Notes

Purchases to note:

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.

Altered web forms a little to add supplier suggestions option
Russell has offered to help volunteer
Debit card - Waiting for Snackspace to get one then we can.
- Can store in a keysafe something like this (fit a credit card at least): http://www.amazon.co.uk/Combination-Key-Safe-Waterproof-Cover/dp/B004C29BUC
Makro card - Nottinghack Hackspace has one

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

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.
