Idea/Overview: Plenum

Date/Time: 5th October 2018, 20:00
Attending Managers: Patrick
Attending Members:

Topics

Here's the list so far - please don't hesitate to add more! If you won't be able to attend, you can add your comments here or in the discussion to take part anyway :-)

Short introduction into members meetings itself

Patrick welcomed everybody ;)

did the eMails reach everyone? Otherwise, please join the mailing list!

The attending members received the mail or were not part of the ML at the time it was sent.

how many were aware of the preceding discussion on github?

Only very few members checked github. GitHub and how we use it at the space quickly got explaind.

New (and newly available) tools at the space

New Tools: Router Table
Metal Lathe
Wood Lathe
Sebastian mentioned he has a "Flachdübelfräse" he could bring in the next weeks.
We got some income from the concert and the hackathon.
The "Löschdecken" for the welding corner was bought from that money already (approx. 100€)
Chris Mentioned he has a projector he would sell to the space. Ciaran will check his contacts as well if we get a free one.

A discussion started about new tools that should get bought.
Kay mentioned some of the drills should get a jacks.
Sebastian mentioned the table saw not to be precise. Therefore, the proposal is to buy a high quality plunge saw (e.g. from festool).
Laser Cutter (out of budget)
Luca mentioned he might have a 30m network cable. He will check this and bring it if it is still around.
Armin mentioned a planer. However, a proper tool are quite expensive. The proposal is to buy a proper tool and save some money for that. Axel will make a proposal for a tool to buy.
A discussion started about "Wig-schweißen". Armin and Patrick like it, Johannes and his kid not.
Decision: In general the plenum agreed on rather buying high quality but expensive tools. A list will be conducted until the next Plenum.

Adopting a workshop corner

Patrick Explained the general concept of area patrons. Sebastian likes the idea. He mentioned it would be nice to reduce the membership fee for members that take over extra responsibility. However, this idea can right now not be followed, since this might be considered as "employment" by the authorities. The Plenum decided area patrons are a good idea. Documentation to be found at Area Patron Corners to be adopted (and suggestions of the patrons): 3D-Printer: Kay and Luca Electronics Workbench: Johannes and Erik

Collaboration possibilities

Do-something days

Lukas can offer Oct 13th, 18:00 - open end

There is an open investigation on whether key members can host do-something days/hours on their own (without a manager). This investigation is right now with managers. There are legal implications to this, which are not really straight forward. An Update to this should be given in the next Plenum.
For the moment, if anybody wants additional do-something days/hours, please contact a manager in order to organize it.

Current projects that are looking for collaborators

Issues

Wiki

Seminar Ideas

Lukas is working on a "MediaWiki Basics" seminar, would also like to plan some winter/christmas themed event (at least Project:Cookie Cutters) on the last November weekend

Patrick explained the general idea of seminars. The audience has been asked to think about seminar ideas. Any idea should get put into the wiki on Seminar Ideas or brought to the next Plenum(or both)
Erik mentioned he thinks about hosting a IoT.octopus Seminar
Sebastian mentioned explaining the bus as a info-workshop.
In addition to the seminars, it was mentioned to use the friday opening hours as a more social time. For example, members could show their projects in small presentations. This should be limited time-wise in order to still allow making on fridays.

open discussion (general improvements, etc.)

What did I do since the last plenum?

skipped due to this being the first plenum

What am I planning to do until the next plenum?

What went wrong?

What went well?

What should get done at the space (new issues)?

Should we hang up pictures and a small description of out members in the floor (similar to what DingFabrik in Cologne does)?
* The plenum accepted the idea.
* Putting out pictures is optional. No member will be forced to put out their picture and put it on the wall.
* Armin volunteered on coordinating it (generate a template, collect pictures, etc).
Sebastian proposed a project board in addition.
* Decision: The wodden door to the "future laser cutter room" is now supposed to serve as the project board. Each member can hang up pictures of interesting projects.

* Decision: Next meeting will happen at the first friday of november.
