Recap of the last plenum
- everyone attending has read last month's meeting minutes :-)
- progress of the renovations:
- electricity:
- bad luck with rat-chewed cables last week (see Mailing List or Telegram Group), but we're back on track now
- lights are hung and theoretically working!
- inspection can happen tomorrow (Johannes: 95% certainty, this value kept increasing throughout the evening) :-D
- outside doors have been fixed
- vehicle workspaces are ready for use
- fundamental safety features are installed: first aid kits, fire extinguishers, emergency exits
- rats: will be an ongoing topic for a while, but not blocking anymore...
- we have two traps in the workshop floor, holes in the other rooms and especially into neighboring halls are widely sealed
- cables have gotten an extra protection and are not in the animals' way now, so no reason to chew on them again...
- electricity:
- missing until re-opening now: only the electricity inspection!!

Bauhaus Cards
You can now get Bauhaus bonus cards to support the Space! It won't change the price for you, but with every purchase you'll collect provisions for the Space - even more than through Amazon Smile.
Just let Lukas know if you would like to have such a card!
New (and newly available) tools at the space
=> also see "Wish List"
- the laser cutter is scheduled to arrive tomorrow!
- lots of preparation will be needed before it can be commissioned, help is of course very welcome ;-)
- new chop saw needed

Issues
closed issues since the last plenum
new issues since the last plenum
- although we're very close to opening the Space again with the minimum functionality, there are still plenty of ways to increase order and comfort
- for example, there are "issues" about installing a water line to the future kitchen, garbage collection, guiding visitors to the new place - just take a look!
- feel free to add anything that's not in the list yet!
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 :-)
- major edits this week: we've simplified and combined a couple of separate introductions into the drill introduction and the heat introduction! Make sure you're up to date on the new versions before using the machines again, as always ;-)
Also check out current projects that are looking for collaborators if you're a team player!
