Old Business

From 2024-04-25

• Action Item: Add David to finances email (Bob will ping Jeff Sittler)
  • Update 2024-05-02: Jeff has added David to the appropriate message groups.
• Action Item: Bob to red-tag (wood in welding area)
  • Update 2024-05-02: Bob moved the wood so it is not in the way of storing the welding table, and added a parking ticket. He intends to make some risers for the front window display area. The parking permit has today's date and a recommended disposal date of June if not used by then.
• Action Item: Beau is free to install OctoPrint on the Longer LK5 Pro.
  • Update: OctoPrint is installed and working, and the printer has a camera now.
  • Update2: Beau was also working on getting it up on Slack. It's not going to work for now.
    • It allows both viewing and the ability for admins to stop broken prints (which is of dubious value).
    • Beau thinks (others concur) the Slack connection is not critical.
• Action Item: Bob to put up a screen driven by a Raspi with 6 panes of the most "Welcome to HeatSync, stranger" style events (lego day, gaming nights, etc).
  • Update 2024-05-02: Upon further investigation, Bob found that his idea is a bit undercooked compared to contemporary retail window display standards. He is working with others to try something a bit more professional looking. See: Window Display
• Action Item: Bob to contact CPA to request update.

Proposals

Wiki Upgrade

Proposal By: Bob Bushman

The new wiki is live (this is it). I have a point version upgrade to do and a bit of documentation, and it will be fully live.

I propose that we point wiki.heatsynclabs.org at heatsynclabs.wiki.

Delayed, Not posted correctly: Needs to be posted to Google Group with brackets around "Proposal".

Square Account

Proposal By: Bob Bushman

In my new events I am selling things (proceeds going to HSL). Currently I only accept cash. I'd like to accept cards. Square charges $0.30 + 3.5% and we use it happily at Bike Saviours.

I'm going to set up an account that I can use for my events. I'd like to set it up in HSL's name (or someone else can, if they want), so the money goes straight to HSL's account. If that isn't acceptable, I will make my own account and pass the cash through, but that seems overly complex and unhelpful to anyone else who wants to sell things on behalf of HSL.

I propose that HeatSync opens a Square account and gets one of those headphone jack credit card swipe thingies.

PayPal Here might be a swipe POS solution for us without getting a Square account.
