amp;gt; Dean get a small update on what he has heard as to the progress of the [[Info Hub]] at the downtown LCC building. Clif also shared a comment. Basically politics and very little movement forward.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;NOTE: Again things happen as they do. Our potential donation at 7p has shown up. We move his item up.&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== New Business: Donation at 7p ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reed Lucas had messaged us on Facebook. Rick Osgood had emailed the board to see what we should do about his want to donate items to the shop. There were some discussion and I invited him to the ending of the normal board meeting time to explain what he was looking for from us and what he was potentially donating.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr Lucas had inherited these tools from a relative and that he was looking to store them for use at the shop in exchange for free membership. Upon much discussion and a bit of initial confussion the board agreed informally to not accept the condition of his offer. He stated that all the tools were for sale and in his trailer if anyone wanted to view.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;NOTE: Half the group got up to go outside and order to the meeting was called. We still have business to attend to.&amp;amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tanda asked for the Old Business: Donation Policy and the New Business: New member Info Sheet be Tabled for sake of time and the fact that I did not get the printed materials prepared in time. The group agreed to table these two items.&lt;br /&gt;
== Donation Policy ==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On Wednesday June 28th, 2017 Ben Hallert wrote and email to the board email list tendering his resignation from the board.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Motion was made by Clif and seconded by Dean to accept the resignation of Ben Hallert from the Board of Directors and to thank him immensely for his service and countless hours of dedication to the success of EMS and that his continued sage advice is always welcome. The '''Motion carried''' with unanimous approval.&lt;br /&gt;

== Action Item Review from 06/01/2017 BoD Meeting ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Clif: Gave updated report of the itemized list/documentation and said he should have it done sooner than he thought. He also contacted Marcel about the Laser Master. Marcel approved any potential modifications needed to get the machine up and functioning.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tanda: Contacted NAO and signed EMS up. Because of difficulties on their end we were compensated the year membership fee. Also investigated getting consulting for board reorganization. Cost would be prohibitive at $150 an hour with an average of 10-12 hours.&lt;br /&gt;
** ACTION ITEM: Send the board the email from NAO on other resources&lt;br /&gt;
* Jher: Cross posted Jeffries Save The Bees blogpost to the Wordpress and RSS feed.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ben: Forgot to cross-post Save the Bees article to the Facebook group. He is following up with Jim to iron out the details of the Volunteer Coordinator position. He needs a list of items from the donation of items (recently) so he can provide a tax donation letter.&lt;br /&gt;
** ACTION ITEM: cross-post Save the Bees article to the Facebook group&lt;br /&gt;

Miles and Erin from Lane STEM Connected Lane Co. came in to talk about the upcoming STEAM camp. They had a grant approved for $1500. They have purchased 10 little bits kits (module synthesizers). The age group will be Middle School 10-14 y.o. We will host the camp in the shop from 9-1p July 24th to 28th. Cost per child $50. What they need is volunteers to help wrangle and provide instruction assistance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ben would like to post the flyer to the website and Facebook. ACTION ITEM: Post flyer to Facebook&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jher will update the RSS feed on the website. ACTION ITEM: Update RSS feed on website&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif asked if we can get money from the grant for hosting. Answer was that there needs to be a paper trail. We were already mentioned in the initial grant proposal.We get to keep the money raised in the cost per child.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dean said it was possible for him to do a class on air gliders. Ben commented that there could be a lazer cutter project and basics on designing fidget spinners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kits showed up in a box Tuesday. does anyone know what they are for or who brought them? ACTION ITEM: Tanda will ask the discuss list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(ADDITION FROM 06/29/17 Meeting: Erin and Miles were invited back the next meeting and Clif hoped that Crystal would also be able to attend.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Dean left at 7:01p'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Motion by Clif and seconded by Ben to move the first business meeting in July (6th) to the last Thursday in June (29th) to accommodate schedules. Unanimous approval.&lt;br /&gt;
== Tech Soup ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Due to some recent issues with some of our infrastructure some of us have been looking into alternate ways to do what need to run major components of the EMS internal information structures (email, discuss list, archives, webistes, etc). Ben has found the site [[Tech Soup]]. He needed the IRS documentation to complete the registration process. He sent an email out to the board on 06/05/17. Brief description is that it is a non profit resource with big companies as donors. They give free and low cost software licenses and offer hardware at extremely discounted prices to non profits. Cost involved to EMS? none so far.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;off topic&amp;amp;gt; Clif addressed Rick Osgood's past comments about having too many outside messages (comment made I think in reference to the Slack software, also from prior discussion?)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;off topic&amp;amp;gt; Jher commented that if we are posting information it should post across all the different forms (email list, facebook, website, etc) at the same time with the same post.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;off topic&amp;amp;gt; Ben explains that Slack could potentially be a useful tool in place of the discussion list/forum and can adapt well to other outside interfaces. Then he reminds us that we are not talking about Slack but about [[Tech Soup]] which is basically a clearing house for donators of &amp;quot;tech&amp;quot; to give to non profits.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;lt;off topic&amp;amp;gt; Discussion then went to the discussion list verses the forum. And Jher showing how to access the discussion archive to get the same information as the forum.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif would like an official decision from the board before Ben moves forward with signing us up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jher would like Ben to make a presentation at the next meeting about the benefits of joining [[Tech Soup]] so that Dean can give input on the idea also.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ben explains that this is his time and effort and he has followed the process as outlined in recent emails. He has sent the idea to the board and didn't hear any feed back. We have been told that if a member wants to take on a project they are to present it to the group and if there is no comments then the member has the ok to move forward with the project (from the fix-it cafe threads). All he needs is for the group to make a decision. If not then he withdraws the recommendation and will not spend any more of his limited time on the project.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was some further discussion from Jher/Ben/Clif on the corporate software in conflict with our open source tenants of the Maker Space and how it might be an &amp;quot;entanglement&amp;quot; if there are EULA and TOS contracts and that Dean should be in on the discussion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ben feels like he is being countered by Clif and asks to remove the topic from discussion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Discussion then shifts to difference between [[Tech Coup]] and Slack and gets off topic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ben again asks to withdraw the topic from discussion and then leaves at 8:04p&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because Ben left at 8:04p we no longer had a quorum. All further items were tabled and we adjourned.&lt;br /&gt;

=== &amp;lt;a name=&amp;quot;Champion (President)&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;Champion (President) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif followed up with Diane about the upcoming space(s) availability. We are still first on the list for the corner location. She is waiting for Keys and then we can do a walk trough. She is still hopeful for the 23rd.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has put in a word about the board wanting to do a tour of the Innovation District. They will let us know when the next one will be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has a list of some online accounts and their passwords. Expressed frustration at the fact that there are accounts out there with the EMS name and they are not being monitored. To be addressed later.&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;a name=&amp;quot;Treasurer&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;Treasurer ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Darrell submitted a partial treasurer's report to Clif. He reported that our finances and membership numbers are about the same as usual. As soon as Dean is on the signer list he will had it over to him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(Part 2) Dean has compiled a list all equipment in the EMS space for the end of 2016. There are 46 pieces of equipment with no tags (considered EMS owned) and 5 with ownership tags.&lt;br /&gt;
=== &amp;lt;a name=&amp;quot;Secretary&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;Secretary ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Report on Fix-It Cafes and partnership with the city. Talked to Stephanie Scafa at the City of Eugene Waste Prevention. She is really excited for us to potentially partner with them to host at least one of the Fix-It Cafes this next year. They plan on having 3-4 events Summer-Fall 2017. They are just finishing the initial investigation and are transitioning into creating a model and brand for these events. They will get in contact with us in two to three weeks to schedule a walk through.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other Officers Reports: Clif reminded the group that there are still two unfilled volunteer positions. Marketing Director and Resource Manager.&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;a name=&amp;quot;Minor Waiver&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;Minor Waiver ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif explains that we currently do not have a copy of the minor release waiver. We have had several parents that would like to have their children use the space. Clif had asked Tanda to search the records. Tanda reported that the minutes showed Rick was the last one to have a copy. Tanda asked Rick if he still had a copy of the minor waiver. He sent the last version he had. Thank you Rick! Clif will look into having that available for those who need it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dean suggested looking at the one the Science Factory uses and mimic it. The group discussed other groups with minor waivers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ACTION ITEM: Clif will get a hold of Nick Spicer at the Science Factory to get a copy of their waiver. Tanda to send Clif a copy of existing Minor Waiver.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Off topic: Grants in the list Dean sent were primarily towards youth activities. Dean asked for other keywords to enter into the search engine. Different words were suggested. Dean will keep searching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Off topic: Jher made a note that &amp;quot;Maker Space&amp;quot; usually comes up as one word &amp;quot;Makerspace&amp;quot; and for best practices it would be wise to use it to keep with the current nomenclature. Clif expressed concern of changing it in all the governing documents. Jher explained it would only be in the PR side of the group. This would include things like the website, social media, events, etc. Jher explained the new branding logo design. Tree is Eugene, Gear is Maker, and the Cube is Space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ACTION ITEM: Clif is going to create [[Word Press]] account for Jher. Jher is going to update the website.&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;a name=&amp;quot;Discussion on several ways to contact us that are not monitored&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Discussion on several ways to contact us that are not monitored ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif would like to create a list of all the ways that people can contact us. There are contacts that are not being monitored (like the Google+ phone number).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ACTION ITEM: (Group effort) To create a master list of all the different ways to contact Eugene Makerspace. (Including but not limited to: website, google+, facebook, twitter, email, etc)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ben suggested that we set each up to point to other ways to contact us. For example have the Google+ Phone tell people that we are not in the space very often, to leave a message and to reach us quicker try this email or finding us on facebook, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif expressed concern about us having all these accounts that aren't monitored and missing out on members and possible donations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ben moves that we table the discussion on what accounts we have and where are they and how do we monitor them to another meeting once the information has been gathered. Tanda seconded. Passed with unanimous approval.&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;a name=&amp;quot; Discussion on reasons why people don't come back&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Discussion on reasons why people don't come back ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif said he has heard many reasons why people do not come back. It's dark, Closed, Cramped. He tries to respond to visitors as welcoming.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dean has also heard the same reasons. People want to feel secure. Also need to have a good 1st impression. Designated greater at Open Hack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tanda expressed having a designated person to be there to open up and do &amp;quot;tours&amp;quot; at Open Hack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jher suggested maybe an intern to do the point person at Open Hack.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suggested to post any further discussion on the board list and to be proactive in seeking ways to counter these impressions.&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;a name=&amp;quot;Policy on accepting donations&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Policy on accepting donations ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif explains the current process as being organic. We hear through the grape-vine that certain machines like the laser cutter are good machines for a makerspace to have because the get alot of use and others like the vacumm former don't get as much use but are unique and cool to have. There is the question of rotating tooling out of the shop when it is not getting as much use. Should we have a poll for accepting stuff. Probably, but sometimes there is a time element. We are part of a makerspace collective with two other spaces. So why not accept equipment and loan it to one of these other spaces that have more room and people to use it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dean would like to see a little placard on this machine belongs to ''_'' and is on loan. This is how you use it. Etc. Then people aren't standing there going &amp;quot;What is it? How do I use it?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tanda Suggested having a short intro video on a youtube channel with links in an on-site accessed wiki on each machine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dean had to depart and said he's all for an open house after we move next door. That he's on board to move and super excited. He knows a number of families that want to bring their kids to workshops and they can't at the campus space. He feels that reaching out to this group is important. A family night. -Dean left at 6:45p&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jher asked if we had a Patreon(.com) account? It is a place that artists and groups can accept donations. People just give money for no reason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ACTION ITEM: Ben will investigate the details of getting one set up and will report back.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ben also suggested that we hold off on accepting large donations until we are settled into the new location for a while.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jher was in agreement. It is better to set up the new space to have more use-within-use than to have a bunch of tools that are crowded and hard to use. We should come up with a map or layout that describes the space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif voiced that it is hard to tell people &amp;quot;can you hold off on donating that today, but we might want it in the future?&amp;quot; so he accepted a donation and has loaned it to the art barn because Tanda didn't want it. Ben butted in and told him that was highly antagonistic. Jher stated that he would like to see us be as professional as possible and to act like an executive board. Clif tried to rephrase and Jher stopped him. This is not how the board should act. Everyone should have equal say and not be over ridden by someone else or be antagonistic towards others. We are here to work together for the good of the group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Communication via email should be concise and to the point. If possible truncate the message to include the last reply not the whole thread. It is better to have one longer email than 10 short one liners. Maybe we need to have two lists one of board chatter and one for action items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif went back to donations and stuff going to the Art Barn because we don't have space.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tanda voiced that there seems to be a &amp;quot;split&amp;quot; in stuff going out to the art barn. There isn't a lot of say in what is being accepted and then stored offsite. It isn't a good community relation to accept a donation and then not use it or store it here, instead it is at a location called an Art Barn where not a lot of people know about it and cant get to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ben asks if there is a way to get a flyer about them and get the word out about others spaces in the community.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jher brought up the point of tax issues on donations.&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;a name=&amp;quot;Spring Open House&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Spring Open House ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clif wanted to discuss the idea of planting the seed of and Open House shortly after we get set up in the possible new space. Usually takes 6 weeks to get organized. There was consensus to wait and bring up in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;a name=&amp;quot;Survey Results&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Survey Results ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tanda explained the survey results [http://forum.eugenemakerspace.com/index.php?t=msg&amp;amp;th=4779&amp;amp;start=0&amp;amp;%20 found in the discuss list here]  They were overwhelmingly favorable. Discussed the voices of dissent and points were valid.&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;a name=&amp;quot;Decision on potential move&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Decision on potential move ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ben made the motion and Tanda seconded to authorize Clif to sign the lease after a walk through w/ a consensus from the board. Passed with unanimous approval.&lt;br /&gt;
== &amp;lt;a name=&amp;quot;Action_Items:&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; Action Items: ==&lt;br /&gt;
