Reports

President's report

Open hack nights have been going again and we have open hacks through September 19th on Tuesdays thanks to Sam Foster's generous donation of his time. We received an e-mail from Google telling us that they have added new options for marking transgender safe spaces, LGBTQ+ welcoming places, and gender neutral bathrooms for the map entry. We are compliant so she added those to our record.
