Welcome address

(Vanessa, 1 min)

Point 0: public minutes

(Vanessa, 1 min)

Get ok from all board members to upload minutes on wiki (or else discuss alternative below)

Objections?

Point 1: UC Crowdfunding campaign

Update from the President

(Vanessa, Rachel, 5 min)

Renens to provide a great part of funds (0.8M of 1.2M needed), and Vanessa and Rachel (and Gustavo) had a nice lunch with the syndic, Jean-François Clément.

Edouard Treccani, who works for Inartis/MC, is the main contact for the Crowdfunding, which has a 'soft launch' planned for the night of the political debate about Innovation in Vaud (11apr), and the actual 'digital' launch sometime in the next month.

Who else wants to work on this? Who is ready to devote significant time over the next 6 weeks? We need people sharing news, making 'perks' for crowdfunding and probably much more!


Point 2: Community Happiness

(Shalf, 5 min) Drafting future blogpost telling the story of Inartis & Hackuarium for Benoît to co-author.
Goals:

  • Reminder how and what Hackuarium community members contributed to the early months/years of UC development.
  • Re-tell the story explaining "the deal" why we never had to pay rent
  • Stating why and how we should engage together again towards future, and the precise terms of the deal

Point 3: Biofabbing Fabrications and fabulations

Biofabbing Fabrications and fabulations --> The Unconference: (bordel but...) Visit to hackuarium Somewhere between 10 - 14 Mai from 19h. on --> WHO is there? Does is make sense to not have and special thing happening (hello and apero?) help to set a biolab at IdeaSquare for days 10 - 14 Mai Vanessa will make an email with projects that wanna be there --> WHO Finally?

Microgrants

  • Microgrant Process Review shared, i.e. work has started. Shalf will keep improving this page until next board meeting for a structured conversation to happen.

Ateliers de Renens

Next steps proposed and approved:

  • Follow-up w/ Christophe re: stolen wood
  • Check next UC Community Meeting date & governance. Yann will update the board & community to make sure we have time to properly gather feedback from everyone, and will go with someone else from the Board (depending on meeting's agenda and availabilities). ***(when to start a strategy to discuss amongst us?)

Community Strength

Our philosophy, how many people are really active and open? How many people are really paying members? How often do more than the core 5-10 actually come to the lab?? ...

Point 3: Varia
