Project Presentations

Let's take about 2 × 20 minutes before each plenum to show others what we're working on! If you are interested in talking about your projects, please announce it here and/or via the Mailing List:

• talk 1: From scratch build of a PC case. Aluminum Cube, cooled with water. -Jochen

- An old project from 2008. Robust design. Details documented at Meisterkuehler.de

• talk 2: Building and programming a QR-code based physical jukebox with raspberry pi. -Keno

- Included a very interesting summary of QR-code workings. Amazing that 800 characters on 2cm QR-code can be reliably read by PI camera. 

Recap of the last plenum

• Waste Situation?

- Generally better. 
- Further improvements at upcoming do-something event on 22 Mar. 

• Members Wall?

• Seminar Planning?

- Possible future seminar from Keno based on his Juke Box

Which "issues" should we focus on?

• Martin suggested to tackle #50 (via Telegram Group)

Area Patron Update

Area	Patron	Update	Members Feedback
Electronics Bench	Johannes	Johannes has done a great job organising the Electronics area, including sorting the metal shelves, attaching the sockets robustly so it's easier to plug and unplug and keep the cables organised.	He got good feedback and thanks. In general it is being left in pretty good shape by the users compared to before. Probably due to it being so much better organised
3D Printer Farm	Luca	became a 3D printing tutor	any feedback/thanks?

Who else would like to become an Area Patron (Eckpate) or tutor for a tool they're experienced with?

open discussion (general improvements, etc.)

What did I do since the last plenum?

Quick roundtable

• Notable for the Space: Moritz continues the small metal Lathe repair/renovation - will contact Armin about modification to mount it and also to ask can space be made for mounting it in the precious plastic area.

What am I planning to do until the next plenum?

• Kim will order at Motedis, anyone interested?

What went well?

• lots of new additions to the Members Wall :-)
• 7 new members again since the last plenum!

Next Meeting

A Wednesday evening in April - April 3rd or April 10th?
