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 :-)

Project Presentations

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

• Julien will talk about "a small 3D print I did, my sun oven currently being built and a plan for making wooden cups out of pumpkins using 3D printing"
• who else would like to show something?

Recap of the last plenum

• Waste Situation?
• Members Wall?
  • Martin: Johannes and me hung up the members wall in the floor. Please ask the attending members to create their page and add themselves.
• Seminar Planning?
• Further Event Planning?
  • Volunteers for Arduino Day?
  • Volunteers for Mini Make Darmstadt?
  • Volunteers for another Open Day?

Collaboration possibilities

Did everyone know about the plenum, e.g. from the mailing list? Several members have never confirmed their invitations, hopefully just accidentally...

What did I do since the last plenum?

Lukas: added some simple, but probably non-intuitive hand tools to the wiki (and the workshops):

• Saw Sets
• Circlip Pliers

Martin:

• Members Wall (with great support from Johannes)
• PlatformIO Seminar

What went well?

• simple user page creation led to a chat about toymaking that produced a new and hopefully useful category and a nice beginner project description :-)
• six new members in January! That brings us up to 50 for the first time :-)
• PlatformIO seminar

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

• add/finish documentation for the welder.
• more members should add themselves to the Members Wall
