Events

20. - 21.05. - Streetlife Munich We registered to be there and we've got the same size like last year.

The firetruck will also be there again and this time we're even connected to the power grid.

We need to create a Wiki-page and collect stuff to show there.

Space

There has been a meeting with the comp-team (we stopped calling them competence as we stopped believing that).
Outcome has been sent to the mailing list.

Yesterday there has been another meeting between the competence team and somebody from the city.
We didn't yet receive any feedback on what has been discussed so our status is staying the same: We own a storage-space.

New lease contracts are no longer limited until end of 2017 but until end of 2019.
That will hopefully also affect our contract once we receive it.

We're waiting for the "Lokalbaukommision" before signing though to make sure we get to use the space in the way we want to.
We requested feedback from the LBK until end of next week but that seems to be unrealistic.

There is the possibility to request permission for an event at the "KVR" so that it's even possible to hold the event in a storage-space.
The first event will be a bit of a hassle but after that it should get a lot easier.
We should have the competence-team request our Thursday-Meetup for us so that we don't have to pay for it.

There is a possibility that we'll be allowed to use the space again with some restrictions like installing a second door.
As long as we don't have a written confirmation we're not going to spend money on this though.

Another option that is being evaluated is if we could also rent the gatehouse (~4m2) which is an office space and do a mixed use.

Last Friday, Frank Enninger, mentioned that we could use the space as long as it looks like we're doing storage related tasks.
There should be no visit from city officials in the near future to check what we're doing but we shouldn't rely on that.
Should someone from the city notice that we're using the space as a makerspace it could have a negative impact on our stay.

Someone suggested to put foil the windows to block unwanted viewers.
We voted and the majority voted against the foil.

Severin suggested to move our general working area inside the workshop so that it can't be seen from the outside.
The electronics corner also can't be seen and therefore used.

Severin suggested to open the space to all members again once everybody got a personal introduction about the new rules.
This is necessary as quite a few members seem not to have noticed what's going on with the space lately.

Also the door should remain locked even/especially if there is somebody inside - how to automate?
This will prevent unwanted visitors from simply entering.

The majority voted for Severin's suggestion to open up again with these rules:

• Personal intruduction
• Use the workshop or electronics corner
• If you need to use the visible area of the space keep times as short as possible
• Door needs to be locked
• If asked tell them that you're moving boxes :)
