Topics for the next Plenum

What are you currently working on?

Tell everyone about your current projects.

Thank you

Let's say thank you to those who did some awesome stuff for the space since the last plenum

Stuff from the past

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

20161009 Plenum

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

Is there anything that's bothering you?

Access to design and slicer software in the space is limited.

E.g., LaserCAD and the Slicer for the GermanRepRap is only accessible on the LaserPC. One option would be to provide VPN access to the LaserPC. However, currently only one Login-Session is allowed on that computer. Another option would be to move forward with a Windows Terminal Server that could also provide a plurality of parallel Sessions. Another option would be to have another LaserPC that is just providing the same software for people logging in from remote. Anyway, it would be preferable have the design/slicer software available from remote, so that people who come to the space do not necessarily have to use the software from within the space. People could use their time in the space to socialize more with people in the Space instead of doing isolating computer-oriented tasks.

• • Progress concerning local installations:
    • LaserCAD can be installed in Wine, however it is not very usable when running in Wine
    • LaserCAD works flawlessly in a virtualboxed Windows installation. In ReactOS it is installable with the same trick as used for Wine, yet, the program does not start.

Broken 3D printers

what to do with broken 3D printers which dont belong to the space?

do they have to stay here in our small room for more than a year?

any ideas are welcome --Heiko (talk) 21:46, 20 October 2016 (CEST)

Beamerwall

The HuS wants to open their space to us (and gain a bit of space).

We would replace the static screen with a motor-screen and shift everything back for 50cm.

... discuss?

Space projects - transparency (financially and otherwise)

Lately, there seems to have been some resentment about the way projects the space finances are being done. In order to combat that, I would like to propose that bigger projects should be much more transparent about what is being done, and what that's going to cost (or has cost). This could be done with some sort of kick-off mail and a finalization mail to the mailing list. Longer projects might also post updates while they are being done. In a kick off email, people could describe their rough plan, and a rough estimate of cost. The finalization could also serve as some rough documentation hat was done by whom, and could thus be put in the wiki as well. --Tiefpunkt (talk) 13:22, 23 November 2016 (CET)
