Other business (items not covered by regular meeting sections) may be added to this section up to 48 hours before start of committee meeting.

One of the 2.5“ 450G SAS drives in the server has failed and needs to be replaced.

Authorise the IT subcommittee to purchase a replacement drive provided that the IT Officer deems the cost reasonable.

The tube in Little Red is beyond usable and needs to be replaced. Fundraising within the Laser Subcommittee has produced $500 for a replacement.

Authorise the Laser Subcomittee to purchase a new tube for Little Red provided that the cost is under $500 and deemed reasonable by the head of the Laser Subcommittee

We've recently received $1000 from Gage Roads/Alby nominally for CAD room upgrades and workshop expenses. A good use of some of this money would be subscribing to Vectric's Makerspace program.

https://www.vectric.com/support/makerspace-sign-up

• US$100/yr
• 5 copies of VCarve Pro for the space
• Unlimited number of “client” VCarve licenses for use on member's personal computers. Client version can be used for design and files saved in a “locked” state that can be unlocked by VCarve in the space.

Authorise the IT Subcommittee to spend US$100 for the purchase of a Vectric Makerspace subscription

One of our semi-regular event hosts PikaPi/Hayley typically brings 10 heat guns for her cosplay workshops. Power distribution for this many high draw tools in one area currently requires disrupting multiple high use areas of the space. Running 15A distribution from the front and rear of the warehouse should neatly solve this problem.

2x 15A 4 port portable power block 98.80/ea 1x 15A 15m extension lead $32.92

Authorise the Infrastructure subcommittee to spend $231 on 15A distribution equipment

The Artifactory is a foundation member of https://www.swancommunityworkshops.org.au/ but we don't seem to have received a proper update of our involvement from Nick. (who appears to have been representing us) The 2018-2019 committee did not receive any information regarding SCW and we need to send someone along to their upcoming AGM to figure out what is actually going on.

Authorise Fletcher Boyd and an authorised representative to exclusively represent The Artifactory at the SCW/CHCW AGM

We have received a donation of monitors that are potentially surplus to requirements within the space. (Currently stored in the CAD room)

Authorise the IT Officer to sell the surplus monitors at a price deemed reasonable by the IT Officer and two committee members

The current label maker is slow and inconvenient to use. Propose to purchase a desktop label printer and connect it to a Raspberry Pi web-server. This would allow members to quickly print labels of various sizes, including detailed black-and-white images. Further notes have been posted to the committee channel, and to OpenLabelmaker.

• Brother QL-700 Desktop Label printer ($99)
• Raspberry Pi Zero W ($21), USB adaptor ($5.00), micro SD card ($8.50)
• RFID reader ($5.50), Arduino nano ($3.00)

Authorise Vincent Dalstra to spend $142 on a Desktop Label Printer & peripherals

Not everyone should be able to speak with businesses on behalf the space. This officer role endeavours to solve that issue.

Define the Resource Officer role with the following duties:

• Open and administer trade accounts on behalf of The Artifactory provided that they do not include a line of credit.
• Authorised to communicate with suppliers and commercial donors on behalf of The Artifactory.

Any actions authorised by this role must be documented in a manner dictated by the Treasurer.

Appoint Vincent D, Jason K, Beau D, Joshua R, Iain G, Fletcher B, Mel M, Scott S as resource officers

There are consumables/material that are commonly used by members that are cheaper when imported or bought in bulk. If The Artifactory stocks/sells some of these items it would be a benefit to members. A small markup would help justify the time spent by volunteers.

Authorise the Treasurer to set up a purchase/sale program within the space with pricing set at their discretion.

Modify the Artifactory Expenses By-Law to include the following as a purchase authorisation:

• Material for the sale to the value of $250 at discretion of Fletcher, with view to evaluate at next meeting.
