Agenda
Shopping 4 Electronics
- Kris: Selection of a "low-cost general purpose microcontroller kit" (Arduino based???) [who leads this? can you make a project page?]
--> the kit should contain the minimal components needed for future (Whitespace) projects
--> the kit should let you start easily with your next project
--> 3 steps procedure:
1) Whitespace buys all the components for a couple of kits at once
2) You can buy a low-cost kit from Whitespace
3) Have fun building your next project
- we want to make a page/app/something where people that are planning to buy electronics
- once enough is on there to drop shipping charges, we order, and gain $$$
Money management

* assign someone to be responsible for 3 months for the financials * that person gets clean books * that person returns clean books
- Advantages:

Dorkbot minus Dorkbot
Andre to fill in.
