Hybrid Structuring Strategy Diagram

• Made graphical representation of relevant elements.
• My next step is to write a two-page narrative summary of the plan and then solicit plan review.
• Planning review strategy is listed here.

Remote Machine Designer Project Management - Lenny-Wayne Patterson

• Met with him and Marcin
• Design review document - made changes for ease of fabrication
• Worked with Aidan and Marcin to get a student license of VariCAD for Lenny-Wayne.
• Started blog post draft with Lenny-Wayne on the design of the next backhoe.

Income & Expenditures

• Updated Parker on the status of our bookkeeping and advised next steps in the process.
• Parker is handling the next steps.

Shumaker Family Foundation

• Wrote Shumaker Family Foundation - October Grant Report and sent it to Judy - ED of Shumaker.

For-Profit Business Research

• Did cursory research of for-profit strategy at the U.S. Small Business Administration website.

Trencher

• Researched viability of Quick Attach Wheels design for use with the trencher as a universal rotor.

Dan McCormick

• I had a great meeting with Dan McCormick. He said the door is still open with Nicholas Sparks and reaffirmed his enthusiasm for our work. He agreed to review my work on the org. dev. strategy.
• He would like to come out to FeF in the next month after his upcomming trip to Des Moines.

Guatemala Pilot

• OSE - Guatemala - Pilot Project - Logic Model
• If we can get this pilot project documented and funded - we can conduct a thorough programs evaluation and prove our theory of change, which will lead to millions of dollars in funding.
• I requested a plan update for Quetsol from Manuel Aguilar given his new relationship with Andres Botran.

Food Buying System

• I met with Shari and she updated me on the rest of the work that needs to be finished.
• She is talking with Fair Share Farms on getting signed up for their bulk buying system.
• Food Purchase Breakdown
• She wrote a recruiting script with Tristan for a cook recruiting video - she is trying to locate the document.

Accounting

• Downloaded UWCU transaction history
• Downloaded Sesloc transaction history from 06/01/12 to present (all that is available for download)
• 2012 Transaction History
• OSE Financial Transparency 2012 - transfered transactions I could understand

• To Do: see if checks are scanned and viewable online, check with Marcin on items I don't recognize

CNC Torch Table

• Checked with Yoonseo on the status of the torch table:

I've got torch table electronics handled. It will be very similar to the system used for the CNC Circuit Mill V2. Just a matter of making a large case, large screw terminals, then mounting and wiring the new stepper drivers (from Darren) with the Arduino Uno R3. Darren has a friend updating the gcode interpreter code. The mechanical side of the torch table is relatively easy and near completion. Marcin was on this last we discussed. Best, Yoonseo
