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)
• Plenums should be no longer than 90 minutes.

Next Plenum: Sunday, Oct 29 after the cleanum which starts at 11am

Topics for the Plenum

Projects & Groups update

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

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.

  • Assembled board costs (without OLED):
    • Fully populated: 164EUR + VAT + Shipping for 5pcs (239.21EUR incl. DDP S&H)
    • Cheaper option: omit all components on one side, omit through hole & extended components, order them separately and hand solder them: 77EUR + VAT + Shipping + Components
    • Leftover boards can be used as generic RP2040 devboards, or repurposed for other projects.
  • OLED display (EA OLEDM128-6GGA) costs: 50EUR + VAT for 1 at Mouser
    • We probably don't need more than one. Second one could be useful as a backup.
  • Total cost: 300EUR (fully populated option)
