Concerns about subletting:
Possibly threatens our nonprofit status
- shouldn't, still obviously about education & outreach
Options: 1. We take the whole space 2. we sublet from Nahas 3. We sublet part and Chris sublets part
- contract drawn up, signed
- no guarantee people would like it in the future
- walls will have to be built, more complexity & risk
Makerspaces are acommercial
- not necessarily anticommercial
- some members don't want to subsidize businesses
- Gives us the ability to grow
- will get more members in the fall and winter
- Growth equals problems (herding cats, etc)
- don't want to be the London Hackerspace
- forcing issues/deadlines seem antiethical to hackerspaces
Time pressure
- "for $600/month, we could buy some cool shit"
- warehouse nearby has 30,000 sq ft for rent
- another building would be awesome, but more responsibilities
- Not our mission to be a landlord
- we've adjusted to large projects in the past
We can not afford it -Vic
- can't assume more space equals more members
- members could pledge a years worth of money, if the money comes close to pledging enough, we could get the space
- we could get a grant/s to help cover
- all that is moot with the deadline
John Perry writes grants
- getting a unimog to make compost with
14 members paying $40/month would cover it
- Still could work with Adam Nahas later on
- if the option comes up again, we could relook at it
Misc.
Clean up date sometime in September
- decide things to keep, sell, trash…
Adam Nahaus has other things going on, we will see what happens
Lift Placement
- general consensus is 45°
Vote:
To rent the warehouse
- Aye: Heath, Dave, Joey
- Nay: Chris, Nathan, Neal, Steve, David, Kyle, Jay
- Not voting: Apple
