Incidents

Outstanding actions
Encouraging sign in. New book in place, Russ has been pestering people to sign in. John D has counted Augusts numbers. 129 member sign ins & 25 visitor, likely a large underestimate. Arthur A has an RFID solution he wants to implement. TS make it go bing or give badges for usage. IAS Useful to count for future funding applications.
Website upgrade
CookiesHQ have had a conversation with Athur A about building a Ruby on Rails integrated platform covering website, wiki, membership, payment processing. An offer of an internship for a HS member to develop the site & then maintain it. They would offer a non-commercial rate, but it would be possible to stage deveopment. Likey total cost would be in the low thousands. AA Ongoing costs would be minimal, hosting a VPS, stripe payment integration would be per transaction. TS Other hackspaces have websites, check them and see if we can use their code. AA create list of requirements to decide priorities.
