- State tax exemption situation has been long and roundabout but looks like it might be sorted out in the next few weeks, including a reactivation of our corporate status.
- Federal IRS has decided we owe large fees. We are working with our CPA to sort this out.
Consensus items[edit]
There were no consensus items proposed or agreed this week.
Discussion Notes[edit]
Eviction: Junior[edit]
Danny re-iterated his post to noisebridge-discuss.
Eviction: Nicholas[edit]
Miloh reports than Nicholas was sleeping in the utility closet on a sleeping pad and with a pillow. Miloh asked him to leave; there were numerous excuses, but Nicholas eventually left. Mik corroborates this and adds that Nicholas returned on Sunday.
Space usage[edit]
We had our usual 20-minute discussion about
