[Imc-tech] no more tech?

[Zachary C. Miller]

Clint and I have been brainstorming some hardware related design stuff
that I want to share with Tech soon.

I am going to start brainstorming some software design stuff that I
want to share with and work with tech on soon.

I want to start helping with IMC computer maintenance soon. 

Most of the time tech is a working group. We have projects to do that
don't really lend themselves to a meeting type setting. But sometimes
there are important decisions to be made and standards to
establish. What group should do this? Steering?

The other point of tech is to manage the inventory of lendable
stuff. Some group will need to take this over if tech folds. Perhaps
it should be under the jurisdiction of radio?

Perhaps we could move to monthly tech meetings? 

Alternatively (or additionally) It'd be really easy for me to make
Tech meetings if they were Thursday nights at 8pm since I'm already
there for Shows from 7pm-8pm.
