I’d also like to point out that:
- Scheduling, announcing and placing on the events calendar, monthly Committee meetings with associated (and published) Committee meeting minutes
The committee report is published with classes, events, and projects and :
- Committee Class offerings that benefit the members and non member guests.
Considering the number of times we pull from the community at large to have this and monitor the trends on talk for which classes are wanted. I’m fairly confident this can be achieved.

A demonstrated value-add to DMS insofar as it pertains to our goals, member’s education and growth (i.e., demonstrate an overall benefit to DMS and its members…and the State of Texas as a 501C3).
a bug fix or two is nice but value adds have been:
- CommunityGrid a docker cluster with some large scale computers behind that empowers the Smart Makerspace, Blockchain classes, and IoT Sig.
- DMS Radio
- DMS Zine
- Plus our Midnight Hacker CTF, Locksport classes, Vintage PC’s, BBS, and payphone are all items that draw in membership and have gained new members at nearly every single one of them since the committee was moved to the front lobby.
Now, I’d love to see this level of commitment and drive from the committee as well.
My questions for the community here at DMS is other than documenting all the things, where are we lacking on this? What’s the markers for success? How can we continue the momentum that was already set forward?
