Recap of the last plenum

Status Updates:

  • Members wall
    • Martin: A first proposal for a format can be found on GitHub. Please let me know about any feedback.
  • Waste situation (#85)
  • Project wall
  • Storage solution for the planes (#84)

New (and newly available) tools at the space

=> also see "Wish List"

Collaboration possibilities

Martin: Idea: Can we discuss the goals and priorities of the space within 2019? This could help us members in helping out with these goals. If we know about any event, we could help with the planning. This could enable our managers to focus on things only they can do. Suggestions:

  • Advertisment
    • Attending events such as the Bahnstadtfest or the Welcome days of the University
    • Hosting Seminars
    • Another open day?
  • Technical Infrastructure
    • Website on github pages? (Since we have a fairly static website, we should be able to host it entirely on GitHub pages, which would enable members to create pull request for the managers to just apporve)
    • Using Office 365?
      • Microsoft offers Office 365 as a donation to nonprofit organizations. This would allo us to use significant cloud storage and other awesome collaboration toold for free. It also includes Exchange, which is the Groupware and E-Mail solution from Microsoft.


Do-something days

Current projects that are looking for collaborators

Issues

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

Wiki

Area Patron Update

Martin: It would be great to get regular updates from the Area Patrons regarding what has been done or what is planned for their area. We could use the following structure:

Area Patron Update Members Feedback
Electronics Bench Johannes
3D Printer Farm Luca

Any Update on User:Blacksheep becoming the area patron of the CNC Router?

Seminar Ideas

Martin: As far as I know, some ESPs that Patrick ordered arrived. We could therefore try to find a date for the PlatformIO Seminar.

open discussion (general improvements, etc.)

What did I do since the last plenum?

  • Switched the MQTT Implementation of the FDD and the DoorBell from paho to PubSubClient
    • This should be way more reliable now.
  • Got a few things for the E-Bench:
    • perfboards (with pin headers and connectors)
    • transistor set
    • jumper cables (Male-Male, Female-Female, Male-Female)
    • Sensor Kit
    • more perfboards (still in delivery)


  • Made a proposal for the Members Wall
  • managers: updated AGB & Werkstattordnung to better define how volunteers could supervise other members
    • if you would be interested in hosting an event, please let us know!

What am I planning to do until the next plenum?

What went wrong?

  • Just take a look at the scrap wood corner....

Martin: I came in at January 3rd and found the following:

  • Missing iFixit Tools (the picks are missing)
  • Missing solder
  • Missing bits in the makita bit set
  • Wood drill bits not at their place
  • Corded Drill just lying around (with the drill still attached)
  • Laser Cutter just put back into the CNC room in an unusable position.
  • Lukas: also noticed the large "Workzone" sockwt wrench and the 17 mm socket are missing :-(
  • Mitja: common room table was full of trash until recent cleaning day, not the most welcoming first impression

What went well?

  • quick reporting & repair of a problem with the door bell
  • many new visitors and eMail inquiries in the new year - hopefully some new members soon!

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

Next Meeting

Wednesday beginning of February
