- SKDB, the open-source hardware package manager, gained Lego support: new commits add STEP geometry files, interface definitions, and `heeks_coords.py` to extract mating-point coordinates from HeeksCAD XML, while `package_play.py` provides the first automated compatibility check for whether parts (e.g., screws and bearings) can physically mate.  
- A YAML brain atlas (`human_brain.yaml`) was created listing neuron counts and anatomical hierarchies, with FreeSurfer and ICBM template label files provided as coordinate-system references for neuro-mapping projects.  
- Participants debated the definition of synthetic biology, settling on “reusable genetic devices and parts that can be composed like electronic components,” while also questioning whether end-goals such as insulin production without E. coli should be explicitly stated.  
- A microfluidic “graph grammar” was proposed to enumerate all possible microfluidic component combinations, with GraphSynth and the SKDB codebase suggested as starting points for implementation.  
- A 24/7 community media server (http://71.207.247.209/) was launched to host scanned textbooks, lab media, and other resources, with the operator committing to continuous uptime.  
- The UT Austin graphene ultracapacitor paper was highlighted as a near-term competitor to the long-awaited EEStor barium-titanate energy-storage device, pending EEStor’s promised public demonstration.  
- Logistics for the H+ Summit / SKDB presentation in Los Angeles were confirmed: plane tickets promised before August 12 and an interim hackerspace already secured for equipment storage.
