Stuff from the past

What was discussed at the last Plenum? What's the current status of those things? 20191114 Plenum

• Nothing new regarding Werkbox3
• Tools are missing but we decided to order boxes for a better organisation - group order ends tomorrow
• Somebody needs to plan the christmas party on the 5th of december, but it's definitely going to happen
• We now have a metal band saw
• The doorlock we have fits the new door so we don't need to spend another 300-800€

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?

• Alex CNC - Space for the machine was approved but it now uses 2m of additional desk space for a multi monitor PC, a lot of our tools are lying around, 4square meters of floor are covered in metal scrap, ...

=> Bernhad will talk it out with Alex

• Threatment of private tools - People are bringing their private tools so please threat them carefully
• Always the same few people helping at the move

The new space

• So far we've officially spent 900€ on the move
• The wood and metal workshop started moving to the new space
• We've got a signed rent contract now
• David is trying to get us registered as a "culturally worthwhile" rent party which would possibly help us with stuff like rent cuts

Things to Buy

Things to buy for projects related to the space.

• 60€ for a power supply station for for the soldering station => approved
• 120€ for a network cabinet => approved
• 100€ for backbords for the new kitchen => approved

Decision about the pit and a platform

There are two ideas about the Pit:

• Build a platform above the pit which will raise the ceiling down there
  • A LOT of work and it will cost about 1000€
  • More space in the middle of the pit so you can walk down there
  • An even floor in the main community area
  • We can route cables underneath the floor
  • Will limit our ability to move pallets around
• Remove the metal border around the pit and make it more or less even
  • Easy to do
  • Cheap
  • Space should be enough down there

Both have advantages. Let's decide. For extremely tall or disabled people we can also have space for a few boxes in the main space. We'll not build a platform. If the city decides that we absolutely can't remove the metal ridge we'll redecide.
