Old business:

Rick will reach out to Taper about the Vinyl cutter

Bob saw Taper poking at the vinyl cutter last tuesday night. CJ: He got it working, one of the problems for Macs is that the software is expensive. What about Inkscape?

He did and Bob signed the lease and sent it in. Bob requested a copy of the lease (countersigned) for our records.

No update

New business:

We need to engage eugenespacemakers.

Darrell went to their first meeting and suggested we go to their next one. Ben asked if we should approach them with a merger proposal. Darrell described what some of their interests are but noted that they did not have any space or equipment. Bob questioned their financials and Darrell spoke to the subject of grant potential.

Bob expressed a sentiment that we may not have met our potential and wonders if we should seriously pursue merger.   Ben described the ground-effect problem (put here) and asked if it was too late to do something big. Bob doesn't know that we have what it takes to get that impulse out of ground effect. Zach would like to get word back from the EMS. Bob read his mail and replied to Zach re: possibility of joining. Zach requested we write back.

ACTION: Bob will send a message on behalf of board requesting to attend their next meeting.
