   Things concerning the space should be discussed at a plenum.
   Everyone who's there can participate in that process, member or otherwise.
   Everyone can head a plenum, no need for board members to do that.
   Topics should ideally be announced on the Plenum wiki page beforehand

Stuff from the past

What was discussed at the last Plenum? What's the current status of those things? 20181108 Plenum

Anything you don't feel comfortable within the space? What would you like to change or to be changed?

Is there anything that's bothering you?

   Respektvoller Umgang untereinander im Sinne von Sachen nach Benutzung aufräumen wäre wirklich angebracht. Das Problem summiert sich leider.
   Kurz und kanpp: jeder räumt seinen Kram selbst wieder auf und lässt nicht einfach seinen Kram rumliegen 

Aktionen:

   Reminder per eMail an alle (German)
   Beschriftung verbessern, den Dingen einen klaren Ort geben

Status of our space

Let's show some details in case somebody missed that the last time and give an update on the status

   Bisher nichts schriftliches zur Abstimmung.

   The outside particle sensor is kinda broken. Uli took it from the wall today (2018-11-18) since the USB power cable was already disconnected since 4 days (at least the logs didn't show any results since then) and had a closer look on it. It is pretty dirty and German and Uli tried to disassemble and clean it, but the box cannot be opened without destroying it. Last try was to use some compressed air to clean blow it - and it seemed to work =).
   Severin, Uli & German will fix open issues within this week (Severin has some spareparts)

    Unfortunately the tip of the soldering-iron is kinda messed-up. for my scope of application it is still good enough, but Uli again) recently heard some complaints and the wish to replace it. since it is highly probable, that I messed it up during my soldering learning sessions, I would be willing to sponsor a new tip, when we order a new one. if we have a spare one left, I would be interested in learning how to replace it, if someone got time for that.

    We might have the opportunity to receive a rack from the soon to be replaced SuperMUC Phase 2 supercomputer from the LRZ through Ruben who vists the lab on Occasion. Apperently, they will trash the hardware otherwise, so I'm assuming it'd be free. Asking whether I should express interest in the MuMaLab's name or not. (Bennet)    Plenum Decision: we want to have it !!
