= intros =<br />
if you had a magic wand, what would you make it do?<br />
* Jessie: abolish capitialsm. Don't make me explain how wands do that. I dunno. <br />
* 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!<br />
* max, wanna make underwater drones here, efficient & light power storage<br />
* kelvin, bioinformatics to regulate your body and stuff<br />
* 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. <br />
* yar, a turkey sandwich like in the simpsons episode. everything else could go wrong somehow. maybe an elevator at the omni<br />
* ed, wants to reverse the expansion of the universe<br />
* jenny, abolish patriarchy also. hmm.<br />
* sierk, something about occupy & honolulu, idk<br />
* ryan, eradicate the people who keep disrespecting "do not hack" signs<br />
* daniel, i'd make myself always assume everyone has good intentions<br />
* matt, manic organizing & sorting, make more magic wands, or something arbitrary like saving his own life in a pinch<br />
* matthew, delegate the decision to someone who's not a complete mess<br />
* 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<br />
<br />
= announcements =<br />
* preparing to buy the omni. learning about the legal options. meeting mondays at 6:30. soon will have a building-wide conversation about it. July 23rd special omni general meeting / Q&A on this subject<br />
* omni plans to schedule a fire inspection soon. yes there are lists of code violations to fix, on paper in every single room.<br />
** Hinge party to bring ballroom doors up to code on Friday at noon. rehanging doors so they close properly ala fire code<br />
* New Donation ready to pick up: includes cisco switches, server rails, UPSs, four post rack shelf, lcd flat displays (nice ones), etc. will require one w a truck or car w good space. Would have to go trough donation process: about six cisco switches. email images to juul, on monday. - Ask daniel-a for more deets.<br />
* sunday morning basement cleaning party, maybe make room for bike storage<br />
* radical therapy workshop this friday at 6: https://omnicommons.org/calendar/events/radical-therapy-workshop/<br />
* come to linux installfest fridays! put it on your own cpu or help maintain all the omni public terminals<br />
* hillary bought 15 keyboards for the netbooks, yay!<br />
<br />

=== discussion ===<br />
* vancouver hackspace got a lot of new members from parties<br />
* ryan: problem with newbie night was people power but if we do it monthly or biweekly maybe that would be easier<br />
<br />
= new members =<br />
<br />
=== max schwartz ===<br />
* gonna have a mech engineering degree soon hopefully. likes radio controlled stuff & helicopters & underwater things.<br />
* 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<br />
* why? some space to work on projects<br />
* hwat hack? underwater robotics, drone type things, stealing your coax<br />
* what share? anything with radio controlled stuff, servos, wifi video<br />
* q1: i don't know<br />
* q2: we could just eat algea, right? we'll be fine<br />
* q3: live underground and never release any transmissions<br />
* values: don't know a lot. more philosophy than i expected<br />
* history: pretty new, couple years<br />
* omni sos: know nothing<br />
* omni ssp: just read it and seems legit<br />
* never been to a hackerspace or collective, therefore not banned<br />
* not a cop or a cat<br />
* happy: i like boats, sailboats<br />
* how big is your sailboat: 29 feet<br />
* ed: are you aware we have no money and we need your money? max: $60 sounds good, we can do that.<br />
* 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.<br />
* 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.<br />
* will they be open source? yeah! you can pipe in live oceanographic video into an 8th grade classroom or whatever.<br />
* will think of a nym to disambiguate from other maxes<br />
<br />

<br />
= lockers =<br />
* ryan bought bolt cutters<br />
* matt labelled lockers, thinks we should buy locks to pre-lock them, and give keys to people when they start paying<br />
* ryan: it should be need-based. what are you able to pay? how much do you need to store?<br />
* matt: how about asking for exceptions like with membership?<br />
* yar: i would love a smaller locker, i don't need as much storage space as i have right now<br />
* matt: how about figure out the volume of those $30/mo lockers and price the others relative to those?<br />
*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.<br />
* ryan: i need secure wood storage for large pieces that i cut. wouldn't fit in a locker<br />
*Jessie: (omni secure storage? not a good permaoption but...)<br />
* matt: rob & i will figure out pricing for lockers, maybe patch up the harry potter closet, padlock it, turn into all-member storage<br />
* ryan: wouldn't be big enough for my stuff<br />
* yar: has anyone mined the info@ emails yet to figure out which of them are actually claimed?<br />
* matt: not yet, another to-do<br />
* yar: how private is the locker info? we shouldn't post a list publically of who uses what locker, right?<br />
** two lists - who has a locker, and what lockers are used?<br />
* also make distinction between personal storage and sudo/omni projects<br />
