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. http://log.munichmakerlab.de/day/2016/09/10

Multifactory Workshops

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. 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

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

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?

Multifactory

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

Streetlife

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

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).

Make Munich 2017

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.

CW34

Multifactory

We did some more tests for the eWindow. Parts are in the mail now, so let's meet up on Monday, 6pm, at HEi for the kick off. https://multifactory.hackpad.com/Multifactory-Project-Munich-F5xvmQpW6Wy Also, if you know some JS and would like to build some software for the ewindow, hit me up.

Hydroponics

Peter is reinventing the wheel, with plants in it. Oh, and the watercress. It's spreading /o\

Money for drinks

We got a new cash box thingie for drinks money. Please put bills in the "big" safe box, and cash in the small one.

Streetlife

Streetlife is coming up fast, so Heiko is making some plans on how to do our booth. If you got any good ideas, share them with him.

Multifactory Project Update

Small update, we managed to get a video link based on WebRTC going in preparation of the Multifactory workshop. https://multifactory.hackpad.com/Multifactory-Project-Munich-F5xvmQpW6Wy. Remember, we'll kick it off on Monday, August29th, 6pm, at the HEi. Join us!

Cleanup

Some major cleaning was going on before the plenum last Sunday. We cleaned out the free-to-hack shelves, which are super tidy right now (let's try to keep them that way). Thanks to everyone who participated!

Plenum

The plenum was productive and fun as always. You can find the notes here: https://wiki.munichmakerlab.de/wiki/20160814_Plenum

Money for drinks

To something not so fun: it seems as someone is not only not paying for drinks, but activly stealing from the cash box. We will introducte a second, locked register for paper money. And please watch our for unknown persons throwing greedy looks to the box.

What grows there?

Not mold but watercress! Have a look at:

CW 32

Newsletter

We heard you like news. So here's the newest news, wrapped in a newsletter: We now have a newsletter! We thought about how it inform everybody about what's happening and went back to this. Because. it. works! ... expect one every week until we think differently about that (or we forget about it). If you have something that should go in the Newsletter: Post it into 'Main' in Flowdock and attach the #newsletter hashtag.

Street Life Festival

We have our own booth at the next Street Life Festival! A small one, about as wide as Severin's Fire truck. Which will be on there to provide power and Mate. It's on the weekend from the 10 - 11 September. Find more info here: http://www.streetlife-festival.de/ ... BeeDooBeeDooo

Multifactory Project

You know what's cool? One makerspace. You know what's even cooler? More makerspaces! 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. 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

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. 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
