Weekly Workshops – Test period is over. Attendance for Tilver’s class (Pen Testing) was good. Arturo’s class (crypto currency) attendance went up and down. 3D printing class was dropped before end of test period. Scott’s class (SDR) attendance was good as well. MeetUp is effective and we should keep using it. Class/workshop notifications also need to go to the list.

Weather Station – Denhac has a weather station on the roof now. It goes down more than… uh… other things do.

Range Finder – Arturo wants to add range finder to vending machine to keep track of when machines are low. Integrate into Splunk.

Splunk – Arturo working with Digi and Mary on proposal to Splunk for non-profit license rather than the Dev license we’re using now. Electric Consumption Monitor – Arturo wants funds to build electric consumption monitor system for the space to keep track of the power usage in the space which could be helpful to know our liability if we ever need to move.

3D printer –

Grendel – Sean will write the letter TONIGHT. PROMISE.

Laser – Laser task force (Proton, Ulysses, Jimmy) worked on the laser alllllll day during hack denhac to learn how to maintain the laser and get it working. Sean worked with Damon last night to finish up the last bit of work. Its ready for laser task force to align it and get it ready to use.

Network – In progress.

Website – Took down paypal links because it wasn’t clear that giving money did not automatically make someone a member. Will add extra dialog to make it clear or make people click an extra button.

NEW BUSINESS

Security Camera – The only ones we have are in use.

Hack Denhac Budget – Money allocated for HDH is usually consumed by ordering food for participants. Need money for consumable supplies.

BOARD VOTE: Increase HDH budget by 50% ($75) so it can cover food and supplies. Vote: All in favor.

Vending Machine – Vending machine to carry snacks and/or supplies (SD cards, raspi, cat5 or USB cable). Interest seems low because of cost to carry inventory and maintain a machine that’s likely more expensive.

Dumpster – Locking dumpster soon. We are getting a key. It’s going to be placed with our other key.

Radio – uh…..

Grant Writing – Grant writing is hard. We don’t have anyone available to write grants. If you know someone who wants to do that for us, let us know

MANAGER REPORTS

External Business – Digi isn’t here and didn’t provide anyone else with an update to give on his behalf.

Internal Business – Position is still vacant.

OLD BUSINESS

Website – Going to host on AWS for reliability. Keeping it simple. If someone wants to help with web design, please speak up. Website needs an art.

Network – Network still works. P2P traffic blocked.

Access Cards – No change. OMF is still slow to get us cards and won’t get us access to provision our own. >_<

Grendel – Tilver waiting on letter from Digi or Lordspeed.

Artemis – We still own it. Needs work.

Laser – *audible groan from lordspeed* tl;dr Tube never left Shanghai for two weeks and then was sent back sender. Sender is sending it again and we’re getting a discount. Lordspeed will need to write a check to denhac for the difference. Lense, chiller, and power supply are here.

3D Printer Access – raspi camera obtained. Needs to be installed. Server rack has been cleaned to make room for a monitor.

TV – Member had a lead on a TV but didn’t get budget approval on time. Back to the drawing board. Weekly Workshops – Finish details this week. Advertise for the next 3 weeks. Start the first of March.

LinuxCNC Classes – The person who wants to teach the class didn’t come to the board meeting. No new details.

Hack denhac day – It happened. All the floors got mopped and it was gross. We have a donation table by the door. Things that have been left behind have been gathered.

NEW BUSINESS

Signage, Cleaning, Housekeeping – During hack denhac day found that there’s a tendency for people to pile things on flat surfaces. We’re going to put up signs reminding people to clean up after themselves.

Update Dirty Room – The dirty room is getting to be a hot mess. It needs better organization and maybe a reduction in tools. Lordspeed is going to send an email to the membership to see what they want out of the dirty room and try to make it functional for the most members possible.

Event Coordination – We need a person or people to be the point(s) of contact for the outreach items/fairs i.e. maker faire, steamfest, sparks and spirits, etc. Lordspeed will send an email to the list to see if anyone wants to take point.

People Showing the Building – There have been people coming through and showing the building like it’s up for rent/lease/sale. Lordspeed will reach out to Tony to try and get more information. Someone else asked why the building was being shown and was given a vague answer. We may be looking for a new space. Keep your eyes peeled. Send suggestions for new location to the list.

Removed Members Coming Back – No change in policy at this time. We’re not going to create a path for someone to come back. People who have been removed could potentially approach the board via email to make a case for coming back if they wanted to. They are not prohibited from contacting us. Allowing people to come back after known acts of violence could potentially open us up to liability if the person were to become violent again.

MANAGER REPORTS

External Business – DIGI IS BACK. Manager meetings will resume Thursdays at the same time.

Internal Business – Position is still vacant.

OLD BUSINESS

Website – Broken. Fubar. It’s breaking other things. CRM solution will likely take over hosting of membership data and payment info. Move the rest to WordPress maybe? Some other option? Open to ideas.

Choochoo has 1 week to find out what it would take to move from Digital Ocean and to another solution and pricing for that new solution. Proton will be our new web guy. Choochoo to work with Proton and making website more better.

Network – We have Ubiquiti networking gear now! Hooray! It can do packet analysis and can block p2p. Hopefully help mitigate unwanted torrenting and make CenturyLink happy.

Access Control – Tilver worked with Mary to go over list of active members. OMF has alluded to giving us access to the badging system again if we can prove we are managing our members list correctly. If you haven’t responded to Mary’s email asking for info, your access card MAY NOT WORK SOON.

Grendel – Tilver looking into getting title. Once we know if a title can be obtained Sean will look into the feasibility/cost of getting it fixed. Then potentially getting it registered to be let loose on the streets of Denver.

Artemis – It needs to be rebuilt. It fell off of the shelves behind Grendel. Gizmo Dojo asked us about bringing Artemis to an event for monies. Perhaps trade Artemis use for assistance in fixing the laser. Justin contacting Tom at Gizmo Dojo about trading services. Will report back next week.

Tables – Krav built a new table and fixed some failing legs on other tables.

Access Cards – Details covered in Access Control item. See above.

LAZ0RZ – The laser is borked. Tube and power supply are ruined. We have a lead on someone from another hackerspace who might be able to fix it. See Artemis notes. Jimmy and Proton are going to be the new lazer team. pewpew@denhac.org – lazer contact distro list Budget – We two options for cost to fix. $300 – restore us back to where we were before. $1500 – upgraded power supply that has a failsafe, more powerful, and longer life span. VOTE: Proceed with Damon’s suggestion to upgrade laser: All in favor. ($1500)

Century Link – Old account that Matt S. opened in our name still exists, it was merged with our current account, and the old balance was carried forward and put on hold. Then there was a monetary adjustment to our account that approximately matches the amount carried forward from the old account. Digi is going to do some final reconciliation but is seems to be resolved. HOORAY!

Radio Station – There is a group that has approached us about taking our frequency in trade for their frequency, an HD frequency, and money. More details to follow.

NEW BUSINESS

LinuxCNC – Marcel Grenier. He is not in attendance to discuss his idea. Moving on.

Secure Storage – Krav, since he has taken on hack denhac day and some internal business, would like some secure storage for denhac supplies. Perhaps an allocated cabinet in the cabinets next to grendel. Will provide budget if more is needed. Otherwise free to allocate some storage space for denhac supplies.

Hack Denhac Day – Things are happening! Josh is awesome for taking point on this and keeping it going. Unclaimed items from around the space and/or unlabelled things from storage are going to get purged SOON. Label your stuff! LABEL YOUR STUFF! Or come get your stuff. Notifications to be sent out to membership.

Tool Control – Sockwell wants to talk about tool control but got drunk on cough syrup. Will discuss next time. T.V. – A member could donate a TV or we could approach electronics retailers about asking for donations for nonprofits.

NeonCRM – Member management program we were looking at using. With website piece its $90/month. If we have it do just what we need it to do it’s $50/month. VOTE: Purchasing the $50/month option that does just what we need: All in favor.

3D Printer Access – Justin just needs an R Pi camera, some brackets that can be printed, and ChooChoo to add it to the network. Greenlight. Camera is approx $25, no need for board vote. Submit for reimbursement later.

Donation Tablespace – No need for board review/approval. Krav is going to do the thing and submit for reimbursement if any costs are incurred.

We’re Hiring – We are in need of an Operations Manager, Classes Coordinator and Donations Manager. Donations could also be handled/reviewed/purged/refined/whatever on Hack Denhac Day.

Password Manager – Due to time crunch Digi went ahead and renewed the LastPass acct @ $170/year. VOTE: Reimburse Digi for paying for LastPass – All in favor. Objective: Find a new password manager that’s better and/or cheaper. Preferably both.

Cryptocurrency Mining in the Space – Cost would be approximately $60/month electricity. The space would control the wallet. The member would get back a portion of the earnings to reimburse cost of rig. The space would get some of the earnings. Could tie in to once monthly classes on cryptocurrency mining. VOTE: To allow cryptocurrency mining rig to be stored in the space with the conditions above: All in favor.

Policy Updates: Denhac Bylaws: Board Vote: Do we want to adopt the denhac bylaws as provided and updated by digi? All 6 board members voted in favor. Denhac Policies Board Vote: Do we want to adopt the denhac policies as provided and updated by digi? All 6 board members voted in favor.

If you think the “denahc how-to” is missing anything, please reach out to Digi.

Board Vacancy Nominations – Already discussed. See above.

Groups Policy (Eric): Idea for this because Network progress has been going well. How to impleent that for other projects.

CenturyLink: Backstory TL;DR: A previous member of denhac worked with CenturyLink to have a gig fiber line run to the building. This member signed the contract for service at a price of $750/month with the intent to resell the service to entities along the art district. This person signed the contract under denhacs name despite not having any signing authority and being advised directly by the board not to put the service in denhacs name. This contract was later “transferred” to a company called Cardea and it sounds like it was (or was supposed to be) transferred to another company. In April 2017 the connection was disconnected.

Turns out the service was disconnected for non-payment. The account is currently about $9,000 behind and CenturyLink is coming to us for payment since it is still in our name somehow. >_<

Digi put together all of the documentation he could find from board meeting minutes, emails, etc showing that denhac never approved this and explicitly stated we did not want to connection in our name and provided that to a contact at CenturyLink.

IF YOU HAVE THE BOARD MEETING MINUTES FROM NOVEMBER 2014 PLEASE SEND THEM TO DIGI NAO!

Digi requests $500 be reserved from the budget for possible future fees for legal counsel.

BOARD VOTE: Reserve $500 from the budget for possible future fees for legal counsel. All 6 board members voted in favor.

• Dirty Room – Two issues: 1. Air quality is going down now that it’s actually being used for dirty things. 2. Schedule time to do noisy things or mitigating noise.

Need to talk to OMF about what we can/cant do to mitigate noise and dust/particles. Give us your ideas to make it better.

• Education/Outreach Officer Position – After discussion we will not at this time be making a new manager position. Mo will work with Internal/External managers specifically on classes and educational outreach.

• Grendel – Worlds largest pi case? Idea for Grendel: Put in a lot of laptop monitors and r-pis to make a mobile gaming station.

What is its status? – Still trying to figure out who had it registered last

OMF Classes – Covered a little in outreach.

Digi’s list of misc things to add:

• Suspended Grendel insurance since it isnt being driven. Just FYI.
• Day rates for space – Are we interested in offering day rates?

Two primary topics re: Day rates: 1. Do we want to limit equipment usage to members or those under the supervision of members/instructors? 2. If we want to offer day rates: What is the cost? What is the policy?

More discussions needed. Internal/External managers will discuss more and being some ideas to the next meeting.

• LPFM: Do you want to be a part of the community aspect of LPFM? Finding musicians, making content, etc. Talk to Digi.
