Minutes:
- Workshop went well overall; didn't have time to go through the whole thing.
- Bill K has some ideas of a workshop on learning to setting up and using a Raspberry Pi.
- Perhaps connect via command-line and SSH so that one can use one's existing laptop instead of having to connect another keyboard and monitor.
- In particular, the trail-and-error and troubleshooting involved.
- Bill H: Should have the budget to get some cheaper Pis and some memory cards.
- Bill K will set up a wiki page for thoughts and planning.
- https://wiki.davismakerspace.org/RpiGPIO
- Thoughts on what kind of sensors one might try hooking up to the Pi.
- No objections from present members on spending DMS money up to ~$200 on parts.
- Supply might be a bit of an issue currently; a brief search doesn't show any in stock. So perhaps we might need to wait a while.
- Bill H has 3 excess box fan air filters available for people at cost (~$17) if anyone wants.
- Repair cafe coming up; May 14.
- Emily will there early to open up; Bill H can be there at the end to close down.
- New space construction news; coming along, current installing electrical outlets.
- Friends of the Library may have more money to donate towards the laser cutter.
- Will there be a Doodle poll or something for repair cafe attendance?
- Emily: Fairly informal right now, and the poll doesn't necessarily get great use, so perhaps just send email about when one should be able to help out.
- 11a-2p, though volunteers can start ~10a to get set up.
- Rob has a Pi that could be used for Space purposes.
- Sac City College Davis Branch has someone who contacted us via Facebook who is interested in setting up a makerspace, looking for advice and collaboration. Julie is in contact.
- Library will have another flier for repair cafe that we'll have available to post around.
