• Skot: Reachout received from Newcastle non-festival bunch… no money

• Door is online, 5 cards on the door when brett went away, 3 have been reconciled, one has not been used, the other is probably Nathan.

• Committee received writeup that Skot did, eg recovery of costs, free community training etc
• Daniel trying to convince GNU cash to produce numbers that we like that don't make us look like we're making a loss. Will resort to manual treasurer’s report.
• We are paying the GST component, that looks good.

• Skot spoke with Chris AV who was under the impression that Anton was handling something.. Chris will contact again and report back with what we should be doing.
• Skot has been meaning to speak with the arts officer who got the men's shed up and running.

• Use the last one that Brendan made, clean up the text, go with it.
• Jenna look at wiki and drop box, suggest edits and stuff.

• Burning man crew have been meeting here, $150 in drinks etc last time.. second meeting didn't go so well for the space because of no one explaining the donations and drinks properly.. mainly because of one person.
• Their agm will have to be here.
• Skot to clarify usage fees with them

• worth it?? Could go either way!
• Peter D talked to Peter Hanay.. looks like it's under control
• Brendan wary of some activity of their website.
• If it's like hope or ccc, then AMAZING
• but also Brett and Jenna have come back with unpleasant stories from Canberra hackerspace..
• Peter D will check it out.

• Peter D was contacted by someone into open source software, may want to hold a talk, will sort out usage fees, could make up money on the bar. Sounds perfectly relevant.

• Working! Sort of.. babysit it! Could possibly get stuck on the heating cycle, boil its contents. Washing machine next!

• No proper coffee machine! Nothing that makes us look like we should have a good kitchen. Skot please let that guy down.

• Alternative: assemble a fleet of bicycles and hook up with the local coffee shops! Possibly offer lasercutting etc

• Anton needs to be paid for the amp before we start buying more things
• Steeple fund to get the sound system up to scratch..
• Maintenence requires money in the system.. Brendan says wait,
• Skot says capitalise now to bring the members now so that we will have money later.
• Jason says put the steeple fund in front of the people who come in and enjoy the sound system that we have.

• Skot spoke to instant waste, they will monitor the weight.

We should be aware that heavy stuff can hurt our moneys.

• Long-term equipment storage outside AV office needs to be addressed.

• Condense to 2 levels, push the casual payments for students.
• Many other spaces have a probationary period.
