Tentative agenda:

• Space crawl got pushed back. Let's re-cap our top choices, and review any new potential spots.
• Collecting dues and donations. Are we ready?
• Bank account (might be) ready.
• Do we need to choose a definite space first?
  
• Time to set hard dates for choosing a space and signing the lease.
  
• Devision of Space
• How are we going to use the space?
• Who's going to SummerCon? We'll be presenting Freeside. http://summercon.org/presentations.html
  
• Who's going to DEFCON? (Did the hacker space panel spot happen?)
  
• Where da logo at?
• Review of Potential Projects

Meeting notes:

• We're semi-blocking on space crawl
• Need a majority of people to look at spaces so we can decide
• Maybe do a meta-crawl via better pictures/videos with online voting
• We're voting on a space in NEXT WEEK'S MEETING.  BE THERE IF YOU HAVE AN OPINION

• Summer-con this weekend
  
• Eater speaking
• Talking points:
  
• Distinction between our space and other spaces
• Physical space
• Equal parts: sw/hw/security hackers

• Logo stuff
• Lots of people like eater's barcode logo.  Let's clean it up.
• Mandie MIA
• Also discussed converting barcode to a fancy-smancy 2D one
• Maybe make some vector shapes that represent what we're trying to do (i.e. something that represents software/hardware/security) and make the logo reconfigurable?
• Simple is good
• Less color is good (cheaper for stickers/tshirts/etc)

Other stuff:

Had a blast last night! We came up with a plan for the very near future. The next few days will be busy for Freeside.

- John has a (tentative?) appointment Wednesday at noon to check out two new potential spaces.

- Raiford and I will be opening the bank account on Thursday.

- Logan and I will be revisiting the Laredo property on Friday at 10AM (tentative).

- Dan (or someone else?) is going to further investigate the Metro warehouses.

- We ALL need to update http://wiki.freesideatlanta.org/best-spaces with our favorites -- and ample detail -- BEFORE END-OF-DAY FRIDAY.

- Saturday is SummerCon. We'll be talking about Freeside at 4:15PM.

- WE WILL VOTE ON SPACES AT NEXT MONDAY'S MEETING. We'll arrange a proxy voting system for those who can't attend in person. The people currently on the "first 50" list will get votes.

- Next Monday's meeting will be at Manuel's at 7:30PM, as usual, but we'll be in the "Eagle's Nest" room. Be there -- it's probably the most important meeting we'll have before moving into our space.

After the next meeting, we should have a ranked list of our favorite properties. Negotiations for a lease will begin immediately thereafter.

Exciting, right?

Cheers!
Eater
