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 at 11am

Next Plenum: Thursday, July 9th at 8pm.

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.

What are you currently working on?

Tell everyone about your current projects and stuff you've done for the space

Say Thank you

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

  • German and Meier for building the SpaceCheckin station, tim bodeit und aaron for code reviews & additional help
  • Sven, German, Annika, Bernhard, P373R for working on getting the laser back up and running & David for preparing new filters
  • Sven and German for getting new welding gas, Severin for reserving it at the local Bauhaus
  • Severin for getting a new pressure regulator for the welder, and some other metal working supplies for the workshop
  • Matthias and Severin for keeping the space IT stuff afloat
  • Aaron/German for finishing the kitchen lights
  • Bernhard & German for pouring some concrete to fix the entrance floor
  • Bernhard continuing getting the space CNC ready with the new controller and wiring all endstops, christoph G & friend helping to get the CNC wired up etc, Rene for configuring the machine + calibrating it.
  • Christoph G. for his continous effords on making the space great again and getting proper tools
  • Chris B. for cleaning the Lab Air with his Storagebox Air Filter
  • Meier/German for the progress on the PIT-Grid-Situation

Stuff from the past

What was discussed at the last Plenum? What's the current status of those things? 20200611 Plenum

Space move

  • Status update Lasercutter
  • Short overview over what's done and what tasks are still unfinished in the pit

Workshop update

  • Status update CNC Mill
  • We have new safety goggles (different types) (20191229_Plenum)
  • We have cleaning towel (primarily as anti-covid-please-desinfect-measure, but they are great for everything else as well ;) ) - We plan to add a dispenser at the poison cabinet.
  • Standing drill update (if meier is around?)
  • We reinforced the wood plate holder

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?

  • Social Media: We need semi-public access to social-media so people can make posts or advertisements for the lab
  • The website needs a little bit of rework. Currently, stuff like Equipment is in the wiki. But the step from the website to the less simple wiki is huge when somebody is just looking for a space to do something specific and wants to see if he can do it in our maker space (like the laser cutter for example)
  • Some people still have a second storage closet which is against our policy and decisions made in earlier plenums.
  • Coffee machine still has a password and is a good example for the way things currently are in the lab
  • The shelf with storage crates we made specifically for either very tall or disabled people is used by people not really fitting in these categories
  • Some people throw away stuff without asking beforehand or just deciding things on their own
  • There is an increasing problem with discrimination, hate, aggressiveness, and active obstruction on people trying to actively work on or for the space

Plenum frequency

There seems to be a little bit of uncertainty about the current frequency of Plenums. For the past four months, we've had one monthly Plenum, on a Thursday. The Plenum Preamble notes two Plenum dates per month. And to make things even more unclear, there have been discussions about moving and canceling Plenum dates in the past (20200310 Plenum), without properly documented decisions. So let's clarify this (and note it down properly). --Tiefpunkt (talk) 18:07, 24 June 2020 (CEST)

  • the documentation (and I have not written that protocol) is complete from my PoV. Sunday plenums were not discussed, it was discussed to revert the change of plenums from Thursdays to Tuesdays. --C22 (talk) 19:15, 27 June 2020 (CEST)
  • It was discussed to instead of moving from Thursdays to Tuesdays, to move the Sunday Plenum to Tuesday, since the Sunday Plenum Attendees liked Tuesday so much. It is not mentioned in the documentation, therefore its incomplete. -- Alex

Things for Newsletter, Social Media & Website News

  • CNC update
  • Lasercutter update
  • Part 1 of the community area work finished

Continuous communication vs. The Plenum

I feel like many things we regularly discuss at the plenum could be easily solved or replaced by one of the many other means of communication we have, such as slack, mailing list or contact to a specific group such as the awareness team or the board. It seems to me that we carry stuff from plenum to plenum, but in the meantime don't really do much to move forward, even though we have a bunch of tools as our disposal. I'm curious if there are others sharing that same feeling, and what we could do about it. --Tiefpunkt (talk) 00:08, 30 June 2020 (CEST)

Präsentation/Erklärung im Plenum

~MrSpeaky

  • My laminator broke while laminating the check-in-out-station stuff. (Unfortunately the heating element and not the electronics...) As I have mainly laminated stuff for the space/members of the space anyway, it would be great to get a replacement unit. It was a Olympia A 396Plus capeable of laminating A3 which is about 35€ incl. shipping. --C22 (talk) 11:23, 8 July 2020 (CEST)
  • Would be great to get a small "Handkehrwagen" to speed up cleaning outside of the space. We are doing it manually right now but it is a lot of surface area and it takes a lot of time. A handkehrwagen for around 100€ could also be used to clean up within the workshop/space. --C22 (talk) 11:23, 8 July 2020 (CEST)
