intros

if you had a magic wand, what would you make it do?

Jessie: abolish capitialsm. Don't make me explain how wands do that. I dunno.
Andrew - works at Lawrence Hall of Science, previously a member of Vancouver HackSpace, took a break from hackspaces for the past year, finally made it here!
max, wanna make underwater drones here, efficient & light power storage
kelvin, bioinformatics to regulate your body and stuff
lesley: abolish capitalism, I'll second jessie. And establish a freer resource-based economy, which would make almost everything else I could list here more do-able.
yar, a turkey sandwich like in the simpsons episode. everything else could go wrong somehow. maybe an elevator at the omni
ed, wants to reverse the expansion of the universe
jenny, abolish patriarchy also. hmm.
sierk, something about occupy & honolulu, idk
ryan, eradicate the people who keep disrespecting "do not hack" signs
daniel, i'd make myself always assume everyone has good intentions
matt, manic organizing & sorting, make more magic wands, or something arbitrary like saving his own life in a pinch
matthew, delegate the decision to someone who's not a complete mess
rob, wants a star trek transporter instead of an elevator, hacking on lighting etc, i'd invoke perpetual lulz upon the world. but not the nefarious kind at other peoples' expenses

vancouver hackspace got a lot of new members from parties
ryan: problem with newbie night was people power but if we do it monthly or biweekly maybe that would be easier

gonna have a mech engineering degree soon hopefully. likes radio controlled stuff & helicopters & underwater things.
wandered in and there was nobody in here, then i sat around and matt showed up and i helped get rid of ewaste, then i came here
why? some space to work on projects
hwat hack? underwater robotics, drone type things, stealing your coax
what share? anything with radio controlled stuff, servos, wifi video
q1: i don't know
q2: we could just eat algea, right? we'll be fine
q3: live underground and never release any transmissions
values: don't know a lot. more philosophy than i expected
history: pretty new, couple years
omni sos: know nothing
omni ssp: just read it and seems legit
never been to a hackerspace or collective, therefore not banned
not a cop or a cat
happy: i like boats, sailboats
how big is your sailboat: 29 feet
ed: are you aware we have no money and we need your money? max: $60 sounds good, we can do that.
saw sudoroom online, was looking at other hackerspaces. everyone else was either welding huge stuff or sitting around on computers all day. i wanted something inbetween. live in oakland.
ideally i'll have a lot of underwater drones in a network in the ocean. you can sell time to scientists like with a giant telescope.
will they be open source? yeah! you can pipe in live oceanographic video into an 8th grade classroom or whatever.
will think of a nym to disambiguate from other maxes

ryan bought bolt cutters
matt labelled lockers, thinks we should buy locks to pre-lock them, and give keys to people when they start paying
ryan: it should be need-based. what are you able to pay? how much do you need to store?
matt: how about asking for exceptions like with membership?
yar: i would love a smaller locker, i don't need as much storage space as i have right now
matt: how about figure out the volume of those $30/mo lockers and price the others relative to those?
Jessie: I'll take a tape measure to them and get back to people. Just an answer for volume, no opinion on how to price, jazz hands for the need based excpetions idea.
ryan: i need secure wood storage for large pieces that i cut. wouldn't fit in a locker
Jessie: (omni secure storage? not a good permaoption but...)
matt: rob & i will figure out pricing for lockers, maybe patch up the harry potter closet, padlock it, turn into all-member storage
ryan: wouldn't be big enough for my stuff
yar: has anyone mined the info@ emails yet to figure out which of them are actually claimed?
matt: not yet, another to-do
yar: how private is the locker info? we shouldn't post a list publically of who uses what locker, right?
- two lists - who has a locker, and what lockers are used?
also make distinction between personal storage and sudo/omni projects
