Space & Zone Discussions

  • Need to locate a qualified volunteer to assist with this during the next Potlock in October.

Committee Reports

Safety & Compliance Committee

• Classroom door should swing outwards for safety exit.
• Dust collector should be cleaned more frequently.
  • Would be good to check these at least annually. Place a label on it when last checked.
• Would be helpful if general maintenance items were kept up on and noted.

Moderation Committee

• Uptick in spam hitting contact@, but most is still caught by google's filter.
• Spammer join attempts to -public continue at a low level.
• Actual moderation on lists hasn't been necessary lately. Phew!
• A little bit of off-list help for folks posting to -announce, etc. Pretty quiet overall.
