general idea/overview of dates: "Plenum"
Date/Time: 2023-11-22, 19:00
Attending Managers: 2 present, 1 online
Attending Members: 13 present, 1 online
Online solution: "huddle" on slack - worked well!
Project Presentations
Let's take up to 2 × 10 minutes before each plenum to show others what we're working on!
- Andiarbeit showed his progress with his first (and very challenging) welding project: "tornado torches"
- instruction video on YouTube: Der Tornado in der Röhre
- Trix presented his CNC milling project: making a personalized gift coin
- small details are very hard to get right - so many parameters to test, so little time...
- brass gives better results than the brass-nickel alloy used in 2 € coin centers
- workholding turned out to be tricky as well: how to achieve perfect alignment, minimum vibrations and no damage to the edges?
If you are interested in talking about your projects, please announce it here and/or via your favorite community channel before the next plenum - and of course, a project page would be perfect!!
Recap of the Last Plenum
- Repair Café: both events (July & October) went well, the October one (on "World Repair Day") had more visitors than any before - 28 of 57 attempted repairs were successful!
- two new dates planned for 2024: currently looking at July 20th & October 19th
- check out #topic-repair on slack!

- 5 Soldering Kits for events (stored in the office until needed)
- made possible by "Code Week" and "Meet & Code" funding

=> also see "Wish List"
Management Update
Johannes, who has been volunteering as tutor and supervisor since the very beginning, is also joining the management team now! *applause*
Heating
Ideas for localized heating have been floating around - requirements:
- there is no way we can heat the entire space, local solutions are required
- power source should be electricity or (maybe) gas so we stay safe
- a timer should be integrated to limit energy costs and make sure no heater runs unattended
collection of rough options:
- infrared panels on rolling stations?
- heatable seat cushions in the common room?
- small "warmth cabin" inside another room?
- set up a cheap greenhouse?
- close off the gaming area and add a suspended ceiling?
- see Trockenbau#Option: Raum im Raum for previous research in this direction
- curtains instead of a fixed wall would leave the option of keeping the area open during summer
- apparently, used "Odenwalddecken" are often available cheaply if you deconstruct them yourself
- isolate the floor (in a selected area)?
Any solution to be pursued further needs detailed cost & effort research - please contribute so we can battle the cold together!
T-Shirts
Who's interested in buying CoMS T-shirts? We have some left in stock and could think about ordering more!
Bonus Programs
We will soon order new Bauhaus Cards - who's interested?
