We are<br /> far enough ahead that we can afford things like bulk sticker and<br /> tshirt orders, but about $4K short of our fantasy of keeping $15K<br /> untouched in savings as a prudent reserve.&quot;<br /> <br /> === Membership Binder ===<br /> <br /> Daniel Dunbar becomes a member. Yay!<br /> <br /> === What&#039;s Going On at Noisebridge (non-weekly events) ===<br /> <br /> ====5mof====<br /> Five Minutes of Fame is on Thursday.<br /> <br /> ====Snickers bars====<br /> Next Tuesday (April 26) Tastebridge plans to make Snickers bars from<br /> scratch according to a recipe from Instructables (http://www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-Snickers-Candy-Bar-Recipe/).<br /> <br /> Q. Will we get in trouble with Mars?<br /> <br /> A. ...<br /> <br /> Q. Maybe we can make amaretto Snickers bars.<br /> <br /> Q. Amaretto Snickers bars‽<br /> <br /> A. Yeah! With actual amaretto?<br /> <br /> Q. When?<br /> <br /> A. Maybe as soon as tomorrow or the week after. (??)<br /> <br /> Q. There is also a Tastebridge event on April 26 for vegan food hacking.<br /> If vegans come, and you&#039;re making Snickers bars then, can we also make<br /> some vegan ones?<br /> <br /> A. Maybe. The vegans should research what ingredients they would need to<br /> use and try to bring those.<br /> <br /> ====New groups forming====<br /> - There is a group trying to start a 3D graphics event. Possibly Blender<br /> or possibly 3D graphics in general.<br /> <br /> - On Sunday there will be a meetup to explore Scheme, at 2:00 p.m.<br /> People can bring projects or questions. One possible demonstration<br /> topic is web development in Scheme (!). The Schemers meeting is going<br /> to occur on Sundays in general.<br /> <br /> Q. Is that the same as Schematics?<br /> <br /> A. No, there are actually two different Scheme groups.<br /> <br /> Q. We have two different space programs and two different Scheme groups?<br /> <br /> A. Yes.<br /> <br /> Q. What&#039;s the difference between the two?<br /> <br /> A. They have a different focus because possibly Schematics is more<br /> CS-focused and the Schemers are more project-oriented.<br /> <br /> === Discussion Items ===<br /> <br /> ====Extra stuff====<br /> - The extra stuff lying around the space ... at the open studios this<br /> past weekend it seemed that artists might be able to use extra stuff,<br /> e.g. there are artists who work with old computer components as raw<br /> materials for artwork. We have an enormous surplus of things, like on<br /> the hack shelf, and so we could make it available to artists to work<br /> with.<br /> <br /> - Cool, let&#039;s give some stuff to artists.<br /> <br /> ====BayCon====<br /> Q. Will Noisebridge accept the money from the charity auction at the<br /> upcoming BayCon convention?<br /> <br /> A. Yes, thanks BayCon!<br /> <br /> - Do we want to have a table at BayCon? May 27-30 (Friday through<br /> Monday, which is Memorial Day); the weekend after Maker Faire. At<br /> the Hyatt Regency in Santa Clara. We can have a table there if we<br /> want; we just need to have people. If so, we should have a person<br /> who is BayCon&#039;s lead point of contact for this purpose. Someone<br /> should please volunteer for this soon if we want to accept BayCon&#039;s<br /> tabling offer.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Meeting Notes]]</div>
