Plenum

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) Saturday after the cleanup (which starts at 4pm)

Topics for the Plenum

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.

• the demo-shelf upgrade has been done. Please ping us, if you have ideas for new extensions. -- Milian & Friedjof
• outdoor fairy light is installed and integrated into the home assistant. The cabeling will be improved soon and will then be also water and winter proof, so the fairy light can stay outside the whole year. It also be taken down quite easily e.g. for external events and can be used with a dimmer. -- Milian

Say Thank you

• Chris B. for lending his big air fan for the space to have some better cooling airflow on hot days.
• The anonymous woman who just came by and donated us an addtional fan
• Marco for bringing the old oven to the recycle center
• Phil for updating the table saw blades
• Alex for upgrading the vacuum boom
• Aaron for the current management of the machine courses
• Chris K for buying fresh drinks

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.

Things to Buy

- 4€/Month for Hetzner 1TB storage box

We run several Hetzner VMs for our web infrastructure (like wiki etc.) for around 20€ a month. 2 old ones, which will phase out in the future when also the mail setup is migrated and one that host our current infrastructure. The IT group want to add a Nextcloud to the setup, which we can be used for several internal topics in the future (Calender, shared storage etc.), but this will need some dedicated storage. Furthermore, it would be good to have a Maker Lab owned storage for external backups in addtion to our local NAS. Therefore I want to rent an so called Hetzner Storage box with 1TB online storage as addtion to our current servers. -- Milian
