Plenum

The Plenum is a regular meeting of all people involved with the space to talk about things and decide stuff. If you have any topics to add, go right ahead! Please sign your points with your name (by adding a "--~~~~" after your text).

After the Plenum, please follow the tasks outlined in Cycling the Plenum to archive the discussion.

Preamble

• The Plenum is an institution to decide 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 on-site can participate in that process, member or otherwise.
• Everyone can lead 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 8 pm and the last Saturday after the cleanup (which starts at 4 PM)
• Plenums should be no longer than 90 minutes.

Next Plenum: Saturday, June 27th after the cleanup (around 6:00 PM)

Topics for the Plenum

Projects & Groups update

This is a quick update from group meetings at our space, other long-term space projects (e.g., Lasercutter, CNC, etc.) or of the lab internal projects.

• Our neighbours: Werkbox3 have a regular repair cafe and have not enough "repair helper" at the moment. If anyone has fun on repair jobs and want to support their volunteer work. Just get in contact with Oliver Megele in our slack. The repair cafe is happening every first thursday of the month at 6 o'clock pm. If we now how it's going and have enough people we could also offer this in the Munich Maker Lab. There is also a nice funding for such projects from the Bavarian state. -- Milian

What would you like to change or to be changed? Anything you don't feel comfortable with within the space?

The project boxes all have been occupied by the same people for month now. I thing we should find a better solution so that people can use them when they need but not for that long without paying. -Nico

Things to Buy

(Per-plenum spending limit for purchases that belong together: 250€. Larger amounts go through a loomio poll.
To get back your paid money send the invoice(s) to finance@munichmakerlab.de within 3 month. Extension of this time-frame needs to be approve by the Plenum beforehand. Make sure to have a separated invoice for Lab purchases)

• The first part of the new workbench cost 42,56€ more than original requested (due to different offerings at the home depot now). 20260328 Plenum => Request for the remaining money since the result is very nice. Milian & Marco
