General Discussion
- Laser safety: PSA will be posted reiterating laser must me attended at all times. Tim Miller will investigate an automatic fire extinguisher that would be mounted above the laser.
- SME concept discussed: some makerspaces have 'subject matter experts' for various areas. Amy suggested on Google group that we consider it. Good, thought provoking idea. Tabled for further discussion.
- Above discussion lead to discussion about how to incentivize members to teach, share what they know. Some are in favor of incentives and or/teachers making money from teaching. Some are not. Amy and Danielle will discuss offline.
