MEH's third Blood Drive on Monday!

A prerequisite of our Board is that they must make all honest attempts at a weekly plasma drive to Great Falls. Plasma is the blood juice without the blood cells. During this time, we all cram a van/car and discuss future ways to obtain HP, funding/growth and any other business issues and opportunities. We also sometimes use it to gather support/affiliates/sponsors/etc. It's actually pretty fun! Our club secretary records the minutes and we WAY over-accomplish our legal requirement of board meetings.

If you are a member, or even an interested person, please email at bloodmeh@gmail.com. The blood drive is worth 50 HP(hacker points) so two trips will get you 10sqft of hackspace table for the month and Mehmbership. Plus you get to know what happens in our board meetings.

I will, as usual, make 20(or more) PB&J sandwiches for all of us the night before. Then we shall grab some Juice bottles and head for Great Falls. You would need your SSN, Picture ID(with DOB) and any letter that can prove your residence in the past 60 days.

It's about an hour there, two hours when we get there and one hour to go back. Expect faster time, if this isn't your first time donating plasma. We are projected to make around $100 per trip.

Funding Options

Long post this time:

We're going over different ways to get money for club improvement.

We need to get more computer desks, electronics programing devices/chips, Servos, paints and a large display.

We're looking at the

Senario AL-100 Torpedo Entertainment and Game Projector

Sexy, huh?


We're making weekly "Blood drives" to Great Falls and each trip is getting us about $100 for the club. If you want to get in on this, contact saintmeh@gmail.com. This counts towards your HP. We hold a meeting on the way there, meet with others when we arrive

We also rent out 20 sq(4x5) feet of physical hackspace with a $30 mehmbership. Haha! Get it? no?.. well.. I thought it was funny.

We're also taking preregistration for advanced programming/reverse engineering courses. Lesson's cost either $20 or 100 HackspacePoints(HP).

This month's Public Outreach Security Training is going to be about Online EULAs:

We will discuss two topics:

Public benefit--EULAs( Ferret):

1 What a EULA is

2 What it normally says

3 Important areas of reading for your average Joe

4 What it can't say and how you can protect your rights.

Nerd Benefit--How to set up a darknet( Saint):

1 What is the first amendment and why was it put in place?

2 Is it under attack. If so, how?

3 What are our options?

4 Darknet installations

5 Choosing your friends wisely(read paranoidly).

6 Next topics will be "Naked In Cyberspace--Verifying someone's identity"

We have a secure sign-in for the EULA presentation. This proves to grant funders that we're doing a public service. We also intend to have suggestion boxes inside and outside the door. Everyone is invited to this. This is a great way to meet MEHmbers regarding potential tutelage, work space and/or computer usage.

The POST is in the large meeting room in the Library at 6 on Sunday the 28th.
