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: Thursday, December 11 at 20:00

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.

New Mail Setup

We moved to an external E-Mail Provider, which gives us some more possibilities with less stuff to maintain. It's already live, but still in test phase. Our new mailling lists (e.g. for our external phasing info address) are available here: https://lists.munichmakerlab.de/

You need to register again, since we did not migrate any lists to the new setup. The old discuss list was not setup at the moment, because it was not used over the last years, but can be activated easily, if we need it again.

More details can be found in the #infrastructure channel. --Milian

New Donation: Technical Parts Arrived

We received a large private donation of various technical parts from an external donor. He reached out via Instagram but skipped sending photos beforehand and dropped everything off in a rush on Thursday. The stuff is great overall, just a reminder: always ask in Slack or at plenum before bringing items to the lab. Sorting and disposing unneeded things takes a lot of work.

It includes mostly electronics, plus CNC and lasercutter parts. Check the #electronics-lab Slack channel for free-to-take items, with more photos of specific kits coming soon (we lack space/use for them).

Decisions Needed

• Small CNC in basement: We already have one, should we get rid of it? Who can ask around for takers or handle disassembly?
• Big flat diode laser (portable setup?): Is it useful? Who wants to take charge?

Bambu and Lambu

Just some nice facts: Our two Bambu Lab printer have know around 1000 and 1300 hours of printing time. Seems to have been a good purchase. :-)

Get Involved

If you want to be mentioned at the previous section as well, one of the easiest ways is to take one of our MiniJobs or to get involved in one of our Lab Projects.

This is a great way to participate in the Munich Maker Lab and contributing time helps to keep our space in a good shape.

Current key topics looking for additional support:

• Social Media
• Fixing the Kärcher Vacuum
