It seems obvious that PRS deserves official recognition due to its value to so many members of the space. It is also obvious that PRS exists in the context of other activities and projects that also need to share limited resources. Power Racing used to advertise Power Racing Office Hours (PROO) but the last calendar entry for this event is April 8th 2019, nearly a year before the pandemic shut everything down. PRS meetings in the space are now infrequent and announced spontaneously and with little lead time in the PS:1#power-racing-team discord channel. Looking through the old slack channel also shows a similar lack of regularity and a gradual decline in activity. Supporters of the Power Racing Series should be concerned with these trends.

Will McShane has been running Analog Game Night since <date>. During the Pandemic, he created the discord server Analog Game Night: Online (which predates the PS:1 Discord). It was extremely well attended as one of the few community activities available while the space was closed under lockdown. He donated a large set of metal drawers to the space lounge to store games in between events. <Add more>
