* let classtakers know we operate on donations / memberships
* "donate whatever you can, $1, $5"

* also, if you host a class or group, please stay the entire time the attendees/guests are here, or ask another member to take over

=== Bylaw change ===

* from Nate:
** 1 member 1 guest policy..
** Nate wants to relax that policy.. unless it becomes a problem
** proposed change: remove 1 member 1 guest policy.. move the guideline into the standing rules
* the rule has also been broken for classes (1 member.. classroom full of people)
* we need more of a system for classes

=== Co-working idea ===

* some members and potential members want to use the space for actual work, running a business during work hours out of the space
* M-F the space is mostly dead during work hours
* what happens when someone wants to use the band saw while someone is on the phone for work?
** that's the nature of the space.. it's an open shop.. someone can use a noisy tool
* agreed: no problem with having members co-work in the space

** open to any topic
** quite popular
** 400 people at Ignite Lansing #2
** 300 people at Ignite AA
* where will it be held?
