In order to show what's going on at and around the space, we've decided to create a weekly newsletter.


== CW 36 ==
We started archiving them here, more recent newsletters can be found in the [https://lists.munichmakerlab.de/pipermail/discuss/ Mailinglist Archives].
=== Streetlife ===
This is coming directly from the Streetlife Festival! =D
Everything is running smoothly and it's great fun to be here! Come tomorrow if you like, we'll be here till 2200.

=== Multifactory Workshops ===
Previous years:
We ended the last week with two great video workshops, one at HEi and one in our space. Great fun, now it's off to make some videos. For starters, Lorenza and Giulio did two walkthrough videos of the space, check them out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XET8952wOg8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhYeS7Y-0LE.
* [[Archive:Newsletter/2016|2016]]
We still have to work on the eWindow, it's not quite working yet. Maybe a geekend some time in October to get it fully functional?


=== T-shirts ===
Please contribute to the newsletter, by posting to #newsletter in our [https://slack.munichmakerlab.de/ Slack], or by adding content directly, as described in our [[Archive:Newsletter/HowTo|HowTo]].
Moar T-shirts! Who is interested in ordering new MuMaLab Shirts?
Last time we got them from shirtinator.eu, for around 25€ apice (with two prints, on high quality shirts)


=== Marketing stuff ===
<div class="toclimit-1">__TOC__</div>
We need more stuff with our logo and fancy texts and pictures! Business Cards are almost in the making, some flyers would be awesome. Anyone willing to throw in their awazing design skills? Let us know. We should also do another stickers run, supplies are getting low. Any new designs?


== CW35 ==
== CW 04 ==
=== Plenum ===
Our shortest Plenum ever, with only 20 minutes runtime!
You can find the protocol here: https://wiki.munichmakerlab.de/wiki/20170126_Plenum


=== Multifactory ===
=== Member Stuff and Space Shutdown reminder ===
Last day of the eWindow workshop today. There's some software and electronics magic going on at the space later, and some more actual building of the windows at Werkbox3. Tomorrow, there's a video workshop at HEi, which starts at 11am. Feel free to join anytime. The second part of the workshop will be at our space again, on Sunday. I've heard there might be some BBQ going on in the afternoon on Sunday. More on everything as usual on https://multifactory.hackpad.com/Multifactory-Project-Munich-F5xvmQpW6Wy, and if want to take a look at the software magic, check out https://github.com/munichmakerlab/ewindow
we already took one of the work tables in the middle of the space out and set up pallets for you to start packing your stuff on. Again, please put your member boxes (up to three) on there. They have to be closed with a lid, taped shut, and properly labeled. Everything that's not on there until Feb 12th is fair game for give-away for donations, which will be for building the new space.


=== Streetlife ===
== CW 03 ==
Only one more week until the Streetlife festival. Who's coming? What should we bring and show off? Let's do some planning in the wiki: https://wiki.munichmakerlab.de/wiki/Streetlife_Festival and on flowdock: https://www.flowdock.com/app/mumalab/streetlife-festival
=== Plenum ===
 
Very very efficent plenum this week. Find the meeting minutes right here: https://wiki.munichmakerlab.de/wiki/20170119_Plenum. Important takeaways in the following sections.
=== Lasercutter ===
The lasercutter seems to be having some hicups lately. Looks like it's time to do another maintenance day. If you want to help and learn more awesome laser skills, check out the #lasercutter flow on Flowdock: https://www.flowdock.com/app/mumalab/lasercutter. In the meantime, please be gentle with it (well, you should always be gentle with it, actually).

=== Member Stuff and Space Shutdown ===
Martin let's us know that the next MAKE MUNICH will take place on May 6th+7th 2017. Please help us and join the organizing team: send us an email to info@make-munich.de. A kickoff meeting will be announced soon.
Beginning of February (or in the last days of January), we'll take out the two work tables in the middle of the space, and replace them with Europallets to start packing together stuff. Please put your member boxes (up to three) on there. They have to be closed with a lid, taped shut, and properly labeled. Everything that's not on there until Feb 12th is fair game for give-away for donations, which will be for building the new space.


=== This Newsletter ===
=== Lost & Found ===
Do you like it? Any ideas for imporving it? If you want something added, just drop a line with #newsletter in the flowdock main channel, and we'll try to put it in here. We're also keeping an archive at https://wiki.munichmakerlab.de/wiki/Newsletter
If you have lost something at the space, and it hasn't shown up until now, please consider putting it up on this wiki page: https://wiki.munichmakerlab.de/wiki/Lost%26Found.

=== Multifactory Project ===
=== LED projector conversion ===
You know what's cool? One makerspace. You know what's even cooler? More makerspaces!
Our projector lamp broke a few weeks back. Heiko, Nicolai, Peter and Rene took on the task of converting that to one bright LED. Check it out right here: http://log.munichmakerlab.de/post/155592638795/the-lamp-of-our-trash-found-beamer-finally-gave
That's what the Offene Werkstätten folks thought, so they started an initative to get the spaces in Munich to collaborate. Together with FabLab, HEi and Werkbox3, we will take part in the first Multifactory Project workshop week, from August 29th til September 9th.
The LED (25w AC cob) turned out to be not bright enough. If you have something bigger sitting in a box and want to help the efforts, contact them.
There'll be two parts, a 2 day video workshop where we'll create some videos about our spaces, and a 2+ days workshop to build eWindows (video connections between the spaces). You can find more informaation at http://www.offene-werkstaetten.org/seite/multifactory-netzwerk and the full schedule at https://multifactory.hackpad.com/Multifactory-Project-Munich-F5xvmQpW6Wy.
We'll kick it off on Monday, August29th, 6pm, at the HEi. Join us!


=== Plenum & cleanup ===
=== Broken 3D printers ===
The next Plenum and cleanup session is on the 14. August. We will start at 1400 to clean, and will start the Plenum right after.
The Neo and X350 are out of order, until further notice. Please don't try to fix them yourself (that broke them in the first place), and get in contact with ThomasE and Joerg if you want to help.
Part of the cleanup is looking at the stuff in free-to-use and sort the trash out.
If you have some stuff for the Plenum, go right here: https://wiki.munichmakerlab.de/wiki/Plenum
