Profit and loss statement is now in good shape and was shown to meeting attendees.

Net profit of: $1500 this month.

Largest portion of expenses is cleaning, electricity, voted items and financial operations.

92 paying subscribers.

New subscribers are trending downward, as per usual towards the end of year.

Savings accounts will be set up for teams. This requires a physical visit to the bank. This will be done before Christmas.

Landlords are trying to push more costs onto us. We are collaborating with team arrow and men’s shed which has gone up substantially. Water charges primarily consists of access charges, not usage.

The building has been assessed by the landlord and they may be looking at passing on costs to us to bring the building up to code.

The landlord will produce a hazard report, essentially a WHS audit.

From 4pm on Sunday the 18th the carpark is being used for an event. Members to avoid the site during this period.

Yag is being decoded to rebrain.

Working on dust collection system. 80% of blast gates have been changed with new ones. They have been quite reliable. Automation should be deployed by the end of the year.

Let Ale know if you need an induction for a machine ahead of time as he currently has car issues.

Attend the Monday woodshop team gathering night if you’re interested in engaging in volunteering.

Alex was away most of the last month. Fraser ran the forge team meeting.

Everyone has been keeping up with their duties.

Fraser is making progress on the small stock shelving making it easier to keep it orgaised.

Up to 4 forging hammers that have been made over the past few months. Going to start branching out tool manufacturing.

Next meeting is this Sunday morning.

Forge area is functional, but could always find jobs for more volunteers.

Needs help with plumbing to install a sink. Sink was received for free and collected by Kyia.

Sublimation printer has had a new member inducted.

A new volunteer has volunteered to look after the sublimation printer.

Still in need of volunteers and better engagement with volunteers.

Sandblaster cabinet has been installed. Wiki page needs to be written. Might make sense to transfer the tool to metalshop ownership.

Mechanical area has had good use. Need to get feedback on what to add to the area to improve functionality to members.

Update on progress of each action item from previous meeting

Update on lounge and consoles

Consoles in front cabinets have been removed. Old consoles will be emulated on the Pi.

If you have questions on getting a console to work, contact Tim (@catprog on discord)

Tim needs assistance with arranging things.

Added new items to vending machines

Dr Pepper, multiple Fanta flavours added that will be distributed at random.

Dave Seff is looking to take on infrastructure role. Handover is slow.

We need people to help out with infrastructure. Please contact the executive or committee to help.

Skills in linux servers, docker and python are highly needed.

We have home automation tasks that we need help with.

Vending machines have been moved. We have room in the foyer and need to think about how to make that an attractive area for new members. Current idea it to make it a showcase area/museum.

Looking to convert current digifab room into a store where you can buy tooling, consumables, sheet materials, sublimation supplies, etc.

Looking for help to set up the store and run it.

Quotes must be obtained for the equipment. Allow for shipping.
