== Social Media ==
* We still have an account on X (formerly known as Twitter). Due to all that's been happening over there, I'd suggest to lock that down and not use it anymore. Deletion may not be the best solution, but setting it to private and clearly stating that we don't want to use it anymore. We could also open up an alternative account on Mastodon, e.g. on muenchen.social or chaos.social. (Note: I won't be at the Plenum to discuss this, but would still like to see some kind of feedback. Happy to also discuss this on Slack) --[[User:Tiefpunkt|Tiefpunkt]] ([[User talk:Tiefpunkt|talk]]) 22:46, 19 November 2023 (CET)


** In favor of keeping it BUT adding mastodon handle to the account name before we take it offline in 3-6 month? in favor of using chaos.social as 99% future proof and well maintained. --[[User:C22|ⓒ②②]] ([[User talk:C22|🅃🄰🄻🄺]]) 22:55, 19 November 2023 (CET)
== Things for Newsletter, Social Media & Website News ==


* Our website is still "powered" by our tumblr log. This seems like it's not exactly future proof. Do we have any ideas on how to deal with that or improve that situation? --[[User:Tiefpunkt|Tiefpunkt]] ([[User talk:Tiefpunkt|talk]]) 22:46, 19 November 2023 (CET)


** As long as it is working and we have backups of the posts (do we?) I actually don't mind. It is still better than XYZ framework or WP that isn't being maintained OR bothersome for the few people that want to post content. --[[User:C22|ⓒ②②]] ([[User talk:C22|🅃🄰🄻🄺]]) 22:55, 19 November 2023 (CET)
== Introduce Loomio poll ==


== Our IT infrastructure ==
We run two VMs "in the cloud" as well as some infrastructure in the lab itself, + quite some supporting stuff that's handled by individuals. Some of it is getting old™ and may need some love/regular maintenance. Who'd be up to help support this? Some tasks that come to mind:
* Update our mailing list (Mailman 2 to 3 is a bit of a difficult migration)
* Revisiting our complete mail setup
* Updating the wiki and it's extensions, potentially thinking about some more automation here as well
* Doing a bit of a scan and documentation of all the services we still have running
* Backups!
--[[User:Tiefpunkt|Tiefpunkt]] ([[User talk:Tiefpunkt|talk]]) 22:46, 19 November 2023 (CET)


* ^ The above means the services running in the pit, not the switch rack that is above ground. It is actively being maintained by me/backup Aaron. (see [[List of Contacts]]) --[[User:C22|ⓒ②②]] ([[User talk:C22|🅃🄰🄻🄺]]) 22:58, 19 November 2023 (CET)
== Things to Buy ==
 
== Wiki Spam ==
We would like to try a new way to combat wiki spam. We get a lot of bogus account requests each day, which is a bit of a hustle to deal with. One thing we could try is to have one question as part of the request process, which requires a bit of knowledge of the space. We could compile a list of these questions, maybe the Plenum has some ideas? (Don't write the answers down here, that would kind of defeat the purpose.) From my perspective, I feel like it's always a thin line of make wiki signup even more complicated, as it hinders people adding to this knowledge base, but also we don't want too much bogus requests to bog us down. What do you think? --[[User:Tiefpunkt|Tiefpunkt]] ([[User talk:Tiefpunkt|talk]]) 22:46, 19 November 2023 (CET)
 
* I suggest adding an answer that does not make sense to bots and that they can not figure out instead of 20 questions which makes it hard for new people and hard for us (to figure out right questions). My proposal is: Random question, answer string next to the WiFi PW + Slack (e.g. welcome message or description in the main channel). Right now people usually communicate that they need a wiki account so most of the time it will be like "Yep, just register, the answer to the question is spikefish". --[[User:C22|ⓒ②②]] ([[User talk:C22|🅃🄰🄻🄺]]) 22:52, 19 November 2023 (CET) (ps bots, its not spikefish, kthxbye)
 
== Better oscilloscope for the electronics lab (q3k) ==


I brought a [[SDS1202XE|Siglent SDS 1202X-E]] (with two probes) to the lab. It's my secondary/travel oscilloscope, which means I only need it when I'm travelling to hacker events, etc. Otherwise I never use it, so it might as well stay at the lab.
* Here is a list of things that we should hereby decide to put into the [[Consumables]] page:
** Electrical & double-sided tape
** Filament for Lab use (any kind of material, not only PLA)
** CO2 Cartridges for the Sodaclub
** Heat Shrink
** Cartridges for the label writers
** Foils for the laminator
** Disposable gloves


I would like to leave it there, because we really need a proper digital oscilloscope.

Latest revision as of 19:05, 21 November 2024


The Plenum is a regular meeting of all people involved with the space to talk about things and decide stuff. If you have any topics to add, go right ahead! Please sign your points with your name (by adding a "--~~~~" after your text).

After the Plenum, please follow the tasks outlined in Cycling the Plenum to archive the discussion.

Preamble

  • The Plenum is an institution to decide what the space should look like, physically and in other ways, such as virtually.
  • Things concerning the space should be discussed at a plenum.
  • Everyone on-site can participate in that process, member or otherwise.
  • Everyone can lead a plenum; no need for board members to do that.
  • Topics should ideally be announced on the Plenum wiki page beforehand.
  • The Plenum should be held in a language that everyone participating understands.
  • Scheduling: Second Thursday of the month at 8 pm and the last Sunday after the cleanup (which starts at 11 am)
  • Plenums should be no longer than 90 minutes.

Next Plenum: Sunday, 24.11.2024 at 11AM


Topics for the Plenum

What are you currently working on?

Projects & Groups update

This is a quick update from group meetings at our space, other long-term space projects (e.g., Lasercutter, CNC, etc.) or of the lab internal projects.

Vorstand updates

Say Thank you

MiniJobs

If you want to be mentioned at the previous section as well, one of the easiest ways is to take one of our MiniJobs. This is a great way to participate in the Munich Maker Lab e.V. and contributing time helps keeping our space in a good shape. You can find all information about the scope of the available jobs on MiniJobs.
