Ok, I wasn't sure how deep the objection was...<br>
<br>
I think it would still be a good idea to do a mail vote with the original<br>
five names (including Davis Makerspace), since there are more people on<br>
the mailing list than show up at any given meeting, and there may be some<br>
rethinking due to this discussion.<br>
<br>
That being said, I'm personally ok with 'Davis Makerspace', so if we want<br>
to just go with it and move on to creating mission<br>
statments/logos/fundraising/etc that's fine too.<br>
