New Business

2000 Pound Machine?
- Stirling or weight?
  - weight
- It is a plastic shredder, tldr.
  - Books brought it in.
  - Came from the Haddon space, was evicted.
  - Dave has given it temporary permission to be in Cold Metals while it gets reduced in size.
- Joe asks if it is a loaned tool or a donated tool?
  - It is a member project.
- It is quite dangerous, possibly, if it works.
  - "It looks angry" - James
- Fidel asks how many signs we have on it?
  - Not enough. But its fine it doesn't work yet.
- Carl would like to be clear that anything that sounds like encouragement from him has been misconstrued. This is *not* another coffee maker.
- Ron didn't even know it existed until he was asked to help. He was very happy to see the camaraderie that happened to get it unloaded.
  - Special mention to Sam who helped weld on fork pockets while it was still on the truck!
    - That also means it is easier to get back out.

Votes on hold
- Survey monkey got stupid expensive
- We are working on replacing it with a new vote tool that Carl, Weasel, and Ron have been working on helping a DePaul professor update.
  - should be ready soon.
  - Some discussion ensued about the answers.

Need to post threads asking Director at Large nominations.
- Joe will take care of it.
