## Director Reports
|
||||
|
||||
### President's Report
|
||||
|
||||
As reported last month, the BoD has approved accepting the donation of a
|
||||
Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The SEM is now ready to be picked up
|
||||
and we have about three weeks to collect it. It is currently in Norfolk,
|
||||
VA and is a large, heavy piece of equipment. We will need to rent/borrow
|
||||
a truck (ideally one with a lift-gate) to transport it up to HacDC, and
|
||||
we'll need several strong volunteers to help us load, and unload the
|
||||
truck (including bringing it up the stairs and into the workshop).
|
||||
Additionally, we will need some help making space for it in the
|
||||
workshop. **We are currently shooting for Saturday, March 29th.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Vice President's Report
|
||||
|
||||
admin team is accepting donations of gigabit network switches. we need
|
||||
both managed and unmanaged switches. one managed switch with 20+ ports
|
||||
which is for the church network. we are getting the space wired for
|
||||
gigabit ethernet so cat5e and cat6 keystone jacks and and wall plates
|
||||
are welcome.
|
||||
|
||||
### Treasurer's Report

||||
|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
dues-waived members, four temporarily dues-waived members, and five

|
||||
|
||||
#### Project Awesome
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the Project Awesome spreadsheet for February:
|
||||
.
|
||||
Once again we are in the red for the month, so there is no Project
|
||||
Awesome dividend. :(
|
||||
|
||||
### Secretary's Report
|
||||
|
||||
NonHacDC calendar is being populated. Need to put it in a more public
|
||||
place and open it up to members for editing. Otherwise nothing
|
||||
significant to report.
|
||||
|
||||
### Director-at-Large Reports
|
||||
|
||||
No report.
|
||||
|
||||
## [Project Awesome](:Category:Project_Awesome "wikilink") Reports
|
||||
|
||||
### Project LASER
|
||||
|
||||
Dan: Optical maintenance; cleaning lenses, tightening things, etc. Found
|
||||
the aluminum track is wearing and has some play. Will try to flip them
|
||||
to use the other side, otherwise will purchase new tracks. This is
|
||||
expected, normal wear. Aiming laser and combining optic is here, but
|
||||
dust is still a problem. Will add air flushing to all optical
|
||||
components. Thanks to those who worked on the alignment. The idea of
|
||||
having jigs underneath is being put off. The cabinet will need to be
|
||||
reworked first.
|
||||
|
||||
### Project BYZANTIUM
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing new to report.
|
||||
|
||||
### Project KITBUILD
|
||||
|
||||
Nothing new to report.
|
||||
|
||||
### Project SUPPLIES
|
||||
|
||||
Still healthy and stable. A few expenses this month, related to lighting
|
||||
the new shelves.
|
||||
|
||||
### Project EXPANSION
|
||||
|
||||
We may be able to afford a small vertical bandsaw for about \$100,
|
||||
similar to the one we had before. This would help cutting stock
|
||||
materials for CNC mill, laser cutter, photolithography fab, etc. Any
|
||||
suggestions or objections? Dan: reminds Mirage that we'd like ink for
|
||||
the inkjet plotter in the basement.
|
||||
|
||||
### Project SPACECAM
|
||||
|
||||
Kevin: comments on Rob's donation list, very interested in the
|
||||
projectors and the scanning/projecting white boards. WebRTC is what will
|
||||
hopefully replace Hangouts in the future. Please check it out.
|
||||

||||

|

### Dan

New acrylic colors in stock. Non-rastering cutting is working fine
