 Minutes:
+* The wood shop and metal shop should be two separate areas
+* The certification program is broken.
+** too many people are using things without certification
+** Nobody enforces required certification
+** How do I get certified is the next question.  We have to have an answer.  Once a month classes?
+** There's a lot of latent demand for certification, especially in the metal shop.
+** The current problem is awareness of the options available for learning things.
+** Signs used to work in the old shop, maybe we need more signs.  With people's pictures on them.
+** Set up machines with rfid readers to prevent uncertified users
+** grace period after certification where a trainer checks their setup before they start working?
+** Need a simplified manual for the tools that users can learn from on their own.
+** Give them a physical copy of the manuals.
+* We should get a vending machine for tooling / electronic parts
+* Area hosts should provide a list of essential infrastructure by our next meeting
+* Should we use the wiki or something easier?  (google docs?)
+* Next meeting in three weeks.  (All area hosts' TODO)
+* create a google group and public email forward to the area hosts. (Tim's TODO)
