Old Business

New Business
- Financial Report
- An answer for Rick
- Rick proposed something to us, and we have gone two weeks without providing him a response, one needs to be given and soon
- Bringing old people back
- Meetings attendance has dropped
- Why?
- Ultimately as the board, we are responsible
- Who has not shown back up in a while?
- What can we do to get them coming back?
- Why?
- Mailing List
- Lets get people on it and active
- Has anyone actually subscribed to the PSOne public list? It's teeming with activity
- Meetings attendance has dropped
- Appearance
- Current style of the main logo has been seen as too "old west" let's work on something sleek like the badge logo
- Site colors, something is not right with them, let's make the theme match the badge logo a little better
- Promotional Stuff
- We need something new, short, and sweet that describes us well
- Something that covers a wide area of description with less wording
- Our current flyer attempts to cover that wide area with too much
- The design of our current flyers also is over used, everyone uses the "WE WANT YOU" slogan
- Flyers, handouts, and other promotional stuff let's get creative
- Like these Wallet Cards, Handouts, Flyers, Tri-fold
- Promotional Day
- Let's pick a weekend that we all or several of us get together and go put up flyers and set out stacks of handouts
- Sponsors
- Twin Cities Maker has one
- Harford Hackerspace has four
Notes
Comes to Order @ 8:30pm
- John will draft an answer to Rick
- Make sure no one is left out of group conversations, don't want to alienate anyone.
- Membership, is low. Board should be communicating with people to find out why they haven't come back to meetings
- Maybe send a monthly update with pictures from meetings to show people what they are missing
- Some people may not be coming because they're waiting for us to get a space
- Group activities - Doing things as a group, movies, cook outs, dinner
- We have a lot of good ideas, but we need to execute them
- Potential Sponsors for the group
- We wouldn't want to depend on sponsors to pay the bills
- How would we go about it
- Do we want sponsors?
- Our group logo
- We need something that isn't as busy, but eye catching
