[FlyingBrickAnnouncements] Flying Brick Volunteer Meeting Notes 7-11-12

[Matt W]

There is a small chance I might have an old computer which could make a
good replacement for the Brick. I need to reformat it to make sure it's in
good running condition and it might take me awhile to find the time to
tinker with it, but hit me up before any money is spent on a replacement!
