Agenda

Old Business

• Bylaws
  • Finish up bylaws pertaining to the membership
  • Flesh out the individual duties of the remaining positions
• Bank Account
  • Possible account with Southeast Financial a credit union
  • We need to get a few things together in order to open an account, see File:Southeast Financial Business Account Info.pdf
• Space
  • If we are going to have a bank account soon, our next thing is to start looking at spaces
  • When is everyone free to go around and scope out some areas and pick up some numbers to contact?
  • A wiki page needs to be started for this that lays out brief descriptions of locations and contact info
• Dues
  • Hacker Consortium
    • $100 - joining fee, keeps people from dropping in and out regularly
    • $40/month - after
    • No student rate
    • If board sees fit, as a whole they are allowed to create new tiers on the fly (i.e. a member had a wreck and can't pay at the moment)
  • Freeside Atlanta
    • $80/month - regular
    • $40/month - student
    • They are hard set on their dues, but as a result they have a really awesome space
  • Makers Local 256
    • Some pay $300, others $100, some $30
    • They ask that you pay what you think your time is worth, but that leaves it to other members to pickup the slack
    • As a result they have members who pay a lot more and that member gets to have a little/lot more say in things
  • Pumping Station: One
    • $50 - regular
    • $30 - starving maker
    • They've had some setup before where unemployed members may not pay, but I believe they regularly do the starving maker fee
