  • + reminder for Amazon Smile
• Reopening: we've been back to our regular supervised hours for about one month now and already have 7 new members! That is awesome :-D

Seminar Planning - Tor 4

• "Urban Gardening" (Martin)
  • March 21/22
    • Sa 10:00-16:00 'Working duration' - after that discussion round table
    • So. 10:00-approx. 14:00
  • support offered: Patrick, Rolf, Johannes, ??
  • planning via do-something #172
  • publicity needed! If you use Facebook, please share our event!
    • another one for the evening will follow - same thing ;-)

• "Upcycling" (Lukas)
  • April 25/26
  • support offered: Simon, ??
  • first preparation session: 2020-3-14, 13:00-18:00 - feel free to join us!
  • planning via do-something #175
  • joiner/planer should arrive at the beginning of April

• "Precision Tech Meets Art" (Keno)
  • idea: intaglio printing with OpenPress and laser engraved [[Acrylic Glass|acrylic glass]; templates laser cut from cellulose acetate to spray paint on canvas; screen printing?
  • May 23/24
  • support offered: Erik, Leo, ??
  • planning via do-something #174
  • Laser setup necessary issue #187
    • Filter construction
      • Rolf mentioned that LKW air-filters could be a source for cheap particle filter
        • Lukas: I'd be careful with that, one of the Fablabs referenced in #179 explicitly advises against cheap car filters as they are not fine enough!
      • activated carbon filter from cooking hoods (for circulation units)

• Final Event
  • June 27 plus evenings of the week before
  • should consist of very visible afternoons/evenings with project presentations and discussions

We are sponsored with new equipment for these courses, so your involvement will have a great impact on the Space!

New (and newly available) tools at the space

• Laser cutter is here! -> needs some work
• New chop saw still needs 1-2 weeks as the received one needs to be replaced because of a broken part

=> also see "Wish List"

Collaboration possibilities

Who's not in our Mailing List or Telegram Group yet? Also check out Category:Community!

Let´s use the time after the Plenum to create new Photos (see also issue #118)

Tor 4 2020

The next Tor 4 project application deadline is 15. Mai with the topic of "Wir müssen reden" ("We need to talk"). For further discussion see the according issue.

Issues

closed issues since the last plenum
new issues since the last plenum

• most urgent (besides the Tor 4 issues): #191 - commissioning the new chop saw
• Lukas would appreciate any feedback on a new T-shirt design - who would buy one? :-)
  • Rolf has a source for getting textiles printed
  • Andi suggested to build a screen printing jig

Wiki

Please share your experiences with just about anything - the more people are creating wiki content together, the better!
=> have a look at current "wiki" labeled issues where help is especially welcome :-)

Also check out current projects that are looking for collaborators if you're a team player!
