-
### Inside business

#### ratskeller update

* talked with an exterminator about doing abatement in basement but station is too large for ceiling
* there is a bait station near the sink
* rats likely originating next door, heard it is also getting abatement

#### oozing forward

* last sunday we printed out first go from coffee printer
* next step to get bea init file and use a slicer, have been hand writing gcode
* new material science in the work (CMC, xanthan gum, wood ash, agar, alginate, etc)
    * found a bunch of chitosan & blender

* it'd be good to keep a log of experiements, recipes, measurements, etc

#### smelly tent and ventilation re-ups

* built a tent and hooked up to the active 4" exhaust
* need to figure out the current ventilation plan & see what we can do
* maybe 1-ish day away from being comfortable for running a hands-on class
* potentially get another air quality monitor inside the tent

#### coffee business

* system is still being finalized on separation of woodbean and other brand
* if woodbean is going to run, it's a collective for the benefit of the basement

#### 3rd space walks?

* there's all these 3rd spaces in NY, what if we ran events to visit other 3rd spaces?

#### puck's rants

* let's do classes
* meeting structure changes?
* talking with woodbine about projects

#### comms infra

* micro: less "process" to testing infra projects out

* puck: if I add discord, I don't want to hear complaints
* llama, burdock: fuck discord
* omni5cience: (secretly pro discord, probably) let's discuss in a working group
* puck: proposals -> meeting -> 1 week to respond -> action
* micro: make sure to test it out, ensure we have someone who will maintain it
* llama: we do this for autonomy - callback to the "spirit of the basement"
