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: Thursday, March 11th 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?

Projects & Groups update

Just a quick update from from of the groups meeting at our space, or other longterm space projects

Stuff from the past

What was discussed at the last Plenum? What's the current status of those things? 20210228 Plenum

Multiroom Audio

  • Started an experiment with two raspis and RCA hats a while ago
 * It's working and the software gets regular updates, but not all features work flawlessly all the time. It requires a reboot sometimes.
 * Raspi 4 (2GB) + Power supply + SD card (etc = 55€) + Raspi RCA Hat 29€ = 84 € per setup, I temporarily deployed two
 * Management can be done via Balena which I setup on a separate account so we can share it

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?

Bringing in (physical) donations

  • Someone (and I have tried to figure out who to contact them directly, but didn't have much success) brought in about 25 cans of paint. We have noticed that about 20 of these cans were not useable anymore - meaning that now we have 20 cans toxic waste at the space that someone needs to take care of getting out of the space. While I think it was good intention, it is a perfect example that we ask to double check (and if in doubt ask) before bringing in such physical donations - the space is not a place where you can just unload trash and dump your toxic waste, but a place where still useable things that you don't need anymore might get a chance to be used BEFORE someone needs to trash it. Thanks :-) --C22 (talk) 13:01, 11 March 2021 (CET)

Things for Newsletter, Social Media & Website News

  • Given that the COVID limitation allows it, we want to offer a CNC workshop on the 27th of March 2021. It will start at 10:30 am to around 4 pm. The workshop and community area in front of the gate would be needed for the cable runs. We hope a lot of MuMaLab Members participate. There is a chance that the video will be able available as VOD. We will be in contact with the board of members to ensure that it is possible to run the livestream at the given time in accordance with our COVID19 hygiene concept. --C22 (talk) 17:06, 8 March 2021 (CET)

Introduce Loomio poll

Give a brief introduction of what you want to be decided on in Loomio before posting it to the Loomio management board


Things to Buy

  • We should get a ashtray in front of the space. Lot of cigs get thrown on the ground in front of the space - it's pretty bad for the environment and also looks ugly. We already mounted one over at "Alte Feuerwehr" and it drastically reduced the amounts of cigs thrown on the ground. Alte Feuerwehr is using this model for around 40 €.
