+* Mini Maker Faire Chicago Northside table? http://makerfairechicagonorthside.com/
+* 3d printing experience cross-pollination of some kind?
+* Job board for external entities to list jobs on, paid, time limited? Both a resource for our members and a source of revenue.
+* Eye wash stations? https://pr.vwr.com/store/catalog/product.jsp?product_id=4615599 This seems important and for safety.
 ==== Old Business ====
-* Kitchen build out. What were we planning on discussing about this that we didn’t get a chance to last week?
-** Will get permits as we go, and will install electrical infrastructure after building the wall.
+* Audit status/ Status of repayments / New historical books ('''Indiana Steve''')
-** We are zoned C1-2 according to the city of chicago data portal. Are we subject to http://www.cityofchicago.org/content/dam/city/depts/bacp/general/Shared_Kitchen_Fact_Sheet_v.11.14.12.pdf or similar rules if we construct a kitchen? We do not intend to allow members to sell foods that they produce in the space; this would clearly subject us to significant overhead.
+* Wiki status: Migration, Backups? ('''Josh''') - Eric, Steve, and Josh have been talking to Singlehop about getting us a cheaper deal on a decent VPS. Any progress? New servers are in place at PS1.
-* Audit status/ Status of repayments  / New historical books ('''Indiana Steve''')

 * Electrician to fix not-up-to-code issues. How much can we spend on this? It's (in '''Eric''''s opinion) a pre-requisite to doing shop improvements including putting up walls for specific areas. '''Eric''' can negotiate with the electrician, bring quote back to the board.
-** Board generally approves this. Eric will come back with proper quote ('''Eric''').
+** Board generally approves this. Eric will come back with proper quote ('''Eric'''). He's working on the TODO list at [[3519 Electrical Work]].
 ==== Backburner ====
-* Change our address everywhere (List of places here: https://atrium.schoolfactory.org/ps1/node/104580)
+* Status of money owed by the old landlord. ('''Tim'''). Eric will request update on this.
-* inventory and ownership status of old landlord's stuff left on our side.
-* Check in with Area hosts about their ideas for the tool certification process at their next meeting. ('''Tim''')
 * information fragmentation (wiki, gdocs, calendars, dropbox, mailing lists)
 * move the annual meeting to december in the bylaws.
-* Dwolla as a payment option? Some people hate paypal enough to not join. Don't do this if you can't set up a subscription in it.
 * Go over the "Things the next board should deal with" list from the meeting of the 15th, it has a lot of stuff we have to be aware of.
