Present: Andrew, Lionel, Russell.

Notes

Purchases to note:

  • £81.81 on coffee, tea, Tomato ketchup, tablets etc. - Lionel
  • £44.74 on nuts and bolts - Lionel
  • Oxygen tank brought - Russell

Requests processed:

  • Kitchen stuff - purchased, see above. Orange Squash will be got from a supermarket.
  • Ramen Noodles - No, vending machine item, sent on to Snackspace team
  • Arduino sized (6.5mm) DC sockets - no, not a resource item, too specific
  • Micro-USB phone cables (vending machine?) - no, vending machine item at best, passed to Snackspace team
  • Mister Sticky's Liquid Plastic Weld - Russell H - approved by all (once we can find it for sale)
  • Acetone and Isopropanol (IPA) 5 litre bottles approved by Safety Team - Lionel purchased on eBay via. Matt Lloyd.

Discussion on "cost involved" things, eg magnets, wood, plastic:

  • If the items don't naturally appear/donated perhaps we should look at buying them for things
  • Noting the price of the item with donation pots would be a good way to do it - agreed by all of us
  • Electronic parts can be done soon with Matt Little helping provide a list

Physical space and buying quantities:

  • Storage of nuts + bolts currently is a bit small (we have to keep filling up / not best cost).
  • Buying 1 box (to fill/keep filled) out and 1 box in storage (downstairs is likely available to us) ready to be used is likely best
  • Need to figure out the space we might need

Resources that are used for projects (eg: wood, plastic, metal, etc.):

  • "Pay what you can" with a donation box nearby
  • Also could note on things like printers, on electronics bays, etc. - cost of printing, of parts we replace; also so people know how much if they have a large project and want to buy things themselves (or through us?)
  • Create an obvious system for this

Action List

To do:

  • Electronics area stock - Sort with Matt Little - Russell/anyone
  • Check with Dominic if he can still take daytime deliveries. Lionel has said he can take daytime if needed.
  • Sort a rough list + ideas for materials in the space and where to put them - all
  • Ask Daniel if he'll be able to make a set of RFID reading donation boxes - maybe with cash as well - for the "this cost X" labels - Andrew
  • Contact James to get Russell on the resources email forwarder - Andrew

In progress:

  • Sort debit card - Snackspace should have theirs
    • Might be an issue on some sites which require delivery to be same as card billing address. Need to check in the future.
  • Sort second Makro card - general work (David Clarke) - Do after debit card

Longer term actions:

  • Colour coding and spreadsheet for Nuts and Bolts + Screws since there are so many. Colour coded means whiteboard markers/stickers can be used to mark when something is low.
  • Longer lists of items to have as standard. Listing them quickly on the wiki will help.
