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, Aug 13th 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.

Is there anything that's bothering you?

The Lasercutter has random upload errors. ( e.g. it takes the same time to upload a 2mb file as it takes to upload a 37mb file) when talking to rene he suggested the flash drive of the Lasercontroller might be broken. The problem was temporarily resolved by formatting the internal memory, but now keeps reoccuring. --BotoxBitch

Things to Buy

  • It would be nice if the workshop has an assortment of good quality general purpose screws available. We often need screws for projects that are done for the club. People should still bring their own consumables for private projects, but small amounts should be available for everyone (donations welcome). Instead of buying screws ad-hoc in various qualities and with different drives it would be nice to have a uniform assortment from one vendor with a uniform drive. Online shops sell SPAX™ screws cheaper than the local DIY store (e.g. I orderd some SPAX that cost less online than the Dresselhaus screws at Hornbach). I propose to set a yearly budget for ordering screws in bulk. The orders could be documented on a wiki page. The same page could also have a section to prepare the next order in advance, so input on what is needed can be collected. Initially I would try 2 orders/year at approximatly €100 per order. So far the cheapest offer I found was at https://se-shop24.de/, if anyone knows a better source please tell me. --Meier (talk) 09:18, 15 July 2020 (CEST)
  • Vacuum adapter for workshop. https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07NZ5N75S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9rRdFb75KQHX4 ~€20 to attach to the central dust collection vac. --Meier (talk) 09:50, 15 July 2020 (CEST)
  • Drill sharpener. Most of the drills we have in the workshop are dull. Instead of buying new drills over and over again we could sharpen them ourselves. https://www.amazon.de/Schleifger%C3%A4t-Bohrer-Bohrerschleifger%C3%A4t-Metall-Bohrer-sch%C3%A4rfen/dp/B081B4CYZJ. ~€45 lookst to be identical to Holzmann Maschinen BSG 13E and Optimum Bohrerschleifgerät GQ-D13 --Meier (talk) 13:00, 16 July 2020 (CEST)
