Consent Agenda

Cameras for Classrooms (Brooks Scharff & Stan Simmons)

Problem: There have been several instances of theft and vandalism in the classrooms, and the Classroom committee has requested cameras be installed in each of the three classrooms (reference ticket R-000276). This was previously passed during the 2/16/2016 BoD meeting, but before they got installed the new Classroom Chair (who had a philosophical distaste for cameras) directed Infrastructure to install them elsewhere.

Solution: Allocate $600 to Infrastructure for the purchase and installation of three security cameras, one for each classroom.

Relevance: Operational cost to prevent theft and vandalism.

Double-wide for 3d Fab (Axeonos)

Problem: As a result of our rapid growth and the extreme popularity of the 3D printers, we currently have 4 PolyPrinters and 2 PLA/experimental printers. As great as this is, it is also limiting to a bed size of just 9x9x9. as such the printers are printing objects that take anywhere from 20 minutes to several hours. This would be HUGELY relieved by a 508 "double wide" printer which is 9x9x20.

Members, Committees, and Dallas Makerspace as a whole rely heavily on the reliability and availability of our 3D printers, it is in our best interest at this time to purchase systems that have proven to be well built, well maintained, and well supported by PolyPrinter.

The 3D Printers are one of the biggest draws for new members. We need to be able to keep up with the demand of the printers and 3D Fabrication resources - which we currently are not able to do.

We are asking for the purchase of one 508 PolyPrinter (aka: "double-wide") which would also help alleviate some of the wait time; but, would also have the following additional benefits:

  • Ability for members and students to print 'in bulk'.
  • Print parts to build another 3D printer
  • Print multiple copies of a high demand item or time sensitive need (for a member, committee, etc...)
  • Ability for members to print much larger items for cosplay, tools, etc. This is especially relevant given the large community of cosplayers within our membership.

Solution: Allocate $4,995.00 to 3d fab for a Polyprinter 508. To keep up with the high demand for time on the 3D printers, and better enable us to offer hands-on classes, the 3D Fabrication Committee is requesting an additional 3D printer to be purchased. We have discussed this in detail at a committee meeting; and, have determined that purchasing one 508 PolyPrinter would offer the best benefit for Dallas Makerspace at this time.

Relevance to our tax exempt purpose: Purchasing this printer will allow us to offer access to our resources within a more reasonable time, allowing more members the opportunity to use the 3D printers to learn (and teach) new skills, and to finish their projects in a timely manner. It will also help enhance our abilities to offer more robust classes in the 3D fabrication process from beginning to end.

Redux 2: Re-framing the opportunities of the storage space for a Creative Arts Annex "White Room" (Nicole Franczvai)

Problem: White room/clean room is a term used in art - referred to as a place where things are kept clean for framing, finishing and proofing for shows. I would like to create a small clean area in the current under utilized storage room for a clean space for our printing/digital needs. This is an extension of my ask last month. After the last board meeting I was asked to speak to Classrooms about my plan for the annex (done) and come up with contractor bids for the wall that would be needed to divide up the space. While I'm awaiting the contractor bids I do believe I can better state my case and prove to the board that this space would be used to better enhance member experiences both in the Creative Arts room - and opening up other options for people seeking to work on printed/digital pieces at DMS. Yes, I have another powerpoint, I'm prepared to answer questions and I want the talk to be rational to the logic given. Let's not derail thinking and keep open to our options. Also note: I'm not going to give up.

Solution: Allow Creative Arts to use the current storage space in the interactive classroom. Allot a $2000 amount to be divided between gallery wall, floor construction, new camera installation. Put two desks from the creative arts room, the mat cutter and potentially the glass cutter (wall mounted) - in the "new" room. Build movable gallery walls as a legal substitute for a 30foot insanely designed and price prohibitive solution. The objects (let's not call them wall) have been used for solutions in galleries for years and provide a delineation of space but remain movable (with effort) if need be. An example of a movable gallery wall is available for viewing in my power point.

Relevance: Create additional space for printer, digital needs, allow for more multi purpose table use in the CA room.

Confirm Eric Brunner, PhD as new Chair of Science Committee ( David Ratcliff )

Problem: Science Committee election of 2016/Sept/07 resulted in Eric Brunner, PhD designated as new committee chair.

Solution: Confirm and recognize Dr. Brunner as new Science Chair with all associated rights and responsibilities.

Pay off the Multicam Loan (Robert Davidson)

Problem: I am looking to clean up the accounts that DMS maintains. I would like to just pay off the loan and close down all BBVA accounts.

Solution: Pay off the loan that stands at approx 11K, There is currently 3K in the the BBVA account and would need to move 8K from the general fund.

Update Donations rules (Erik Smith)

Problem: A general resolution was passed at the prior board meeting regarding the purpose of the Donation Shelf, which had no alterations to the rules. The rules themselves are also somewhat out of date and should be made current.

Solution: Update Rules & Policies, Section 11 Donations to read as follows:

Donations to DMS

  1. Donations of useful tools, materials, or other items to DMS
    1. Must be explicitly accepted by the committee in whose area the items are to be stored or used
    2. The Treasurer may reject certain donations if the administrative, financial, or tax burdens are deemed unreasonable
    3. Donations not explicitly accepted by a committee will not be accepted by DMS; if the donor delivers them to DMS without explicit acceptance they will be disposed of as Logistics sees fit
  2. Donations to a project are only spent on that project and are spent prior to any DMS allocated resources to the same project
    1. If the project is deemed unsuccessful, all remaining funds will be returned to the source
    2. Allocated money will be returned to the source fund, if more overages remain the money will be returned to the contributor in proportion to their donation
    3. If the project is deemed successful, accomplishing the stated goal, any unspent allocations will be returned to the committee fund in charge of the project, unspent donations will be returned the contributors according to the proportion of the donation
  3. Donations of motor vehicles must have written approval of 3 board members

Donation Shelf

  1. A donation shelf will be made available for members to give to and take items from
  2. Items placed on the donation shelf
    1. Are not considered donations to DMS; as such no receipts or acknowledgement will be provided
    2. Are considered to be available for members to claim once placed on the shelf
  3. The following items are not accepted:
    1. CRT monitors or televisions
    2. Paint
    3. Hazardous substances
    4. Items that cannot be placed in the dumpster
    5. Items that do not fit on the Donation Shelf
    6. Used automotive parts
  4. Claiming items from the shelf
    1. Items removed from the donation shelf become the property of the member removing them, effective once the item has been removed from the shelf
    2. Items left on the shelf cannot be claimed regardless of verbal claims made, labels placed on items, or any other action other than removal from the shelf and its general vicinity
  5. The donation shelf shall be maintained by Logistics, which may implement additional processes in the interest of safety and orderly operation of the donation shelf

New Business

Steam Cleaner for Logistics (Robert Davidson)

Problem: The floors are getting dirty and they need cleaned more than once a year for open house.

Solution: Purchase a Rug Doctor Mighty Pro X3 with Upholstery/stair tool for approx $400 https://www.amazon.com/Rug-Doctor-Mighty-Pro-Pack/dp/B008O6Y1H0

Relevance to our tax exempt purpose: Keeping the place clean is a requirement of doing businesses.

Adobe Licenses for DM and CA (Alex Rhodes)

Problem: Licenses ran out on 1 CA computer and one DM computer.

Solution: Purchase 2 more licenses of Adobe CC and allocate the appropriate yearly amount to Infrastructure (last BoD meeting, Adobe licensing was put under Infrastructure).

Relevance to our tax exempt purpose: Creative Arts and Digital Media a learning area within Dallas Makerspace.

Creative Arts Be Growin Like a Weed (Nicole Franczvai)

Problem: Over the course of the last year and a half the efforts of the Creative Arts has proven to be effective and greatly diversify the range of opportunities found within Dallas Makerspace. We have grown the program with two infusions from the board (Art One Point Oh and Art Two Point Oh and soon to be considered Art Two Point Five) on our $200 a month allotment. With our consumable needs growing with the diversity of the offerings we are finding it harder to stretch our collective dollars. While we are well funded (I'm not complaining) an increase in monthly funding would allow us to invest in all of our growing areas.

Solution: Increase Creative Arts Monthly Allotment from $200 a month to $350-$450 {as determined in the meeting} a month for the management and balance of consumables.

Relevance to our tax exempt purpose: Creative Arts is a substantial learning area within Dallas Makerspace. It also sources and provides many consumables for members (with or without donation) this increase will allow us to balance our way financially so we can maintain consumables and also manage to buy additional tools for members.

Update Events rules(Erik Smith)

Problem: Our policy on Events does not clearly define what constitutes a valid event. This had lead to the scheduling of DMS resources for what appear to be events that do not benefit DMS nor the larger community that we serve.

Solution: Add the following to Rules and Policies, Section 6 Events:

10. Honorarium Auditors may cancel or modify scheduled Classes or Events that are not in keeping with the DMS mission, are deemed inappropriate for DMS, are deemed not to be actual Classes/Events, represent an abuse of the calendar system, or represent an inefficient use of DMS resources

Tables for the galley (Patrick Thompson)

Problem: The tabletops in the galley are chipping, fading, and have ran their course.

Solution: Allot $400 to logistics, for 2 new tables.

Relevance to our tax exempt purpose: Keeping a clean makes a good impression for tours, and will encourage people to take better care of the new tables.

Pan/Tilt Camera for OpenCast Classroom recording implementation (Digital Media Jay Johnson)

Problem: The OpenCast Classroom recording proof of concept has previously been successfully produced with bare minimum infrastructure which included the use of an NTSC camera from over 40 feet away to perform the recording. Production implementation of OpenCast has received funding in the recent past, and now lack the Pan/Tilt HD recording camera and cabling.

Solution: Allocate $1000 from the general fund to Digital Media for the purchase of the Pan/Till HD recording camera and associated cabling. Installation, configuration, and support will be provided by Digital Media committee. The purchase is intended to go through Amazon.com . A high quality, near-industrial use, camera that can interface with the OpenCast infrastructure is needed, and the suggestion is to purchase Logitech Logitech PTZ Pro Camera - USB HD 1080p PTZ Video Camera(960-001021).

Relevance: Pan/Tilt HD recording camera is needed to bring the OpenCast Classroom recording infrastructure to production version and the elimination of using an NTSC camera.

Projector for Classroom (Robert Davidson)

Problem: The classroom projector is dim and not bright enough to keep the lights on.

Solution: Purchase a new projector and asociated components for approx 7K that will goto the classroom committee for the purchase.

Relevance: A brighter projector allows for more effective teaching by increasing the range people can see the screen.

Interim Classroom Chair (Robert Davidson)

Problem: Our committee chair is currently not available to perform his duties. Replace him with Alex Rhodes as the interim Chair.

Solution: Appoint interim chair to Alex Rhodes of classroom
