• All things concerning the space should be discussed at a plenum, if possible.
• Everyone who's there can participate in that process, member or otherwise.

Open Questions

• Is there an onboarding mail, if so, how can we make it more conforting and clear?
  • What kind of machines do we have?
  • How many members (currently 80)?
  • How can they contribute?
  • "Haftung" (Insurance) -> Severin participated a workshop on this topic, info coming soon...
• Can we already finance the space only through membership fees?
  • Yes (it is 1600€ warm), but barely.
• We need people to make the boxes. We have material for 3 more boxes. Who wants to help?
• How do we get rid of the big plotter?.

For the next plenum

• Alternating the date: Thursday and Sunday -> Approved
• Saturday Cleaning Session at 11 A.M., because the Wertstoffhof (recycling dumpster) closes at 3 p.m.
• "Who will be the Moderator"-Question.
  • -> People delays it by saying " XYZ wanted also to come"
  • -> Start nevertheless by saying: "Pech gehabt" ("Unfortunate for them") for the sake of puntuality

Stuff from the past

• This time it was more puntual.
• Less dust
• Nico needs help for the wood workshop:
  • It is planned to put a string on top of the wood workshop in a angle, so if we put a robust plastic foil onto it, the dust will be collected away from the walls.
  • Inside a dust collection will be required.
• Thomas calculated the cost for the second floor on top of the wood workshop and it will cost 5k and we are not willing to do big investment (it also costs also time) for a annually limited contract for the space.
• We will buy 3 cabins (Schrank) which is already approved. for the kitchen.
• Election Day: 11st of February
• Eymen will insert the beam combiner into the lasercutter.
