Plenum

The Plenum is a regular meeting of all people involved with the space to talk about things, and decide stuff.

If you have stuff to add, go right ahead! Please sign your points with your name (by adding a "--~~~~" after your text).

Preamble

• The Plenum is an institution to decide on 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 who's there can participate in that process, member or otherwise.
• Everyone can head 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 8pm and last Sunday after the cleanup (which starts at 11am)

Next Plenum: Sunday, January 30th at 12pm

Topics for the Plenum

Disclaimer online plenum

Holding an online plenum is no new process and we will only do this do try it out during the time the space is closed. Doing online plenums in the future needs plenum approval. In case we decide to do online plenums in the future this acts as a proof of concept.

Say Thank you

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

• German for cleaning the top of the storage boxes
• Meier for cleaning out the free to use laser material storage
• Galactic thanks to German & Meier for relentless continued work on the laser cutter (and Aaron for a little support)
• Elisabeth for washing the towels
• Paulin & Bennet for donating various useful stuff (12v power supplies & solenoid valves)

Stuff from the past

What was discussed at the last Plenum? What's the current status of those things? 20220113 Plenum

• Remember that the laser material storage rules changed. If you have not put a name and date on your sheets yet, please make sure to do so by end of February. Everyone can store materials for 3 months with the possibility to extend.

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

Is there anything that's bothering you?

• Please do not put the wooden cut boards in the dish washer. It breaks them :-( If you want to use a cutting board that you can put into the dish washer, please use the glass one. --C22 (talk) 12:14, 25 January 2022 (CET)

Proposal for a fixed date for space/workshop/machine introductions

Often people ask for an introduction of the space or training for using machines. In the past this was done by planning a date person to person or ad-hoc. I propose set a fixed date once a month for these intorductions. A good candidate for a date would be the plenum thursday at 7pm (or 6pm if necessary). Also a registration (etix, eventim or similar) would be useful. With registration a date can be cancelled if there are no registrations (say up to the monday before the date) and we can prevent overcrowding (especially while covid is still limiting us).

Things to Buy

• Do we want to keep the Multi-Room audio setup? The space would profit from the cheap price at which the Raspis were bought two years back. It is 169€ including: 2 x Raspi 4 2 GB, 2 x Audio Hat, 2 x 32 GB Sandisk sd card, 2 x official raspi power supply. --C22 (talk) 09:54, 28 January 2022 (CET)
