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?

20170112 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?

• The overall bad tone and atmosphere, especially in the chat, is sometimes annoying and getting worse. Be excellent to each other.

Accessing LaserCAD or Slicer Software is limited

Note: was postponed at last plenum

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.

TodoList-Tool

We are looking for a tool for a while now (to replace the old mantis setup), possible solution could be trello: https://trello.com/mumalab

• Matthias to demonstrate tool and possibilities
• Plenum to decide on further usage or not

Sponsorship

The new space and the build-up require a lot of money. There are some ideas, e.g.

• Apply for the Förderung der Stadt München "Münchener Kindl"
• Talk to all Baumarktketten (for sponsored material) and other big companies (IKEA for furniture)
• Make some PR on our relocation and ask for donations (PR is cheap advertisement)

Is this approach OK with the Plenum?

We also might some presentation and data about the club (e.g. percentage of youth, foreigner, achievements) - is this ok to publish?
