Hi, Gergana,<br>
<br>
Thanks for posting this -- it's huge!<br>
<br>
Apologies for not making it to the Makerspace meeting.<br>
<br>
I attended the IMC Programming Committee meeting on Saturday, took
notes and returned them to<br>
Gary Storm and Danielle Chynoweth for elaboration. I expect that I
will receive the final minutes back<br>
from them soon and will forward them to the Makerspace.<br>
<br>
They distributed a hardcopy 6-point draft of the roles and
responsibilities for the Programming Committee.<br>
It is basically to communicate between the Working Groups and the
IMC Board.<br>
<br>
There are a couple of points relating to the Makerspace specifically
that I wanted to pass on right away.<br>
<br>
Rachel L. Storm suggested a Makerspace vs. Fab Lab Geek/Maker
competition<br>
<br>
“How to organize your community against Drone surveillance” - a
workshop proposal for <br>
the Allied Media Conference by Brian Dolinar.<br>

"...The kit was produced using 3D modeling software and desktop 3D
printing technologies..."<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi Stewart -
All the models were already available on the internet, but some needed some tweaking to make them print properly. I'm afraid I don't have the models or originals to hand at the moment, but hope to make them available at some point.

We should be able to "self-publish" a "friend-or-foe"-styled drone
identification kit using the 3D printer.<br>
