Our next meeting is Nov 5th at 9pm.
https://calendar.dallasmakerspace.org/events/view/8520
The main purpose of this meeting is to discuss our tours and tour guides.
- review mission/purpose
- discuss improvements to tours. streamlining, better props, committee involvement, timing…
- review process and sales speech
- closing a sale
- recruit more guides
- add days? @dianarhodes has been doing Weds 11am-1pm. A weekend day if we could support it would be great.
Additionally, we need to discuss:
- should PR financially support a wide format printer? Uses in advertising and benefits to attracting members.
- upcoming events: Offsite meetup at Twisted root, Thanksgiving, Lakewood Brewery, Christmas, Expansion.

Can you go in depth on this item? Is PR considering purchasing the printer, or helping fund the printer?
Thanks!
We will talk if PR could/should help fund a wide format printer, but not purchase.
A SIG has formed around the printers. They would have ownership and maintenance responsibility. Ironically, our meeting is 2 hours after the next wide format printer meeting.

talkers,
You were probably right when you quoted me with “Tours are my favorite thing at the Makerspace”, because that is 100% true.
I’ll step it up a notch:
Giving DMS tours is my favorite thing in life.
And I’ve done quite a bit of fun stuff.
