Point 2: Project Updates
It is important that every board member stays up to date with all main projects. Add link when relevant.
Hackuarium in general
Workshops
Need a model to standardize and organize workshops execution.
Can we get a zone on the wiki or the website accessible only to members where the can get workshop lists with protocols?
How is the income shared ?
Experiment Shelf
We talked about this several times but it would be time to set it up. We could organize a shelf were boxes contain experiments you can do on your own for a small price (2 to 10 bucks).
Project Proposition
A thing I realize when looking at how octanis worked is that they proposed to people small tasks to carry part of a bigger project.
I have ideas, I have to focus my time on other things. Can we make a project proposal page to our members ?

Loterie Romande
A new application was submitted at the Loterie Romande for 20'000 CHF. Deadline on October 15th.
Others?
Luc has a list here, and will keep writing emails as soon as he has time. (Yann: Checked the list, that's a large pool, good. Should we also aim at companies ? Nestlé, Thermo, Merks, Roche ... Some might not be "delicate" since people might become unhappy if they see Bayer or DAPRA as cash income)
Point 4: Future partnerships

Joint Outreach with SIB
Point 5: Upcoming OpenHackuarium nights
