   Paper calendars? 

   Does summer hackerspacing have a repelling effect on folks?

   Field trips and outdoor excursions

   Saturday night dance parties

Landlord Situation

   [Possibly postponed] Landlord situation 

   Update them on the state of the access system 

   Trash/recycling - we need a key for access to the trash 

   George doesn't want to give the key to people because he doesn't trust us to properly sort the trash. 

   We need to be able to access the trash.  

   Suggest requests be made in writing, a little more formalized,  because there  are often folks in the space he addresses who are new to  the  community. 

   Suggest a monthly in-person check-in instead! 

   Immediately write down what George requests and forward it along to him and sudo-discuss for confirmation.

Membership Benefits

    [possibly postponed] discussion around membership benefits https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Membership_Benefits_Discussion (has infographic)

    Probationary period for new members, upon which 24/7 access is granted 

    Let's ship something soon, and its imperfection will enrage those willing to hack on it =)
