OpAl Proposal

  • The 100$ utility stands

  • Roundtable of how people feel about it.
  • Consequences:
    • Figuring out our membership : What makes a member? What allows people access to the equipment and what are the accountability measures.
    • A log in system for the equipment.
    • Insurance.
    • Organizing space.
    • Mailing lists.
    • Doing outreach.
