Foam Cutter

Kip: Updated instructions on how to use the foam cutter with current software.

[[Category:FabLab Equipment]]
= About =
[[File:Foam-Cutter.jpg|480px|right]]
This device allows users to draw designs on a computer to be cut out of low-cost foam. Designs are made using [http://www.inkscape.org Inkscape], an open-source vector graphics editor (other editors, such as Adobe Illustrator, can be used as well).

Foam cutting is a great way to rapidly prototype work before committing to more expensive materials! MakeICT's foam cutting machine was built and contributed by [[User:Tom McGuire|Tom McGuire]].

= Machine Access Policy =
Use of the Foam Cutter requires authorization from an approved peer-authorizor or attendance in a Foam Cutter workshop that includes authorization.

* Any member who has been authorized to use the foam cutter may peer-certify other members
* Authorization instruction must at least include
** Fundamental knowledge of foam cutter's working principles
** Proper use and control of foam cutter
** Software workflow
* Authorization must be documented (''link to instructions or form'') prior to use
* List of Foam Cutter authorized users is listed below

== New foam cutter - Updated info (2022-10-19) ==
Due to the Inkscape extension previously used to run the foam cutter being incompatible with current versions of Inkscape, the MakeICT foam cutter has received some updates that make it more compatible with more typically gcode senders. Namely:
* Switching from custom Arduino code to a fork of GRBL, [https://github.com/vankesteren/grbl-servo.git grbl-servo]
* Switching from a custom stepper shield to a standard GRBL shield. Specifically, [https://blog.protoneer.co.nz/arduino-cnc-shield/ this one]

These changes preserve the variable cut depth functionality, but alter the workflow. Unfortunately, the new workflow isn't quite as simple and straight-forward as the previous workflow, but we expect it to be more durable.

The cut depth is now set on a per-layer basis when going through the gcode generation steps, rather than interpretted from line opacity. All paths in a layer will have the same cut depth, so if your design has three different cut depths, you'll need three layers.

# Prepare your design
## Download and install [http://inkscape.org inkscape]
## Create your design using paths and objects (if you want an image, you must trace it)
## Make sure your design is in the bottom left corner and that patterns use space efficiently
# Prepare your gcode
## Convert all objects to paths
### Select all (Drag to selcet, or Ctrl+A)
### Path > Object to Path (Shift+Ctrl+C)
## For each layer, create a Gcodetools Tool definition
### Make the desired layer active (select it in the Layers and Objects menu)
### Navigate to Extensions > Gcodetools > Tools library...
### Select MakeICT Foam Cutter, then click Apply
### Set the cut depth for this layer
#### In the "MakeICT Foam Cutter" text box, edit the S value in the "gcode before path" section
##### That's the "255" in "M3 S255"
##### The default S value is 255, which is full cut depth
##### An S value of 0 is full retraction
##### '''Note''': An S value of 127 or 128 does not equate to "halfway through," so you'll need to experiment with values to find your desired cut depth!
## Generate the gcode
### Navigate to Extensions > Gcodetools > Path to Gcode...
### In the pop-up window, make sure the "Path to Gcode" tab is active
### Click Apply
# Locate your gcode file
## Your gcode file should save to the "Foam Cutter gcode" folder
### This is located at C:\Users\Maker\Documents\Foam Cutter gcode
### There is a shortcut to this folder on the Desktop
### This folder is also pinned in the Favorites in the left pane of the file explorer
## Your gcode file should be named "output####.ngc"
### The greatest four-digit value should be the newest gcode file
### Please remove all of your output####.ngc files when you're finished using the foam cutter
### If the person before you didn't remove their output files, yours may have a number higher than 0001
## If you cannot find your gcode...
### In Inkscape, navigate to Extensions > Gcodetools > Path to Gcode...
### Select the Preferences tab
### The "File:" field contains the base name of your gcode file
#### If you change this value to something other than "output.ngc", please please please change it back. If you don't, you're the reason this part of the instructions were even necessary. Do NOT be ''that guy.''
### The "Directory:" field contains the folder location where your gcode can be found
#### If you change this value to something other than "C:\Users\Maker\Documents\Foam Cutter gcode", please please please change it back. If you don't, you're the reason this part of the instructions were even necessary. Do NOT be ''that guy.''
# Prepare the foam cutter
## Find a piece of foam large enough to accommodate your piece
## Attach the foam to the cutter using masking tape
## Foam should be loaded with the thin film (print side) facing you. The blue foam has film on both sides
## Make sure the foam cutter is powered
## Make sure the foam cutter USB is connected
# Connect to the foam cutter
## Launch CNCjs
## Select the appropriate Port
### At the time of this writing, that's COM9
### The Manufacturer should be listed as Arduino LLC
## Set Baud Rate to 115200 if it's not already
## Click the blue "Open" button
# Cut your design
## In CNCjs...
### Load your gcode file by either
#### Clicking the blue Upload G-code button in the upper left of the preview pane
#### Drag-n-drop-ing the file into the preview pane
### Make sure the preview shows the correct image
### In the Axes pane
#### Use the X and Y step controls to position the cuthead at the bottom-left of the foam sheet
#### Zero each axis' Work Position
### Cut your design by clicking the Run button to the right of the blue Upload G-code button in the upper left of the preview pane

== New foam cutter ==
'''New feature''' - the new foam cutter has cutting depth support. When creating your design, the opacity of a shape will control it's cutting depth. The more opaque, the deeper the cut. More transparent, more shallow.

# Prepare your design
## Download and install [http://inkscape.org inkscape]
## Create your design using paths and objects (if you want an image, you must trace it)
## Make sure your design is in the bottom left corner, and that patterns use space efficiently
# Prepare the foam cutter
## Find a piece of foam large enough to accommodate your piece
## Attach the foam to the cutter using masking tape
## Foam should be loaded with the thin film (print side) facing you. The blue foam has film on both sides
# Cut your design
## In Inkscape, select ''Extensions > Export > MakeICT Foam Cutter''
## Using the CNC manual controls, move the perforator until it is positioned at the bottom left corner of the mounted foam
## Press the ''Set home'' button
## Press the ''Send drawing'' button

** Account balances
*** Paypal
****July 1-July 31 3295.03.
*** Investments
**** 70,420.03.
**** We have not put any additional funds. We just let it hover.
**Accountant update
*** will hope to pick an accountant by next week. Hope to get started on the audit and setting up our systems by next week.
*** Bank
**** 17,968.99
*** Cash summary
**** Total: 95,089.18
*** Bus account:
**** 1158.19
** Question: Patrick Hutchison: how much to do we have to spend?
*** As of last month, you had 751.64. You spent about $300 on clay this month. You’re in the $400 range of what you have left for this year.
** Question: Scott: How are our donations versus outgoing.
*** Don’t have a good way to track it, therefore we don’t have an answer.
** Question: Scott: is there an amount that just the ceramics area brings in?
*** We don’t know. It’s not separated out like that. The reason for switching to quickbooks was to track this stuff, but we’re still in the setting up stage.
** Question: Patrick: should we be doing something different so that we can track that.
*** Maybe. We should work something out.
** LaDeana moves to accept the Treasurer’s report, Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion: none.
*** Count: 7 in favor
** {{decision|The Treasurer’s report is accepted.}}

* [[July 12 2018|Previous minutes]]
** LaDeana moves to accept last month’s minutes, David seconds.
*** Discussion: Wants links to the previous minutes more often. Really like that.
*** Count: 7 in favor
** {{decision| The minutes for July 12, 2018 are approved.}}

* Safety & security
** The front door was propped open earlier today. The people in the front area had no clue why it was open.
** Report: Mark has resigned from Security and Devin has been added to the Security team.
** We need to track our keys better. Talk to Ken about tracking keys.
** Possibly rekey everything since we don’t know who all has keys. Possibly not a problem, as doors here don’t really need keys.

* Meetings with Score update:
** We need a very clear record of all equipment that we have donated, purchased, sold, or given away.
** We don’t currently have an accurate tracker. ( [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VkXnT4PGLghCPkzMrf1oeFlw3DrtFaB1OilWdpbp-vY/edit?usp=sharing Donation Log]) → bring this up at the Area Leads meeting.
** donation means receipt was given. Purchase means receipt exists.
** would we put this in quickbooks or spreadsheet?
*** Not a good thing for quickbooks. Definitely need a process in place. Doesn’t need to be a policy, just a general process that we all follow. Could add a tab in the Donations Log for Purchased Assets.
**** Each Area Lead would need to go through their area and document the assets in their area that are MakeICT’s. Document on the appropriate tab in the [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VkXnT4PGLghCPkzMrf1oeFlw3DrtFaB1OilWdpbp-vY/edit?usp=sharing Donation Log]. {{todo|who=Area Leads|what=Document assets.|done=0}}

** Everyone who helped move the laser cutter - Paul, Curt, Zac, David for offering moral support, Ken, Omar, Terrence, Christian, & others
** Devin for stopping Paul from falling off a ladder
** New laser setup - Tom Bloom, Zac, Christian,
** Cleanup day - Shannon and all the cool people who showed up. :)
** James and Kirk Lancaster for taking in Joel Leonard
** Rusty spent two days weed eating and spraying weeds

* David would like to discuss donor recognition
** We should absolutely recognize all those who have given to MakeICT.
** Do we have a good list of donors some place?
*** Donation Log - cash tab.
**** Donation Log is not currently up to date.
** {{todo|who=LaDeana|what=Make donor wall happen. One way or another.|done=0}}

== New Business ==

=== Review meeting goals and ground rules ===
* Good ideas from [[January 22 Strategic Planning Meeting|2016]]
* Volunteer health check
* Procedure note we've learned: To avoid ties, president should abstain from voting except to settle a tie. Another good strategy is to have an odd number of board members.

=== Vacancy Filling ===
* Vote on interim board member, or hold new election for the open spot. -- Jeremiah quit.
* Area lead vacancies?

* Ideas:
** Next up from the election.
** Appoint someone.
** Hold a new election.
** Leave vacant - cannot, per the bylaws
** Ask for volunteers?

* Need a decision by August.
** Kim: wants to do an election.
** Paul: concerns based on last election that we don’t already have an election committee in place, this might be as big of a fiasco.
** Zac: worried that an election would confuse members.
** Devin: election is a good idea.
** Patrick: if the bylaws were more clear, that would be nice. We need to figure out how to do elections properly.
** Curt: Interim until election is a bad idea. Either appoint someone or hold an election in September. If you’re going to hold an election, you better do it right.
** Mike B: Questions about the wording of the bylaws. The ‘regular meeting’ probably doesn't mean membership meeting, it probably means the next board meeting.
** LaDeana moves to take this offline so that the board can do the homework so we know if we appoint someone or elect someone. No second. Motion fails.

** Kez moves that we appoint Dominic Canare for the remainder of the term to end June 2019. Kim seconds the motion.
*** Count: 1 in favor, 5 opposed.

** David moves that we appoint an interim board member from the people who were voted upon already from those who ran in June 2018 in order of count. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion: Wants to start with Rustin and then go down the list on number of votes. This is an appointment.
*** Count: 4 in favor, 1 opposed, 2 abstained.
** {{decision|The method for deciding who to appoint to the vacant position will be to appoint the person with the next greatest number of votes received during the annual election.}}

** David moves to appoint Rusty based on his votes from the previous election, effective this moment. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion: none.
*** Count: 5 in favor, 1 opposed, 1 abstain.
** {{decision|Rusty is appointed to the vacant Director At Large position.}}

*** David moves that the current term serves as one of the three consecutive terms listed in Article V Section 1 in regards to Rustin’s appointment as an At-Large Director. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion: Rustin accepts this.
*** Count: 6 in favor, 2 abstain.
** {{decision|Rusty’s appointment will count towards the three term limit specified in the Bylaws.}}

=== Finance committee ===
* Policy proposal:
** David’s proposed policy: “[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M2lMyHmOjBIMyEEdD5UKlnVZm_pntYdSAYl0zo3HD8Y/edit Checks and Balances.]”
** Going over transactions each month with at least one board member.
** David moves to accept his [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M2lMyHmOjBIMyEEdD5UKlnVZm_pntYdSAYl0zo3HD8Y/edit proposed policy]. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion:
**** Paul: if we’re having an official audit, can we just entrust the finance committee to do this? **** David would prefer that it be a rotating board member.
**** James: a second check is a great idea.
**** David: as many eyes on the finances is a good idea.
*** Count: 7 in favor, 1 abstain.
**{{decision|David’s proposed “Checks and Balances” policy is adopted.}}

* DevICT/KLF status
** contacted David about insurance. He pointed them in the right direction.
** We’re still in the process of helping them get their ducks in a row. Nothing new to report.

=== Quarterly Meeting Planning ===
* September - need to pick a date
** {{decision| The September quarterly member meeting shall be held on Sunday, September 16, 2018 at 5pm.}}

=== Magic Wheelchair===
* Building a wheelchair for Ryan - Highway Patrol Car
** David - we are the official builders for this build.

=== Education ===
* Recruiting inkscape teachers - Eric
** no update.

=== Gun/firearms policy ===
* Zac to update
** That has gone to Ken as of two board meetings ago…
** {{todo|who=Ken|what=Propose a guns/firearms policy.|done=0}}

=== Elections ===
* [https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1XZH3g3Lgvmw9H7qfu3w12pneAHmrdzmB Voting policy proposal]
** Discussion: none.
** David motions to accept the policy as presented. LaDeana seconds.
*** Discussion: Paul asks to table this till next month. David rescinds his motion.

=== Scholarship Committee ===
* [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g9Q4jOpQRPOSLnYfKIEh4LUsI5zg8AfgHuOA2iNWm0Q/edit?usp=sharing Scholarship policy proposal]
** Discussion:
*** Zac: have we determined a working definition for “financial need”?
**** Anyone who states that they need financial need.
**** No one is on a free ride. Everyone is on a reduced rate. There are 5 people on scholarship right now.
*** Zac proposes that we have a working definition for financial need.
**** David: those who ask, need.
*** Patrick: if you’re chasing the greedy, you’re missing the needy. Add a couple sentences to address an abuse of policy, rather, that allows for review of a scholarship in case of potential abuse.
*** Mike: we should have a policy, but this one makes significant changes. The significant changes that haven’t been discussed: people can only get a scholarship once, for 6 months.
*** Rustin: there’s an alternate avenue -- sponsorships.
*** Curt: ask Score to give an interpretation of the issue: as a 501c3 are we required do do charity?
**** {{todo|who=Kim|what=Ask Score to give and interpretation on whether or not we are required, as a 501c3, to do charity.|done=0}}
** David motions to table the vote on this policy and keep the current scholarships in place till it’s settled. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion:
**** Paul: were people ever notified that their scholarships were going away?
**** David: I don’t think so.
**** James: this overrides the decision made July 12, 2018.
*** Count: 4 in favor, 2 opposed, 1 abstain.
** {{decision|The decision to table the vote to make a decision about a scholarship policy was decided.}}

=== Committee Lead Assignments ===
* Need to pick new committee leads
** This is just discussion in preparation for picking committee leads at the September Board Meeting.
** Paul: it would make sense to keep the committees as is until the bylaws are fixed.
** Zac: we don’t have enough people to fill sub and sub sub committees.
** Paul motions that we keep the current committees and staff the current committees in September. David seconds.
*** Discussion: none
*** Count: 5 in favor, 2 abstain.
** {{decision|The current committees will be kept. They will be staffed in September.}}
*** Discussion:
**** James L.: suggestion -- open it up at the annual meeting.
**** Malissa: we still don’t have a strategic plan, and the board has not dealt with that, because the people wanted the board to deal with that.
**** Rustin: has a call for nominees been put out? No. All committees should be used.
**** Kez: we should use the committee lead sign up form again.
**** James L.: we need to have very well defined objectives for the committee.

*** Curt’s intention is to develop this as a tech center.
*** It’s somewhere between 13,000-18,000sq ft.
*** He plans to have us pay $5/sq foot, others in the building will be paying $10/square foot.
*** This is a lease option, not a buy option.
*** He thinks we would have to raise dues or increase membership.
*** Curt would pay an architect to plan out our space so it’s not willy nilly.
*** There might be a sticking point with the 24/7 access -- Wants to be able to afford someone to sit at a desk 8a-5p and monitor/control access to the building.
*** James L: access to the MakeICT space would be controlled by the building, not MakeICT.
*** Curt: would have to adhere to reasonable things to ensure that it’s secure.
*** Scott: Maker Monday and stuff, there is access to the public.
*** Curt: is aware, would have to figure that out. The door might be open from 8a-5p and locked after dark. It would be different from here where MakeICT controls the outer and inner entrance.
*** Curt would like to see a vote that empowers the board to move forward with interesting buildings.
*** Curt would cover the cost of trash.
*** Malissa: on average, a makerspace loses 20% of their membership to a move.
*** Zac: If we lose 20% of the move, and if we raise dues, we would still be ahead in the numbers.
*** Jens: same format as what we used when we moved into the current building. This is the same projection in that we do expect to be negative the first year. This is a conservative projection.
*** Curt would like to see the membership raise dues. Or else he doesn’t think that the membership is willing to commit to this endeavor.
*** James L. that can only be done at an annual meeting.
*** David: one thing that has been discussed is educating the members that they can donate $10 extra dollars a month to the “new building fund” (that doesn’t exist yet, but we could make it a thing).
** David moves to take this proposal to the members at the September meeting. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion:
**** Curt: based on your current funding, you can’t afford this. So if you don’t raise dues, then at the end of the year, you might have to leave and then he’s taken a huge hit.
**** Paul: first year: we pay $5/sqft, second year $5.50/sqft, third year $6/sqft.
**** Kez: concerns about security of the Printer’s Inc building location, including the tent city on Santa Fe, the lack of general auto and foot traffic.
**** Rustin: can someone pull up the crime rate map?
**** Paul: obviously it is a step up, but the $25,000 build out is a lot. Also, how are we going to facilitate the entire move, because we need to figure out how to do all this better than we have historically.
**** Mike B.: people haven’t seen how quickly the Douglas building came together.
**** Malissa wants to amend the motion - we need a plan before we go before the membership. And we need to have an actionable plan.
*** Count: 1 opposed, 2 abstain, 4 in favor.
** {{decision|The board will take a proposal to move into Curt’s building to the membership for a vote at the September meeting.}}

Rustin motioned to end the meeting, Paul seconded. 4 in favor, 1 opposed, 2 abstain. Motion carries.

== New Business ==

=== Review meeting goals and ground rules ===
* Good ideas from [[January 22 Strategic Planning Meeting|2016]]
* Volunteer health check
* Procedure note we've learned: To avoid ties, president should abstain from voting except to settle a tie. Another good strategy is to have an odd number of board members.

=== Vacancy Filling ===
* Vote on interim board member, or hold new election for the open spot. -- Jeremiah quit.
* Area lead vacancies?

* Ideas:
** Next up from the election.
** Appoint someone.
** Hold a new election.
** Leave vacant - cannot, per the bylaws
** Ask for volunteers?

* Need a decision by August.
** Kim: wants to do an election.
** Paul: concerns based on last election that we don’t already have an election committee in place, this might be as big of a fiasco.
** Zac: worried that an election would confuse members.
** Devin: election is a good idea.
** Patrick: if the bylaws were more clear, that would be nice. We need to figure out how to do elections properly.
** Curt: Interim until election is a bad idea. Either appoint someone or hold an election in September. If you’re going to hold an election, you better do it right.
** Mike B: Questions about the wording of the bylaws. The ‘regular meeting’ probably doesn't mean membership meeting, it probably means the next board meeting.
** LaDeana moves to take this offline so that the board can do the homework so we know if we appoint someone or elect someone. No second. Motion fails.

** Kez moves that we appoint Dominic Canare for the remainder of the term to end June 2019. Kim seconds the motion.
*** Count: 1 in favor, 5 opposed.

** David moves that we appoint an interim board member from the people who were voted upon already from those who ran in June 2018 in order of count. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion: Wants to start with Rustin and then go down the list on number of votes. This is an appointment.
*** Count: 4 in favor, 1 opposed, 2 abstained.
** {{decision|The method for deciding who to appoint to the vacant position will be to appoint the person with the next greatest number of votes received during the annual election.}}

** David moves to appoint Rusty based on his votes from the previous election, effective this moment. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion: none.
*** Count: 5 in favor, 1 opposed, 1 abstain.
** {{decision|Rusty is appointed to the vacant Director At Large position.}}

*** David moves that the current term serves as one of the three consecutive terms listed in Article V Section 1 in regards to Rustin’s appointment as an At-Large Director. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion: Rustin accepts this.
*** Count: 6 in favor, 2 abstain.
** {{decision|Rusty’s appointment will count towards the three term limit specified in the Bylaws.}}

=== Finance committee ===
* Policy proposal:
** David’s proposed policy: “[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M2lMyHmOjBIMyEEdD5UKlnVZm_pntYdSAYl0zo3HD8Y/edit Checks and Balances.]”
** Going over transactions each month with at least one board member.
** David moves to accept his [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M2lMyHmOjBIMyEEdD5UKlnVZm_pntYdSAYl0zo3HD8Y/edit proposed policy]. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion:
**** Paul: if we’re having an official audit, can we just entrust the finance committee to do this? **** David would prefer that it be a rotating board member.
**** James: a second check is a great idea.
**** David: as many eyes on the finances is a good idea.
*** Count: 7 in favor, 1 abstain.
**{{decision|David’s proposed “Checks and Balances” policy is adopted.}}

* DevICT/KLF status
** contacted David about insurance. He pointed them in the right direction.
** We’re still in the process of helping them get their ducks in a row. Nothing new to report.

=== Quarterly Meeting Planning ===
* September - need to pick a date
** {{decision| The September quarterly member meeting shall be held on Sunday, September 16, 2018 at 5pm.}}

=== Magic Wheelchair===
* Building a wheelchair for Ryan - Highway Patrol Car
** David - we are the official builders for this build.

=== Education ===
* Recruiting inkscape teachers - Eric
** no update.

=== Gun/firearms policy ===
* Zac to update
** That has gone to Ken as of two board meetings ago…
** {{todo|who=Ken|what=Propose a guns/firearms policy.|done=0}}

=== Scholarship Committee ===
* [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g9Q4jOpQRPOSLnYfKIEh4LUsI5zg8AfgHuOA2iNWm0Q/edit?usp=sharing Scholarship policy proposal]
** Discussion:
*** Zac: have we determined a working definition for “financial need”?
**** Anyone who states that they need financial need.
**** No one is on a free ride. Everyone is on a reduced rate. There are 5 people on scholarship right now.
*** Zac proposes that we have a working definition for financial need.
**** David: those who ask, need.
*** Patrick: if you’re chasing the greedy, you’re missing the needy. Add a couple sentences to address an abuse of policy, rather, that allows for review of a scholarship in case of potential abuse.
*** Mike: we should have a policy, but this one makes significant changes. The significant changes that haven’t been discussed: people can only get a scholarship once, for 6 months.
*** Rustin: there’s an alternate avenue -- sponsorships.
*** Curt: ask Score to give an interpretation of the issue: as a 501c3 are we required do do charity?
**** {{todo|who=Kim|what=Ask Score to give and interpretation on whether or not we are required, as a 501c3, to do charity.|done=0}}
** David motions to table the vote on this policy and keep the current scholarships in place till it’s settled. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion:
**** Paul: were people ever notified that their scholarships were going away?
**** David: I don’t think so.
**** James: this overrides the decision made July 12, 2018.
*** Count: 4 in favor, 2 opposed, 1 abstain.
** {{decision|The decision to table the vote to make a decision about a scholarship policy was decided.}}

=== Committee Lead Assignments ===
* Need to pick new committee leads
** This is just discussion in preparation for picking committee leads at the September Board Meeting.
** Paul: it would make sense to keep the committees as is until the bylaws are fixed.
** Zac: we don’t have enough people to fill sub and sub sub committees.
** Paul motions that we keep the current committees and staff the current committees in September. David seconds.
*** Discussion: none
*** Count: 5 in favor, 2 abstain.
** {{decision|The current committees will be kept. They will be staffed in September.}}
*** Discussion:
**** James L.: suggestion -- open it up at the annual meeting.
**** Malissa: we still don’t have a strategic plan, and the board has not dealt with that, because the people wanted the board to deal with that.
**** Rustin: has a call for nominees been put out? No. All committees should be used.
**** Kez: we should use the committee lead sign up form again.
**** James L.: we need to have very well defined objectives for the committee.

** See update above in Treasurer’s report.

* New Building
** Jens: there is a building solution. Curt has put an offer on a building. He has offered us a portion of it. The hope is that the board is going to give a yes or no to move forward to take this to the membership at the September meeting.
*** Mike B says that we should go into executive session.
*** Curt has no strong opinion about how the board discusses it at this point.
** Discussion:
*** Curt and Tracy decided to move forward with the building regardless of what MakeICT does; they would like us to be a part of it.
*** The building in discussion is the old Printer’s Inc Building.
*** Curt’s intention is to develop this as a tech center.
*** It’s somewhere between 13,000-18,000sq ft.
*** He plans to have us pay $5/sq foot, others in the building will be paying $10/square foot.
*** This is a lease option, not a buy option.
*** He thinks we would have to raise dues or increase membership.
*** Curt would pay an architect to plan out our space so it’s not willy nilly.
*** There might be a sticking point with the 24/7 access -- Wants to be able to afford someone to sit at a desk 8a-5p and monitor/control access to the building.
*** James L: access to the MakeICT space would be controlled by the building, not MakeICT.
*** Curt: would have to adhere to reasonable things to ensure that it’s secure.
*** Scott: Maker Monday and stuff, there is access to the public.
*** Curt: is aware, would have to figure that out. The door might be open from 8a-5p and locked after dark. It would be different from here where MakeICT controls the outer and inner entrance.
*** Curt would like to see a vote that empowers the board to move forward with interesting buildings.
*** Curt would cover the cost of trash.
*** Malissa: on average, a makerspace loses 20% of their membership to a move.
*** Zac: If we lose 20% of the move, and if we raise dues, we would still be ahead in the numbers.
*** Jens: same format as what we used when we moved into the current building. This is the same projection in that we do expect to be negative the first year. This is a conservative projection.
*** Curt would like to see the membership raise dues. Or else he doesn’t think that the membership is willing to commit to this endeavor.
*** James L. that can only be done at an annual meeting.

** David moves to take this proposal to the members at the September meeting. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion:
**** Curt: based on your current funding, you can’t afford this. So if you don’t raise dues, then at the end of the year, you might have to leave and then he’s taken a huge hit.
**** Paul: first year: we pay $5/sqft, second year $5.50/sqft, third year $6/sqft.
**** Kez: concerns about security of the Printer’s Inc building location, including the tent city on Santa Fe, the lack of general auto and foot traffic.

**** David: those who ask, need.
*** Patrick: if you’re chasing the greedy, you’re missing the needy. Add a couple sentences to address an abuse of policy, rather, that allows for review of a scholarship in case of potential abuse.
*** Mike: we should have a policy, but this one makes significant changes. The significant changes that haven’t been discussed: people can only get a scholarship once, for 6 months.
*** Rustin: there’s an alternate avenue -- sponsorships.
*** Curt: ask Score to give an interpretation of the issue: as a 501c3 are we required do do charity?
**** {{todo|who=Kim|what=Ask Score to give and interpretation on whether or not we are required, as a 501c3, to do charity.|done=0}}
** David motions to table the vote on this policy and keep the current scholarships in place till it’s settled. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion:
**** Paul: were people ever notified that their scholarships were going away?
**** David: I don’t think so.
**** James: this overrides the decision made July 12, 2018.
*** Count: 4 in favor, 2 opposed, 1 abstain.
** {{decision|The decision to table the vote to make a decision about a scholarship policy was decided.}}

=== Committee Lead Assignments ===
* Need to pick new committee leads
** This is just discussion in preparation for picking committee leads at the September Board Meeting.
** Paul: it would make sense to keep the committees as is until the bylaws are fixed.
** Zac: we don’t have enough people to fill sub and sub sub committees.
** Paul motions that we keep the current committees and staff the current committees in September. David seconds.
*** Discussion: none
*** Count: 5 in favor, 2 abstain.
** {{decision|The current committees will be kept. They will be staffed in September.}}
*** Discussion:
**** James L.: suggestion -- open it up at the annual meeting.
**** Malissa: we still don’t have a strategic plan, and the board has not dealt with that, because the people wanted the board to deal with that.
**** Rustin: has a call for nominees been put out? No. All committees should be used.
**** Kez: we should use the committee lead sign up form again.
**** James L.: we need to have very well defined objectives for the committee.

* Kim challenged committee leads to make a wiki page for their committees, refer to [[Contact Information]] for links

=== Committees ===
* Finance (David)
** See update above in Treasurer’s report.

* New Building
** Jens: there is a building solution. Curt has put an offer on a building. He has offered us a portion of it. The hope is that the board is going to give a yes or no to move forward to take this to the membership at the September meeting.
*** Mike B says that we should go into executive session.
*** Curt has no strong opinion about how the board discusses it at this point.
** Discussion:
*** Curt and Tracy decided to move forward with the building regardless of what MakeICT does; they would like us to be a part of it.
*** The building in discussion is the old Printer’s Inc Building.
*** Curt’s intention is to develop this as a tech center.
*** It’s somewhere between 13,000-18,000sq ft.
*** He plans to have us pay $5/sq foot, others in the building will be paying $10/square foot.
*** This is a lease option, not a buy option.
*** He thinks we would have to raise dues or increase membership.
*** Curt would pay an architect to plan out our space so it’s not willy nilly.
*** There might be a sticking point with the 24/7 access -- Wants to be able to afford someone to sit at a desk 8a-5p and monitor/control access to the building.
*** James L: access to the MakeICT space would be controlled by the building, not MakeICT.
*** Curt: would have to adhere to reasonable things to ensure that it’s secure.
*** Scott: Maker Monday and stuff, there is access to the public.
*** Curt: is aware, would have to figure that out. The door might be open from 8a-5p and locked after dark. It would be different from here where MakeICT controls the outer and inner entrance.
*** Curt would like to see a vote that empowers the board to move forward with interesting buildings.
*** Curt would cover the cost of trash.
*** Malissa: on average, a makerspace loses 20% of their membership to a move.
*** Zac: If we lose 20% of the move, and if we raise dues, we would still be ahead in the numbers.
*** Jens: same format as what we used when we moved into the current building. This is the same projection in that we do expect to be negative the first year. This is a conservative projection.
*** Curt would like to see the membership raise dues. Or else he doesn’t think that the membership is willing to commit to this endeavor.
*** James L. that can only be done at an annual meeting.
*** David: one thing that has been discussed is educating the members that they can donate $10 extra dollars a month to the “new building fund” (that doesn’t exist yet, but we could make it a thing).
** David moves to take this proposal to the members at the September meeting. Malissa seconds.
*** Discussion:
**** Curt: based on your current funding, you can’t afford this. So if you don’t raise dues, then at the end of the year, you might have to leave and then he’s taken a huge hit.
**** Paul: first year: we pay $5/sqft, second year $5.50/sqft, third year $6/sqft.
**** Kez: concerns about security of the Printer’s Inc building location, including the tent city on Santa Fe, the lack of general auto and foot traffic.
**** Rustin: can someone pull up the crime rate map?
**** Paul: obviously it is a step up, but the $25,000 build out is a lot. Also, how are we going to facilitate the entire move, because we need to figure out how to do all this better than we have historically.
**** Mike B.: people haven’t seen how quickly the Douglas building came together.
**** Malissa wants to amend the motion - we need a plan before we go before the membership. And we need to have an actionable plan.
*** Count: 1 opposed, 2 abstain, 4 in favor.
** {{decision|The board will take a proposal to move into Curt’s building to the membership for a vote at the September meeting.}}

Rustin motioned to end the meeting, Paul seconded 4 in favor, 1 opposed, 2 abstain. Motion carries.

The host member is responsible/liable for activities of their guests, and all guests must follow official guest policies. There is no fee for this resource to our members, but a donation is suggested to offset facility costs.</blockquote>

'''Section 7: Conflict of Interest'''

Any officer or director who has a financial, personal, or official interest in, or conflict (or appearance of a conflict) with any matter pending before the Board, of such nature that it prevents or may prevent that member from acting on the matter in an impartial manner, will offer to the Board to voluntarily excuse him/herself and will vacate his seat and refrain from discussion and voting on said item.

== Matters for discussion and voting ==
=== Program adoption ===
# Maker Outreach
#* Why: Our outreach activities are numerous and give us a direct method for applying our mission and recruitment efforts. Formalizing a program around those activities will allow us to create a clear delineation of responsibilities, while also helping to set a budget and fundraising goals specifically for these efforts and aid in the recruitment of volunteers. A portion of donations/grants can go to the MakeICT umbrella organization.
#* Potential objective statement: We generate an appreciation for creating and advance the maker culture through hands-on activities and presentations in public spaces.
#* What fits:
#** Our presence at fairs, craft shows, and other tabling opportunities.
#** Other invitations to present MakeICT and its programs to groups
#* What doesn't fit:
#** Activity requests for specific or private groups, regardless of location
# Maker Academy
#* Why: Providing learning opportunities is at the core of our nonprofit, but it's also currently a huge missed-revenue opportunity. Creating a formal program which is separate from the MakeICT Makerspace program will help focus these efforts so that we can ensure that we provide our community with high quality learning opportunities and begin to develop partnerships with other organizations that are constantly seeking such opportunities.
#* Potential objective statement: We provide opportunities for expanding the knowledge of individuals and communities through teaching and learning.
#* What fits:
#** Alternative 1: All instructor-led classes (where an instructor fee is charged) at the makerspace or at a remote site, both public and private
#** Alternative 2: Only private classes held at the makerspace or at a remote site
#** {{decision|Use Alternative 1}}
#* What doesn't fit:
#** Free-for-members workshops at the makerspace (these will continue to be part of the makerspace program)
#** Group sessions to provide equipment/space authorizations to makerspace members (these will continue to be part of the makerspace program)
#** Outreach activities
# Open Wichita
#* Why: Open Wichita was borne of devICT leaders and volunteers, [https://www.codeforamerica.org/ Code for America], the open data movement, and increasing civic engagement. These efforts have spawned numerous activities and projects that serve the public good, rather than private interests. The administrative energy required to keep up with community volunteers' desire to do good is becoming increasingly difficult to manage for devICT leadership.
#* Potential objective statement: We improve the Wichita community using creative technological solutions and grassroots volunteer efforts.
# Kansas Linux Fest
#* Why: MakeICT served as the fiscal agent for the 2016 KLF - the 2nd annual conference to promote open source software in our state. Organized and ran by leadership from MakeICT, WuLUG, and devICT, KLF 2016 brought in speakers and attendees from both in and out of state. The Midwest thirsts for more tech conferences, and Wichita is especially in need of hosting more regional events that serve this community and relevant industries.
#* Potential objective statement: We promote education and the adoption of Linux and Free and Open Source software.
#* 5% of donations/grants from the 2016 KLF ($183.95) will come to the MakeICT umbrella organization

* {{decision|All program adoption proposals listed above were voted on via SurveyMonkey and have been approved.}}

=== Bylaw change proposals ===
# Change board voting to general board, rather than specific positions ([[Bylaws#Article_V:_The_Board_of_Directors|Article V, Section 3]])
#* Individuals with the most votes are elected on the board
#* Individuals in the newly elected board meet and decide among themselves for specific officer and at-large positions.
# Increase at-large director positions from 2 to 4 ([[Bylaws#Article_V:_The_Board_of_Directors|Article V, Section 1]])
#* Growth of the makerspace and organization as a whole should needs adequate leadership to support it
#* A larger board of directors can help distribute workload/responsibilities
#* A larger board will better represent our members' increasingly diverse interests and backgrounds
# Add a new board position for "Past President" ([[Bylaws#Article_IV:_The_Officers|Article IV]] or [[Bylaws#Article_V:_The_Board_of_Directors|Article V, Section 1]])
#* Most recent available board president automatically assumes this role upon election of a new president
#* This type of position is common to provide continuity and capture as much of the experience and relationships generated by the past president
#* Should have a vote on the board? If so, is that incompatible with term limits (Article V, Section 1)?
#* What specific responsibilities will be held by the Past President?
#* Director emeritus?
# Presently, program directors are appointed by the board of directors and have a vote on the board
#* Does this present a potential conflict (wherein a portion of the decision-making body is not directly elected by members)?
#* Should program directors be elected instead?
#* Should program directors not be given voting rights on the board?

The report shall chronicle the activities of the corporation, including specific narratives on the corporation's work, the corporation's annual financial statements, relevant legal filings, and relevant copies of the organization's [district/state] and federal tax returns.
** Option 2 (no change): The Officers must provide an annual report. The report shall chronicle the activities of the corporation, including specific narratives on the corporation's work, the corporation's annual financial statements, relevant legal filings, and relevant copies of the organization's [district/state] and federal tax returns.

== 5:50 - Proposed action on Maker Academy ==
* "Shall the board of directors have the authority to shut down Maker Academy?"
** Concern that if we give to board the power to disband this program now, that power could be used to disband any other program later (including the makerspace).
** Certain people are dumbfounded that the board can’t decide to disband something that isn’t in our Bylaws. They fail to realize that our Bylaws don’t actually mention the makerspace either though.
** Someone suggests that what should happen is that we should not disband the program and what should happen is that the Board should define what Maker Academy really does, which is a power the board has, and we should define Maker Academy as something that we can really work with.
** Jacob Walker, devICT director, clarifies that the devICT, OpenWichita, and KLF programs started as their own entities and found a home under the MakeICT umbrella, but that Maker Academy and Maker Outreach were formed within the MakeICT umbrella by membership vote.
** Laura Scholl, Maker Academy director, speaks about how Maker Academy was created with one definition, then evolved into another definition. She also states that Maker Academy has not cost the membership/organization anything financially. In fact, they made a (very small) profit.
** John Alexander/Laura Scholl - suggest creating a framework for provisional programs and their graduation
** There’s a 2 minute recess for Logan
** Laura Scholl makes a motion that we shut down Maker Academy in its current form
*** Motion is recognized and seconded
*** Barb doesn’t feel that a “political movement” is necessary, that we could simply redefine the program and take action with it.
*** There’s debate about whether or not anything about Maker Academy or Maker Outreach was ever discussed at the board level, as it was painted by Logan
** Laura withdraws her motion
** Kim makes a motion that Kirk Lancaster be tasked with defining Maker Academy and reporting back to the board in three months
*** Kirk volunteered to take on this task
*** Motion is recognized and seconded
*** After discussing James’ motion (below) Kim realizes that her motion will be sent to the membership to be voted on via SurveyMonkey. She clarifies that she was trying to create an action item, not a membership vote.
*** Kim withdraws her motion.
*** It’s agreed upon that we will not send out a vote to the membership regarding Maker Academy at least until Kirk has reported back to the board.
** {{todo|who=Kirk Lancaster|what=Define Maker Academy and what it does and report to the board.|when=On or before September 18, 2017|done=0}}

* James Lancaster proposes that we add regular meetings to the standing rules via a vote from the membership during the vote that will happen following this meeting.
** What will be voted on:
*** In connection with the rules in the bylaws for regular membership meetings, this would add one of the following sections to the standing rules:
*** 1. MakeICT shall have regular meetings every September, December, March, in addition to the annual meeting in June.
*** 2. MakeICT shall have regular meetings every December, in addition to the annual meeting in June.
*** These meetings shall be called by the board of directors in resolution, not less than 2 weeks before the meeting, such meeting will be posted in all customary physical and electronic places. They shall include short reports on what MakeICT has been doing through it's various programs and address any issues that need to be addressed.
** What the options will be:
*** No change (No regular meeting except the annual meeting)
*** Option 1 only (Meetings every 3 months)
*** Option 2 only (Meetings every 6 months)
*** Option 1 then 2 (Ok, with either, prefer every 3 months)
*** Option 2 then 1 (Ok, with either, prefer every 6 months)
** Motion is seconded and will be voted on by the membership via SurveyMonkey

Classrooms

2018-01-16T22:03:32Z

Kip: /* Software Wanted to be installed on new images */

{{needs-update|details=remodel status, area lead, equipment list all out of date}}

MakeICT's classroom is a 750 sq ft area for workshops/classes, events, and shared workspace. It will provide a modern learning environment with all the tools needed by an instructor or student for teaching or learning.

== Remodel ==
There are a few improvements planned for the classroom:
*Hallway wall - to keep the classroom isolated during classes.
*Carpet, drop ceiling, and west wall - to make the classroom modern and clean
*A/V system - so that it is plug'n'play for instructors no matter what equipment they have or use.
*PC Lab - Midrange workstations good for graphics and computation more than the laptops can handle

The first two items are happening right now, so there may be some construction going on at various times. We will attempt to keep out of the way and work around classes, but we apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

== Access Policy ==
===Classroom===
The classroom is reserved for workshops and classes according to the [http://makeict.org/calendar calendar]. It can also be reserved by members following this policy:
<blockquote>A keyed-member in good standing may host a private meeting/event at the MakeICT makerspace as long as they are not charging a fee. If any rooms or resources are to be held or if the number of non-member guests exceeds the Guest Policy allowance, a reservation must be submitted and approved 14 days in advanced. The host member is responsible/liable for activities of their guests, and all guests must follow official guest policies. There is no fee for this resource to our members, but a donation is suggested to offset facility costs.</blockquote>

Fill out the [http://makeict.org/reservations/ reservation form] to reserve the classroom for private meetings/events.

During times when it hasn't been reserved, it shall be considered a shared workspace.

===Laptops===
Members using the laptops agree to return them to the proper shelf and plug them in when finished, and keep them out of dirty and dusty areas such as the metal shop, wood shop, and ceramics room. The laptops are not to be removed from the Makerspace. To protect your personal information, it is strongly recommended to only access the internet from an Incognito window, and properly log out of all websites when finished browsing.

Kip: /* About James */

[[Category:Area Lead]]
[[File:Picture of James.jpg]]

= Contact Info =
Email: james.a.seymour@makeict.org

= About James =
James crashed on this planet during the cretaceous period due to an accident with a hot cup of coffee. Some believe he was partially responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs, The evolvement of man, and the invention of time travel (which hasn't happened yet.) He is one of the few creatures who are actually more dangerous when bored than when threatened and cornered. As of this writing he holds the records for highest voltage measured, and highest voltage electrical shock. However, at different times. This award winning artist and electrical engineer (the normal kind not the award winning kind) is currently the [[Benevolent Dictator]] over the [[Electronics and Rapid Prototyping]]. His shoot from the hip attitude initially seems irresponsible, but generally isn't. He is quite approachable, however elusive. His interests range from analogue circuits (entire frequency spectrum), programming, optics, lasers, High Voltage, woodworking, and organic chemistry. He won best of show at the WSU photography competition, due to his original style and use of GIMP. He has a blogspot blog [http://hipcatcoolcap.blogspot.com/ Hipcat's Pad] and goes through occasional bouts of updating it. He quotes a lot of pop culture so you may not have seen that movie. Note: Any pun thread James starts is a direct result of [[User:Dominic Canare|Dominic Canare]], so please place blame accordingly.

*MakeICT is not responsible for the validity of the information on this page, nor James' involvement in the evolvement of man.

* Click the link above and login with your Google account that is a member of one of the groups with access.
* Once you're logged in, give it a minute and it'll load a list of all of the upcoming classes.
* Click on the class you're checking people in for and give it a minute to load the list of registrants.
* When a registrant shows up for the class, click on the big red 'X' button next to their name and it will turn into a green check mark to indicate that they've been checked in.
** If you accidentally click the wrong name, don't worry; just click it again and it will go back to a red 'X' and un-check them in
* Please make sure that all the registrants are marked as paid and that they all have a waiver filled out.
** If the checkin tool is showing that the registrant doesn't have a waiver, or that the waiver is an old waiver, have them fill one out.
** Blank waivers can usually be found at the front of the makerspace, just below the black payment box on the wall, near the foam cutter.

* Administrators, Makerspace Program Director
=== How to use ===
* Once you have the application installed on your computer, open it.
** You will have to log in using your MakeICT.org account.
* Under the heading, there are three choices: Start with a Preset, Copy Existing, and Start from Scratch.
** Start with Preset allows you to choose from three profiles: Certification, Workshop, and Class.
** Copy Existing allows you to duplicate one of the last several events that were posted.
** Start from Scratch gives you a clean, default form.
* If the person requesting to host an event has filled out the Workshop Proposal Form, you should have all the information you need to post the event (with exception of a picture to use for the Facebook event page).
* Now you're ready to enter the basic information.
** The name of the event should be brief, but informative, and should include the name of the presenter.
*** If the event is generic, like a safety class, the name of the presenter is not necessary.
** If the location is at MakeICT, put 1500 E. Douglas in the location field.
** The description of the event can be taken from the Workshop Proposal (Response) form.
*** It should give details about what the attendee should expect to experience at the event.
*** It should also indicate whether they should bring special materials and if they need to be authorized in a certain area.
**** Simply adding "Required authorizations: Woodshop" at the bottom of the description will set a flag in the registration to tell the person they need to attend the safety class first.
** As they say, timing is everything. Enter the date and time of the event. The RSVP settings dictate the cost for members and non-members.
* Then, in the Cross Posting area, you can un-check any of the media check boxes if you do not want that type of post. Otherwise, hit "Create!" and watch the magic happen!
** Windows will open, you will need to sign in to Wild Apricot, Facebook, and Meetup, but all the information will be filled out for you.

=== How to use ===
* Once you have the application installed on your computer, open it.
** You will have to log in using your MakeICT.org account.
* Under the heading, there are three choices: Start with a Preset, Copy Existing, and Start from Scratch.
** Start with Preset allows you to choose from three profiles: Certification, Workshop, and Class.
** Copy Existing allows you to duplicate one of the last several events that were posted.
** Start from Scratch gives you a clean, default form.
* If the person requesting to host an event has filled out the Workshop Proposal Form, you should have all the information you need to post the event (with exception of a picture to use for the Facebook event page).
* Now you're ready to enter the basic information.
** The name of the event should be brief, but informative, and should include the name of the presenter.
*** If the event is generic, like a safety class, the name of the presenter is not necessary.
** If the location is at MakeICT, put 1500 E. Douglas in the location field.
** The description of the event can be taken from the Workshop Proposal (Response) form.
*** It should give details about what the attendee should expect to experience at the event.
*** It should also indicate whether they should bring special materials and if they need to be authorized in a certain area.
**** Simply adding "Required authorizations: Woodshop" at the bottom of the description will set a flag in the registration to tell the person they need to attend the safety class first.
** As they say, timing is everything. Enter the date and time of the event. The RSVP settings dictate the cost for members and non-members.
* Then, in the Cross Posting area, you can un-check any of the media check boxes if you do not want that type of post. Otherwise, hit "Create!" and watch the magic happen!
** Windows will open, you will need to sign in to Wild Apricot, Facebook, and Meetup, but all the information will be filled out for you.
* When it's done, the windows are left open for you to double check and publish.
** In the Meetup window, scroll to the bottom and click "Announce".
** In the calendar window, click on Rooms. ect and choose any rooms or resources that are needed for the event. Then save and close.

* Once you're logged in, give it a minute and it'll load a list of all of the upcoming classes.
* Click on the class you're checking people in for and give it a minute to load the list of registrants.
* When a registrant shows up for the class, click on the big red 'X' button next to their name and it will turn into a green check mark to indicate that they've been checked in.
** If you accidentally click the wrong name, don't worry; just click it again and it will go back to a red 'X' and un-check them in
* Please make sure that all the registrants are marked as paid and that they all have a waiver filled out.
** If the checkin tool is showing that the registrant doesn't have a waiver, or that the waiver is an old waiver, have them fill one out.
** Blank waivers can usually be found at the front of the makerspace, just below the black payment box on the wall, near the foam cutter.
** Waivers can also be printed off from [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VfAQ_1bXtgRWWJTZILMdOUkLEu9e-rOGeBRk6vANEy8 here].

* ''Directions on how to use it''
Once you have the application installed on your computer open it. You will have to log in using your MakeICT.org account. Under the heading there are three choices: Start with a Preset , Copy Existing , and Start from Scratch. The Start with Preset allows you to choose from three profiles: Certification, Workshop, and Class. The Copy Existing allows you to duplicate one of the last several events that were posted. The Start from Scratch gives you a clean default form.
If the person requesting to host an event has filled out the Workshop Proposal Form you should have all the information you need to post the event with exception of a picture to use for the facebook event page. Now your ready to enter the basic information. The name of the event should be brief but informative and should include the name of the presenter. If the event is generic, like a safety class, the name of the presenter is not necessary. If the location is at MakeICT put 1500 E. Douglas in the location field. The description of the event can be taken from the Workshop Proposal (Response) form. It should give details about what the attendee should expect to experience at the event. It should also indicate whether they should bring special materials and if they need to be authorized in a certain area. Simply adding Required authorizations: Woodshop at the bottom of the description will set a flag in the registration to tell the person they need to attend the safety class first.
As they say timing is everything. Enter the date and time of the event. The RSVP settings dictate the cost for members and non-members.
Then in the Cross Posting area you can un-check any of the media check boxes if you do not want that type of post. Otherwise hit Create! and watch the magic happen. Windows will open, you will need to sign in to Wild Apricot, facebook, and Meetup but all the information will be fill out for you. When it's done the windows are left open for you to double check and publish. In the Meetup window scroll to the bottom and click Announce. In the calendar window click on Rooms. ect and choose any rooms or resources that are needed for the event. Then save and close. In the facebook page click Publish.
Close all windows.
Your done. Wasn't that easy :( Well it's better than the old way. Thanks to Dominic Canare for this really helpful tool.

2017 Elections - Questions

2017-06-16T00:02:44Z

Kip:

== Questions for all candidates ==

# Can you tell people what the mission is?
# Have you read the bylaws, as well as the rules and policies, and do you understand what the responsibilities and duties for the position you are running for are?
# Our initial lease ends on March 31st of next year. How do you feel this should be and what should our priorities be in terms of trying to find a different space versus extending the lease on our current building?
## What do you think the impact of these changes will likely be?
# Do you understand that MakeICT has several programs, including the makerspace, and if you become a board member, you will be partially responsible for all of them?
# I think most of our membership either isn't aware of, or at least doesn't really understand, the current relationship between "MakeICT Institute" and the "maker space". Can you describe the current organizational structure of the MakeICT Institute and do you feel this is the right structure for our organization, or does something else makes better sense to you?
# Do you understand that you will have a duty, to put MakeICT's mission and interest above any financial or personal interest you have?
# The last few board meetings have been sometimes rancorous. It doesn't make for a great working experience, and certainly sends a bad message to the membership. How can we as a board begin to remedy that?

== Questions for President Candidates ==

# What are your thoughts about MakeICT's direction in the coming year?
# What's your agenda for what you want to accomplish in the coming year?
# Being MakeICT president is almost too much for one person, such that the vice president could (and probably should) share some of the load. How do you plan to utilize the vice president, assuming that person is able and willing?

== Questions for Vice President Candidates ==

# Are you able and willing to shoulder some of the management load of MakeICT so that the job of president isn't a full time job?
# Do you have specific suggestions on how that would happen?

== Membership ==
To become a member, attend a public MakeICT event and ask a board member for an application or [http://members.makeict.org sign up online]

Minors are allowed to become members, but require sponsorship by an adult. A parent or legal guardian must co-sign the minor's membership application and release of liability. Minors under the age of 16 need to be accompanied by an adult whenever at the space. Keys are available to members over the age of 16, following the key policy.

Cost of membership is $25/month, although scholarships are available upon request.

All members will go through a 30 day probationary period before they gain [[voting]] rights. During that period, new members are encouraged to integrate themselves into the community through attending Maker Mondays, volunteering on projects at MakeICT, attending and/or assisting with workshops, and/or joining in the chatter on the forums.

Membership will lapse after 30 days of nonpayment. Membership and [[voting]] rights will be suspended after 3 months of non-payment. To re-instate membership, pay dues for the upcoming month.

== Member Rights ==
* Members can vote at board meetings and annual meeting - see the [http://makeict.org/calendar/ calendar] for schedule
* Members are eligible to nominate, be nominated for, and hold board positions
* Members may have personal storage space on request

== Key Policy ==
Keys are handled by the [[Security Team]] who can be contacted at [mailto:security@makeict.org?Subject=Key%20Policy security@makeict.org]

== Guests ==
* Members may bring guests into the MakeICT makerspace.
* Members are responsible for their guests and their actions.
* Guests cannot inhabit the MakeICT makerspace without another keyed member present.
* Guests must be certified and have a signed waiver on file before using any equipment in the makerspace
* Guests must sign-in and obey all standing rules.
* Guests are strongly encouraged to become members.
* 3 guests or fewer do not require any type of reservation. Members may host a private meeting or event at the MakeICT makerspace as long as they are not charging a fee. If any rooms or resources are to be held or if there are more than 3 non-member guests, a reservation must be submitted and approved 14 days in advanced. The host member is responsible/liable for activities of their guests, and all guests must follow official guest policies. There is no fee for this resource to our members, but a donation is suggested to offset facility costs.
