• Our insurance requires our members be 18 or older.
• This is to clarify this in our bylaws, which are currently somewhat confusing

Proposal:
Change the Bylaws Article 3 Section 3 from "Members shall be of the age of majority in this state, or have the written consent of a legal guardian;" to "Members shall be of the age of majority in this state;"
Moved by Alec, Seconded by Emily

Zone updates

Compute Zone

• Had a report of a lot of noise coming from the large format printer, like a fan having issues or something. Please let James know if you notice any problems with it.

Craft Room

• Sewing
• The 120x120 embroidery hoop that was gifted to us to replace the missing 100x100 hoop, is missing. (Really upset frowny face here) It is not known yet when it was last seen but when we know, there will be a camera review to identify what happened. If you saw or used it recently, please help us out.
• Also, the craft room will be getting a check list of shut down tasks when closing up work to help with returning things for the next user. It is requested that the embroidery hoops not leave the craft room or media lab. They have no use outside the room, so that also helps reduce scope of where to look. The zone coordinator shouldn't have to take these measures with adults but clearly we have a problem. Super disappointed.
• Our Imagine serger will have 6 new feet available for it. Their use will be demonstrated and used during the demo day in January. Please see Craft Room/Sewing coordinator for info on them."Do more creative techniques with your Baby Lock serger when you add additional feet. This kit contains a blindhem foot, 3mm cording foot, 5mm cording foot, elastic foot, beading foot, and ruffling foot."
• The next thing to go missing from the craft room will be replaced by one encased in resin and embedded in the wall. :-)

Laser Zone

• Bumblebee and Wolverine now have wi-fi-based usage logging to track how much actual time they run for. Data can be viewed while on the i3 network here.
