Reports

• State of the Onion http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/State_of_the_Onion: Reuse committee may split into multiple groups, Outreach already has. Long-time volunteer and intern Jake has been hired as a non-collective staffer; this will push back the prebuild intern hiring somewhat. Ali dropping to part time. About to start hiring for a second Sales Coordinator.
• General Priorities http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/General_Priorities: FG's application to be a state recycler is still under consideration, but we've heard that our application is in good shape.
• Geek Fair: Organizationally, went pretty well, though attendance was not as high as expected. Kevin did some polling, found some people who didn't know much about FG at all. Next year's planning will start fairly soon, likely. With more planning time, more outreach to West Portland, it's hoped to make next year more of an outreach event.

Business

• Board Elections. Jon (absent), Marie, Laurel, standing for reelection. Anne standing. Tim not standing for reelection.
