[Makerspace-keymembers] Fwd: Progress on Possible Move to First Floor?

[Nadia Karlinsky]

Are we going to *start* talking about it at the Tuesday meeting or is that
when we should have things decided? In either case, it'd be good to figure
out in the meantime stuff like what constitutes a sufficiently expanded
level of programming.
