Fund Raising workshops also likely in the fall.  3 other hspaces  may also be coming up to do similar outside funding sources as us and  the possible EECE.
 +    * Stone contest:  Adric gave a recap, details here: [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DznEx1O1aFwKOCf8J0dsWNuB_kCTVygPn4JUlR6PxQk/edit|Stone contest google doc]]

 +
 +        * need to know amounts
 +        * Is it ok with SF,  10% to sf? (James says it may be negotiable, but details are needed)

 +        * Grant kits are in the works?(James)
 +      * Charel will make a list of volunteers needed.
 +    * Lab Store/Canteen,  no  major progress,  vending machine, looks like some sort of DIY kit, may  be the trick.  intrum and lower cost parts.  might be drawers.   more to  be debated.
 +    * Space planning: its working,  still needs more volunteers, for kitchen and carpeted room  (Geoff takes computer room)
 +      * Need to plan the next yardsale
 +      * We may need some signage, e.g, no unsupervised children,  if you use a dish, wash two, etc.
 +    * Linux Night/Game Night:   game night was good, need to pass the hat more, need to do it regularly;  linux night: success!  good turnout, picked up 2 new members, more  passing the hats?
 +    * March of the Robots Recap,  Ray and Alfred got 3d prints!!!
 +      * Adric: thanks to everyone for their hard work,  despite the last moment cancellation of craig it went really well,
 +      * Arron: a little worried about the pressure of teaching, but we have some support.
 +      * Charel: it went really well, but we need a bit of signage. She  has a printer that can print poster-sized pages.  Getting more  directions and signs up.
 +      * Not getting through very well the intent of the night and to be  part of the hackerspace.  Also when the membership was handed out it  was not well described.
 +      * Perhaps some gift cards/ more memberships, (perhaps limited membership as to not give out keys)
 +      * Questions about what is quelab about.
