20:07 | Nachimir | Board members: Dominic (Remote) Matt Little, Matt Lloyd, David H, James H, Michael E, members: Andrew A, Kate B, Daniel, Jake H. |
20:07 | Nachimir | 2. Actions update: |
20:07 | Nachimir | (Marcus not present) |
20:07 | Nachimir | James and Dominic: Not sorted constitutional proposal for potential banning of members yet. |
20:08 | Nachimir | Marcus: Pledge for welding mask - done. |
20:08 | Nachimir | Spray booth: Tony has moved away, max not present. |
20:08 | Nachimir | Historical minutes: Sent to James, to be posted on wiki. |
20:08 | Nachimir | Test files on Risograph: Not done yet. |
20:08 | Nachimir | Pat: Proposal for area in which projects can be left for a few days: Not come back on it yet. |
20:09 | Nachimir | Kate asks: What about event stuff? Why isn't that on there? (Loads has been done on that, by Kate) |
20:09 | Geeks_iPad left the chat room. (Quit: Geeks_iPad) | |
20:10 | Nachimir | Item number something: Mini maker faire, events. |
20:10 | Nachimir | Kate has filled out forms, etc. for us. Proposes that anything people bring to the maker faire, we ask "Can we take this for Derby MMF" |
20:11 | Nachimir | James asks Dominic if there will be a soldering table, that we run. Dominic: Will have a better idea after next Friday. Question of funding at the moment. |
20:11 | Nachimir | James says: Would be a good idea to run that, right next to Nottinghack stall. |
20:12 | Nachimir | Matt: We have about 120 badge clips, but only 50 with clips. |
20:13 | Nachimir | We either need to get a whole load more done, or ask Beta Layouts again. |
20:14 | Nachimir | Matt says he could make them cheaper. Current battery clip is 37p, could find a much cheaper one. |
20:15 | Nachimir | Dominic asks: Matt, is he proposing that we go back and ask Beta Layouts and ask for more sponsored ones? Otherwise, quite expensive. Badge boards are about €1 each |
20:15 | Nachimir | (Correction) Matt Little: Yes, ask them to support us again. Otherwise, quite expensive. Badge boards are about €1 each |
20:16 | ChickenGrylls | action for me |
20:17 | Nachimir | Dominic has been in touch with Beta, thinks we're in a good position to ask. |
20:17 | Nachimir | Matt Little would like to redesign. Also, £30 for battery clips for old ones we have left. |
20:17 | Nachimir | All in favour. |
20:17 | ChickenGrylls | Aye |
20:17 | Nachimir | Matt Lloyd: Would like to send £30ish on relays for the lighting automation project. |
20:18 | Nachimir | James: Will attempt to create a demo to take to Maker Faire, but will see how it goes. |
20:18 | Nachimir | All in favour of relays? (All in favour so far) |
20:19 | ChickenGrylls | What is the date/ |
20:19 | Nachimir | Matt Lloyd: Maker Faire Manchester. Are we going? |
20:19 | Nachimir | Kate: Can arrange things, can't go. |
20:19 | Nachimir | Dominic: Might be quite a good trip. Can visit museum, hacklab, etc. |
20:19 | Nachimir | James: It's a really good museum. |
20:20 | Nachimir | Kate: Action, to find out what we can do at Manchester mini maker faire. |
20:20 | Nachimir | Dominic: Doesn't cost for makers, only really if you're a commercial business. |
20:20 | ChickenGrylls | I wouldn't mention selling stuff at Manchester |
20:21 | ChickenGrylls | ..yet |
20:22 | Nachimir | James: We'll look into crashing at Hacman, or hostel, etc. |
20:22 | ChickenGrylls | Backpackers would be good again |
20:22 | Nachimir | Was about £18 each for hostel in Newcastle. |
20:22 | Nachimir | David Clarke asked James to bring up Hack the Space, which he's been doing on Tuesday nights. |
20:23 | Nachimir | He's put a list on the wiki, thinks it would be good to get done before the open day, but would like help. |
20:24 | Nachimir | Nottinghack stall: Kate says "I'll fucking do it". David H to help. |
20:25 | Nachimir | Kate, events: |
20:25 | Nachimir | Three we can definitely do. Green festival, 10th June, £10. |
20:25 | Nachimir | Matt Little: Will be there. |
20:25 | ChickenGrylls | Ok Kate |
20:25 | Nachimir | Dominic: Want instructions on how to do pinhole cameras. |
20:26 | ChickenGrylls | Yes no problem |
20:26 | ChickenGrylls | we need to try and see if the one at the Windmill worked |
20:26 | Nachimir | Snienton Market: 30th of June, very local, £15. |
20:26 | Nachimir | Awaiting paperwork. |
20:26 | ChickenGrylls | and also the ones from Derby Makers |
20:26 | Nachimir | I hope you're not talking to me Dominic, because I'm busy taking minutes |
20:27 | ChickenGrylls | Just getting comments in the minutes |
20:27 | Nachimir | Riverside Festival, £162. 3 - 5th of August. |
20:27 | Nachimir | Matt Little: First two, definitely. Riverside, probably not as useful to us. |
20:28 | Nachimir | Not quite the right fit for Nottingham Hackspace |
20:28 | Nachimir | (Dominic's battery is running low) |
20:28 | Nachimir | Dominic: Agree, we should find more niche events. |
20:29 | Nachimir | James: Are you allowed to just rock up and sell stuff? Matt Little: No, definitely not. |
20:29 | Nachimir | James: We got £280 from the Wollaton Hall event. Matt Little: But that was a science festival. |
20:29 | Nachimir | James: We could sell a shed load of EL wire. |
20:30 | Nachimir | Michael E: We'd be competing with the people selling cheap light up toys. |
20:30 | Nachimir | Dominic: Matt Little is right about the commitment required for it. I don't think we'd get enough enthusiasm from members to sustain for three days. |
20:31 | Nachimir | James: So vote yes to Green Festival and Snienton Market, but no to Riverside? Ayes from all. |
20:31 | Nachimir | Kate: Summer is pretty intensive as is (Lists events, inc. maker faire, open day). Michael: We should have a long break weekend, where we all do star jumps for 24 hours. |
20:33 | ChickenGrylls | Empower the membership |
20:34 | Nachimir | Jake: Need to get confirmed people coming along. |
20:34 | Nachimir | Not maybes. |
20:34 | Nachimir | A.O.B |
20:35 | Nachimir | Matt Little: Battery clips: Cost would be £38.40 from Rapid. (No objections). |
20:35 | Nachimir | Money already spent on those parts: £43.16p. Also sent a bat detector kit to Hitchen Hackspace, owed £17. (No objections) |
20:37 | Nachimir | Other thing: Buying Drawdio kits from Brighton Hackspace. Will do them for £5, we can sell for about 10. Matt asked for 25 or 50. He probably would do it. Packed in 12s. |
20:37 | Nachimir | Dominic: Ask for 30 days terms? |
20:37 | Nachimir | James: 24 on 30 days terms? £120ish. |
20:38 | Nachimir | Matt Lloyd: Brighton are at Derby Makers, so will be selling them themselves. |
20:38 | ChickenGrylls | 24 kits |
20:38 | ChickenGrylls | We also have POV kits to sell |
20:39 | Nachimir | David H: Plenty of other kits were being made in the soldering area at the Maker Faire. |
20:39 | Nachimir | Dominic: No agreement yet on where kits are sold. |
20:39 | Nachimir | at DMMF |
20:39 | Nachimir | On balance: People think to not bother with Drawdio kits until we have the spare cash. |
20:40 | Nachimir | ChickenGrylls, we've lost you on Skype. |
20:41 | Nachimir | (Dominic returns. Ish) |
20:41 | Nachimir | AOB from Dominic: Still haven't heard back from Bizspace regarding rent. Was assured yesterday he'd hear today, chased up both days. Not heard yet. |
20:41 | Nachimir | Rent due three days ago. Think we should pay it immediately. |
20:42 | Nachimir | Matt and James: We should negotiate the new contract first. |
20:43 | Nachimir | Matt: Bill was for May, electricity falls in last year. |
20:44 | Nachimir | Dominic: Going to get in touch and escalate. |
20:44 | Nachimir | Other AOB from Dominic: Keen to invite other hackspaces to visit Nottinghack during DMMF. |
20:45 | Nachimir | Dominic thinking to invite them over on the Friday evening, before the makers day. |
20:45 | Nachimir | Kate: Friday pre-party, essentially. |
20:46 | Nachimir | Matt: Only if it doesn't take away from the things we're organising at DMMF. |
20:47 | Nachimir | Jake: Unless we get an abundance of people volunteering, I think a no. |
20:47 | Nachimir | Dominic: I think we can trust some of them with door codes, etc. |
20:48 | Nachimir | Overall, a yes to them visiting the hackspace. |
20:49 | Nachimir | More AOB from Matt Little: Board Elections. |
20:49 | Nachimir | James: Dominic and he need to sort out constitution. |
20:49 | Nachimir | Dominic: Need to set a date. |
20:50 | Nachimir | James: Between the open day and the party, because more members will be around. |
20:50 | Nachimir | plus voting by email. |
20:50 | Nachimir | Unanimously in favour. |
20:50 | Nachimir | Final item: Financial update |
20:51 | Nachimir | Matt Lloyd: Depends on how next year's contract shakes out and how membership grows. |
20:51 | Nachimir | If nothing changes, we'll last until September. |
20:53 | Nachimir | New members in last month: 7 new, 2, possibly 3 ceased. Average membership has gone up slightly. |
20:54 | Nachimir | Suggest we set up an overdraft in the next month and a half, just in case. Memberships in and bill out are out of sync slightly. |
20:54 | Nachimir | James: Could we get a grant from anywhere. |
20:54 | Nachimir | Dominic: Not the moment to solve the problem, lets just get the facts. |
20:55 | Nachimir | Matt Little: Need to get rental agreement sorted. James: Could we get Matt access to the bank account? Dominic: His action to do that, and get overdraft. |
20:55 | Nachimir | Matt Ll: £500 - £1000 would give us enough leeway to make sure we're covering any gaps in timing on fees in and bills out. |
20:55 | Nachimir | Ended April with £2581 in the bank. |
20:57 | Nachimir | Made a profit. |
20:57 | Nachimir | James: DMMF is one of the biggest recruitment events we could possibly have. |
20:58 | Nachimir | Not conflict between us and Derby Makers: It's an offshoot of Nottinghack, and we have different offers. |
20:58 | Nachimir | James: Don't want us to be putting down Derby Makers at DMMF. We need people on stand to be clear on that. |
20:59 | Nachimir | ( Chickengrylls, the battery has run out on the iPad. Matt Lloyd is getting his out) |
20:59 | ChickenGrylls | No worries |
21:01 | Nachimir | James: AOAOB? Everyone: No. |
21:01 | Nachimir | Meeting over! |
