| | === Minutes === | | === Minutes === |
| − | ;11 people present --> majority thus 6
| + | ==== Review ==== |
| − | * 12h topic rule: 6 for kill
| + | ===== Sat-Dish ===== |
| − | * noise-free: has it been introduced or not? please don't exceed noise levels, even when using headphones
| + | Issue is still cables that need to go in and out of the building, nobody present was really in the know about that issue. |
| − | ** just tell people if they go on your nerves
| + | Also, we don't know who should have asked the commune to drill the hole. |
| − | * no acquisitions where made concerning drill, etc
| + | |
| − | * hardware acquisitions... (lego mindstorms, 4 sets of mindstorms rcx could be retrieved, so could be a couch of up to 2m, and additional lockers, bisly's got a keyboard/synthesizer)
| + | |
| − | * soldering tips have not yet been bought
| + | |
| − | * pcb etching equipment is actually available
| + | |
| − | * two video projectors (sins replacement bulbs) were brought in by macfreak
| + | |
| − | * Ask schools if they have spare Ikea Expedit
| + | |
| − | * '''A drill should be acquired''' (around 50€ ?)
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Working Groups activity reports ==== | + | ===== Circles ===== |
| − | * '''Public Relations:''' dropped facebook group, now only using the page, dropped zap account, had talks with agendas for automatical event propagation)
| + | Circles are done, pins are there, all that needs to be done is to paint the wall. |
| − | * '''Facilities & Catering:''' almost out of club-mate, [[NPU]] brought some crates today, will we stay with the same 'provider' (ordering a minimum of 40 crates at once) or switch to a supplier that is cheaper that will require us to pick up the crates in Trier? We should either stay with the same supplier or look for another supplier who'd also deliver.
| + | [[User:Lala|Lala]] will see if they still have some white paint left. |
| − | : Did we ever talk to '''DrinX (Munhowen)'''? Faccat will try to see whether they'll take it into their offer. | + | We also need to apply some paste first for the screws and joints. |
| − | * '''web & server management:''' ddos by arte, what did really happen? do we have stats? no we don't as the server went 'lala' too soon.
| + | |
| − | : mediawiki got upgraded, so did redmine, logwatch did weird stuff parsing two years old logs, httpd benchmarks will be performed on trollchen's server
| + | |
| − | * '''landlord relations:''' the internet went down, smb cut down the line and blamed us. They found this issue after some calls. Had good talks with Schmidt, for more than an hour. The dish can be put on the roof, a call was dispatched to the mayor. A friend of Marc's could take a look at access to the roof. "Sure, you can do whatever you want".
| + | |
| − | * Satdish can be put up. We never got a contract, not sure if we should insist. Submitted funding request to the commune this week. Will the satdish survice storms? Sandbacks will secure the dish on the roof. Discussion got into modifications to the roof. (Balcony anyone?) Updates on the bank account. Some people still have access to the accounts, though they shouldn't ;)
| + | |
| − | * '''Camp-Orga ''' Is there somebody who could do the coordination? Kwisatz, Sim0n and Prometheus, cannot. If nobody is available, we might have to cancel the contract asap. We will give ourselves two weeks time to decide, maybe smb will step up by then.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Working groups evaluation ==== | + | ===== Internet Connection ===== |
| − | * Working groups make sense as long as they're staffed, distributing tasks among multiple groups makes sense to some.
| + | The locker wasn't checked for the the letter that ought to be sent. [[User:Sim0n|Sim0n]] checked during the meeting. |
| − | * Pubrel vs. Evdev.. '''There should be more communication between those two groups.'''
| + | A copy of the letter has gone over the office mailing list. [[User:Mich|Mich]] will check whether he will find the letter on his disk. |
| − | : Improving communication would be preferred over merging these two groups.
| + | The letter needs to be signed and sent away. |
| − | * Merging Faccat & Spila?
| + | |
| − | : A meeting between those two groups in the next couple of days should clarify things
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== pubrel ==== | + | ===== SSL-Cert letter ===== |
| − | * '''make sure everyone from the pubrel group has access to the announce mailing list.'''
| + | Though [[User:Trollchen|Trollchen]] announced to write that letter in two weeks from last Bootstrap, but no letter was written. |
| − | * publish more in the press? what?
| + | [[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] has thus taken up the task. |
| − | * we will get an interview in a luxembourgish free magazine
| + | |
| − | * do things where you're sure to get press (grl hit & run)
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Getting more people to the space ===== | + | ===== Calendar ===== |
| − | * Do another session of the soldering workshop and distribute flyers in Strassen
| + | [[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] brought a wooden pane where the calendar could be glued to. |
| − | * Have diverse talks and workshops by...?!
| + | We will do that tonight. |
| − | * the-network.lu (business women network, it-departments)
| + | |
| − | * having geocaching, sushi workshops, chocolate keyboards worked,
| + | |
| − | * mobile hackerspace, have a booth at museums, scout-meets, join every possible related fair, exhibition-galleries, present people's projects.
| + | |
| − | * let your ideas sprout and the evdev group help you out.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== PayPal account (or any other online payment) ====
| + | The same restrictions as for the circles apply, ie. the wall should be painted first. |
| − | * does the space as an entity agree to using paypal?
| + | |
| − | * are there alternatives?
| + | |
| − | * almost everyone is in favour of the principle of having online payments
| + | |
| − | * we will have '''up to two days of inquiring into alternative online payment providers'''
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== CleanSpace Days ==== | + | ==== HacKids ==== |
| − | * There have not been people on every cleanspace days. What shall we do to keep a clean space? | + | * [[User:Mich|Mich]] will help on the 29th and 30th. |
| − | * Can't we get service from the commune? | + | * [[User:Trollchen|Marc Tholl]] offered his help on all three. |
| − | * There's not enough respect towards others when it comes to the toilets, dishes, and trash (food leftovers) | + | * If anyone else would like to help, just talk to [[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak]] |
| − | * Should there be an enforced enrollment? Toilet cleaning every week? How to enforce this? Will this educate people?
| + | |
| − | * We should '''point people to the cleanspace days more efficiently'''
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== SSL certs ==== | + | ==== General Assembly ==== |
| − | * 5 people on favour of a commercial wildcard cert thus, we'll stay with CACert | + | * No date has been set yet; Reminder that the order of the day needs to be sent two weeks in advance. |
| − | * Do we want to '''have a single commercial cert (i.e. starssl?) on www.hackerspace.lu''' and stick with cacert on the others? (this would require more IPs) (6 votes pro) | + | * March 17th was suggested; That would be on a day where there would have been a Bootstrap anyway. |
| | | | |
| − | ==== ApplicationForm evaluation ==== | + | ==== Mailing lists ==== |
| − | * are the goals being met? | + | * Should we have a list for events only? Or security? |
| − | * you have rules that could be enforced. | + | * Well there is a list for security already. |
| | + | * The issue with that many lists is that you can have as many as you like but if people have no discipline, they will be of no use. |
| | + | * Also some things just need to be addressed to everyone. |
| | | | |
| − | ==== over-bureaucratization ==== | + | == January 21st == |
| − | * too many hurdles, blackboards, application forms, too many rules, not enough trust?
| + | |
| − | * a lock on a locker with personal information of people? Addresses of people on bank statements, etc..
| + | |
| − | * This does not correspond to transparency of bank account.
| + | |
| − | * Is everyone root in the space? On servers?
| + | |
| − | * Steve is convinced that people will not go snoop into lockers looking at people's personal information.
| + | |
| − | * Putting locks on stuff could propagate, instead, there should be no barriers. (people don't use things that have barriers)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== "the office" ====
| + | |
| − | * no office meeting after march 26th (meetings every three months)
| + | |
| − | * what about not having an office list any more and posting everything on discuss? --> Some stuff is sensitive and not everybody should see it.
| + | |
| − | * the office is now more transparent than it was before
| + | |
| − | * everyone can join the office group..
| + | |
| − | * it's hard to ask if you don't know what is going on, if it is kept under wraps
| + | |
| − | * stuff that is not being disclosed is membership applications, including privacy matters
| + | |
| − | * there has to be a hierarchy on the paper
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== shall we allow pets in the space? ====
| + | |
| − | * some people are allergic to cats
| + | |
| − | * no snakes, tarantulas or scorpions, rats...
| + | |
| − | * it's dirty enough, pets will only worsen this
| + | |
| − | * only non-annoying, non-dangerous pets are allowed as long as there are no allergies
| + | |
| − | * no farting! ;)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Hx² ====
| + | |
| − | * Camper to CCCamp in Finowfurt
| + | |
| − | * How to represent syn<sub>2</sub>cat at CCCamp? Do we want a project at Hx²?
| + | |
| − | * Marc presents DIY bartender robot idea. Project might be nice but not enough people are participating.
| + | |
| − | * Leaving on August 7th, i.e. the project needs to be done by then.
| + | |
| − | * Maybe there will be a Lasertagging event in Cologne (in cooperation with betahaus, C4 and dingfabrik)
| + | |
| − | * The theme of hx² is Oasis (there will be a pool)
| + | |
| − | * There is a wiki page about hx²
| + | |
| − | * There will be a sushi workshop as well.
| + | |
| − | * More suggestions for technical workshops would be appreciated (Nothing old, something that has our own touch)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Faccat - space optimisation suggestions ====
| + | |
| − | * separating the chill into two rooms, having a smaller, quieter library, thus allowing to move the books from the lab into this new room, also allowing electronical parts shelves in the lab.
| + | |
| − | * Want to buy Ikea expedit racks (total cost between 400 and 500 €)
| + | |
| − | * Will this not reduce the size of the chill room and disallow people from taking part in meetings? --> creating another room would also enlarge the current sofa-area (by removing the table near the windows)
| + | |
| − | * there is a plan on how this will look but it's not on the wiki yet.
| + | |
| − | ** the plan is here: http://www.dabbleboard.com/draw/Gunstick/syn2cat-chill [[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]]
| + | |
| − | * A light is to be removed, sound isolation to be put on the shelves.
| + | |
| − | * Unanimous agreement to having this.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Yoga ====
| + | |
| − | * Interested in free yoga classes for beginners?
| + | |
| − | ** I can give course in Ashtanga Yoga. [[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] (not certified instructor though)
| + | |
| − | * Where could it take place?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == May 7 ==
| + | |
| − | === Minutes ===
| + | |
| − | There were no topics planned but several people had some points to bring up
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * There are not many people registered to the Strossen Wibbelt event on 15 may (i.e. next sunday). There we will build throwies on our provided booth and do geocaching activities. Spontaneously several more people registered right away so that this activity can be run nicely.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Note that next sunday the access to syn<sub>2</sub>cat headquarters may be difficult because of "Strossen Wibbelt" the road will be closed.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * CCC camp: Marc has organized a camping van. There are 2 sports left. THose were taken by fellow attendees of the meeting. Van is full now.
| + | |
| − | The camp theme will be OASIS. On the way there some other hackerspaces will be visited. Trip goes from 8 - 15 august.
| + | |
| − | ** Pleas bring up ideas for stuff to present at the camp!
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * From a TED talk came the idea to have noise free hours in the lab. The need to have some silence when working in lab is there, but there was no consensus of how to implement this.
| + | |
| − | In general it would be nice to try not to annoy people with useless noise (yelling, music ...)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * What about cyberpunk fridays? Those should be set up spontaneously by anyone who is present at the space. Just watch a movie if you feel like it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * cleanspace day: the last cleaning day was a full clean, moving furniture out to wipe the floor. This should be done every 4 months. In between there can be classical cleanings for vacuuming, cleaning kitchen and toilets.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | And please don't schedule those days on holidays as several people won''t be able to attend.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The lab room got new cabling and there was an idea to have extractable lan cables. The idea was rejected as we would have to buy them whereas we get as many LAN cables as we want for free.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * The ubuntu release party was not well publicized to the press. This should be better handled in the future. Send press kits out before the event. Just twitter and facebook does not work for normal press channels.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * talks and workshops:
| + | |
| − | ** annound them on the mailinglist
| + | |
| − | ** reach out to general public to gather attendees
| + | |
| − | ** don't restrict on technical subjects, but other themes are interesting too like cooking, plants, music.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * remeber that the soldering workshop will be happening in 2 weeks time...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * there is a new money box on the soldering table. This is when you use items from the electronics stock for you own use that you put some money back. Soon there will be prices fixed to the drawers so you know how muck that couple of elkos costs.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * some items are needed
| + | |
| − | ** a classic drill
| + | |
| − | ** an hot air gun
| + | |
| − | ** a hair dryer (hot air is for some actions too hot)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * the harware wishlist should be rearranges and made more easily readable for non members if people want to donate stuff. An idea to categorize is a needed / nice to have separation, as well as a section for more technology oriented items and one for general household items.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * next hackids is on 7th june about solar bots. If you have or know kids interested, register them! The last hackids had no attendees...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | == April 2nd ==
| + | |
| | === Topics === | | === Topics === |
| − | * Faccat and Spila merger evaluation | + | * Lead: TBD [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_be_announced] |
| − | * Donation policy: A member who brings something to the space MUST take the tim.e to find a safe and out of the way place for it.
| + | * Notes: Gunstick |
| − | * Acquire a ultra sonic cutter. This tool could be used for plastic cutting. You can see demo video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcA2qQvGoF8 , product page is here http://www.mmech.com/ultrasonic-cutters/honda-usw-334 (Kris)
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | === Minutes ===
| + | * October's bootstrap tasks and todos follow-ups |
| − | | + | ** Have the circles been attached to the wall? |
| − | There was no Present your Project.
| + | ** Sat-dish? |
| − | | + | ** Faster Internet? |
| − | * Faccat and Spila merger evaluation | + | * report on student fair (if someone is willing to do it) |
| − | | + | * report on science festival [[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] 17:37, 19 January 2012 (CET). |
| − | No meeting has happened until now, so nothing new to report. Both groups should do a meeting together.
| + | * report on the Christmas Market [[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] 17:37, 19 January 2012 (CET). |
| − | | + | * Production of a short movie for the mechanical adder--[[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak109]] 16:08, 16 November 2011 (CET) |
| − | * Donation policy: A member who brings something to the space MUST take the time to find a safe and out of the way place for it. | + | * Status of the SSL-Cert sponsoring letter --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 21:32, 17 October 2011 (CEST) |
| − | | + | * Podcasting: Wiki, wordpress, ara? --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 13:49, 23 October 2011 (CEST) |
| − | Currently most lockers are full. To make place, everyone should only use one case. To make this easier, members should use the wooden lockers. The hardware will be stored in the steel lockers.
| + | * Participation in "science week" of EU school (March 26-30, 2012) --[[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak109]] 16:08, 16 November 2011 (CET) |

| − | First there have to be rules what can be brought to the space. See the various wish lists on [[Infrastructure]] for some ideas.
| + | * Sum up of ADHS space relocation (slopjong talked to them)--[[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak109]] 09:18, 19 January 2012 (CET) |

| + | * Paperjam - SMILE Trophy by syn<sub>2</sub>cat --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 18:46, 21 January 2012 (CET) |
| − | ** have one box labeled "/tmp" or "incoming" where new items land in. SpiLa will sort it in where it belongs. | + | |
| − | ** Unneeded items will be put onto the table in the hallway. Members can collect there items they might use for themselves or a project. Unclaimed objects will get garbage collected.
| + | |
| − | ** Pictures of new stuff arriving and old stuff scheduled for removal should be put on the mailing list for information. This is already done mostly of the time and is a good practice.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Acquire a ultra sonic cutter. | + | |
| − | This is going to cost almost 300€ for an item with not a so great field of application. E.g. would it be possible to cut PCBs with it? After a small vote the were 2 in favor, 4 against and 4 neutral. Some suggestions were to try building such a devide yourself or use a heated piece of metal to cut through plastic. DO NOT use a soldering iron, because this will ruin the tip.

| − | * relighting the lab: the lab, by night, is not looking as cool as the chill room. Some colorful lights are needed. Also dimmable lights would be nice.

| + | ** Have the circles been attached to the wall? |
| − | ***several members work on a grafical charta so we can have a corporate identity. There will be no requirements to members to use a specific email signature
| + | Not yet, but kork circls have been cut and wood is available. Task to NPU |
| − | *** facebook group or page? Decision taken to keep both, but itnation and zap will be dropped.
| + | |
| − | *** who reads space status (open close) via twitter. Seems everyone just consults the main website. So either remove those updates altogether or create a dedicated twitter account so that the syn<sub>2</sub>cat twitte page gets less cluttered and more interesting to follow. Additional idea is to improve the status page to show a short history of the last changes and maybe finally create occupational statistics.
| + | |
| − | *** the new free twitter like service itenti,ca will not be used as the users are mainly geeks and ners who know anyway about hackerspaces
| + | |
| − | *** idea to create a yearly PDF based newsletter
| + | |
| − | *** spreadshirt: trial of the premium membership (60€). Should we only show the recent designs? Decision to have old designs in the shop but only on later pages. Personal designs should go on your own spreadshirt shop.

| − | *** there will be generic business cars without individual names created. People can get personalized ones if they pay for them. Other possibility is to have A4 sheets with the cards pre-printed which can be personalized by anyone, either by printing or simply handwriting the name or alias.

| − | * Opinion gathering about merging faccat and spila
| + | |
| − | ** 2 of 3 members in faccat are favorable to the merging, in spila nobody did oppose the idea.
| + | |
| − | ** one advantage is that the 2 budgets of faccat and 1 from spila can be merges into 2 budgets. Less admin time, more hacker time.

| + | ** Sat-dish? |
| | + | Main problem is not really the authorization from commune to put the dish on the roof but rather laying the cable from inside to the dish. There is no praticable hole to pass the cables so we need to ask to get a pipe put through the wall. Task taken by NPU |
| | | | |
| − | * Green Rack (after meeting presentation) | + | ** Faster Internet? |
| − | ** Gunstick presents his idea of bio-mod the syn<sub>2</sub>cat way. | + | The letter has been written but not sent out. Task taken by sim0n |
| − | ** The main purpose is to have a daylight visible sign to make people aware where the hackerspace is
| + | |
| − | ** Instead of enclosing running comupters and plants in an autonomous system, this idea will be more into the theme of nature taking over technology
| + | |
| − | ** the unused rack in the lab room will be used, including computer hardware. The servers will be plant pots where flowers and other green stuff grows.

| − | ** [[Facilities_%26_Catering|faccat]] presented the new tic board operation. Only people regularly visiting the space should put their marks on the blackboard. This is meant to ease the handling of multiple payments in one day or weekend, not to live on long term credit on syn2cat's costs. The maximum stays at 20€.
| + | ** only play creative commons music |
| − | Buying kitchen and catering stuff is only handled by faccat. If members notice an opportunity, please contact a faccat member first, to avoid double buying. Small quantities you can still buy, at the risk to have to use it for your own needs if the syn<sub>2</sub>cat stock is full. In any case, never take money directly from the cashier! Please give the bill to a faccat member who will pay you.

The questions of using google analytics was raised. Some concerns about privacy of website visitors have been raised, and the Idea is not accepted. If there is any need (new python version, new tools...) please file a ticket in [https://source.hacker.lu/projects/syn2catitadmins redmine]. There are plans to provide email facilities (including spam and virus checking) on the hackerspace.lu and syn2cat.lu domains. | + | |
| − | ** [[Budget,_Legal_Matters_and_Landlord_Relations|hsoffice]] ADHS has been contacted today (as they were present this day) aboput the cleaning issue. They will have a general assembly next week and will tell us if our proposal is ok or they may be could offer us another solution. | + | |
| − | A meeting is planned with the commune to discuss on several outstanding points (convention, letterbox, sattelite etc...)
| + | |
| − | Members contributions will need to be raised due the the assurance cost. This will be voted on the next general assembly. Members are advised to pay the new amount (which is €9.5 or €10) already from 1st of January on.

| − | * sugar is a CRM (customer relationship management) tool which is in use by the office group since the very beginning of syn2cat. So it's not "another new tool". Roughly it's an evolves contact managing phonebook where you can also add exchanged emails and notes. The accounts (companies) have contacts (individuals). The use is to track communication with non-syn2cat people and groups. The advanteg compared to a spreadsheet or similar is that it's structured and won't end up with unorganized information clutter. Sugar is not available to everybody because of privacy issues. Please contact [https://source.hacker.lu/projects/syn2catitadmins sysops] for access.
| |
| − | This tool is not mandatory, you can still use a sheet of paper, wiki page or any other format for managing your contacts. If you find good alternatives, suggestions are welcome.
| |
| − | A rudimetary bridge between sugar and redmine exist. To be studied if it's worth implementing.

| − | * How to improve the working groups? | + | * Participation in "science week" of EU school (March 26-30, 2012) --[[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak109]] 16:08, 16 November 2011 (CET) |
| − | If you want to inform yourself about what is going on in a workgroup, a good idea is to browse through their redmine pages and tickets. Note that sysops and hsoffice are not browseable.
| + | As this is at the same time than CDays, only end of the week 28-30 will be covered. Macfreak proposed several workshops: throwies, scratch, mindstorms, bristlebots... |
| − | The bridge between faccat and spila is not very clear. Maybe people should join both, or even merge both working groups. => a meeting spila-faccat should be planned to clarify this.
| + | |
| − | * How to handle people leaving/joining working groups?
| + | |
| − | The consensus is, that no restrictions or barriers should be imposed on joining a workgroup. But leaving will only be possible at a bootstrap meeting. This is mainly to remove workload from the people needing to work behind the scenes to make all this happening (sysops).
| + | |
| − | Joining is generally not validated by anyone, except for hsoffice and sysops. TO have a trial period before deciding to join, members are free to assist a group meeting or talk with the group members before really joining.
| + | |
| − | Are there member and group number enforcements. There is a rule of at least 1 group and max 3 groups per member and max 6 members per group. This is just a rule of thumb. Depending on workload and people's interest, the real numbers vary.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Administrativa ====
| + | * Press work. Can the hackerspace (i.e. syn2cat) be asked to provide answers to the media on general computer and security questions? Forward those to c3l? Who should handle press requests, especially the urgent ones? --[[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] |
| | + | Not everyone should say somthing but PR group should handel communication. We also don't need to be on all media reports. |
| | + | C3l should handle all requests about security aspects. |
| | + | syn2cat has no opinion and can only give technical explanations. |
| | + | We will create a press response email list with people who would reply to the news about themes they are skilled in. |
| | + | The syn2cat spokesperson should be from the PR circle. |
| | + | If the press visits the space unannounced, please forward them to the PR team. |
| | | | |
| − | * Proposal for using real names and no nicknames on source.hacker.lu | + | * offered material |
| − | As this has been covered on last meeting, not much has changed. Everyone is free to choose the name he wants. If people know each other, this should not be a problem. If there is urgent need to know the identity, you can ask office.
| + | if we get offered stuff please ask someone from facilities circle if we have the need for this and also room to put it. Do not simply bring stuff! |
| − | * Question about the way members get remembered of their membership fees
| + | |
| − | ** When do you get the initial fee? When do you get reminded?
| + | |
| − | The reminder sent out was a manual action.
| + | |
| − | ** Is email the best solution?
| + | |
| − | It will always be email as any other solution (paper, sms ...) involves cost. Some ideas for nagging people not paying came up, and vanished again.
| + | |
| − | * Handling the storage vault. (Wuala/Dropbox/webdav or /dev/null?)
| + | |
| − | The storage contains a multitude of logos and documents which have been used in the past of syn2cat. This should be migrated from svn (the only remaining svn depot we have) into git, so one can access it from redmine.
| + | |
| − | * A database where all the members' interests are listed
| + | |
| − | There was the project to do interviews with the members, which has not made much progress. Members could fill out on their wiki profile their interests. The proposal to use the semantic capabilities of mediawiki is accepted, so that this info becomes searchable.
| + | |
| − | * Optional feature request: limit #users on Lusitania to historical 1198 [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/RMS_Lusitania] nice joke, but the ship had 2198 passengers, oh, oh, fail.
| + | |
| − | * Concerning "children work" (≠ Asian children work) a box on the front page where parents could "register" their children for workshops would be cool. This box should populate a mailing list which we can then use to inform parents when a workshop is held.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Events ====
| + | * Concours GENIAL --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 17:30, 21 January 2012 (CET) |
| − | * Realizing regular workshop for kids & some kind of shop (everything realized with stuff, they've got on sparkfun.com, evilmadscientist.com, etc.) | + | http://genial.lu/ we are partner. The contest is aimed to 5-20 year olds. We will promote the contest with flyers and posters. and do some activities (maybe with hackids). |
| − | On the christmas market, we noticed a big interest in electronic blinking and gaming gadgets. So the idea came to organize workshops. Start small with a couple of children. Then increase the number. The scouts were interested to cooperate.
| + | The press conference to announce the contest will be on 25th january at chambre de commerce. |
| − | * Science Festival. [http://www.science-festival.lu/appel-a-propositions/ CallforProposals] [http://ps.mnhn.lu/ScienceFestival/festival2009/Pictures/Science%20Festival/index.html Photos 2009]
| + | |
| − | The deadline is on 16 january! Before proposing, verify that you are available during the festival. Some ideas already came up: | + | |
| − | ** computer science, unplugged. Have people interact physically to reproduce computer activity (binary counter, networking, calculating ...)
| + | |
| − | ** build micro robos with sensors so they can interact with environment and themselves
| + | |
| − | ** create a device with non newtonian fluid where people can play with
| + | |
| − | ** [your idea here]
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Acquisitions ====
| + | * Syn2wall Calendar --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 18:06, 21 January 2012 (CET) |
| − | * Buy gas-heater? | + | Idea to put a huge calender on our new wall where we can put up the dates of planned events in which we could participate, even before those are scheduled in the wiki. |
| − | For the cold events like christmas market or lasertagging. Postponed to next bootstrap. If you see gas heaters in local shops, note down the price.
| + | |
| − | * Buy fold-able transport boxes?
| + | |
| − | Consensus is to invest in some solid stuff. Jhemp may have a ressource to get industrial grade boxes. Else the maximum budget allowed is 150€
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Projects & Funding ====
| + | * Paperjam - SMILE Trophy by syn<sub>2</sub>cat --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 18:46, 21 January 2012 |
| − | * Fund an OpenLase Installation (~500€) @SteveClement | + | we were asked to design and build a trophy out of metal and PCB boards. This should be finished for october 2012. |
| − | Nice idea. This was not discussed in detail. Some ideas were raised to use alternatives to galvanometers (harddisks, laserdisk pickup, loudspeakers)
| + | |
| − | * Idea: "Present your project"-Sessions
| + | |
| − | Everyone was favorable to hold a sort of lightening talks before the bootstrap meeting. This can be about potential or running projects.
| + | |
| − | * video stream of bootstrap meeting? The idea of the meeting is to be actually together. Else everyone would stay at home. Not approved.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== New members ====
| + | (CET) |
| − | * who is new in the space?
| + | |
| − | Several people have joined, mainly in the media and multimedia area. Welcome!

Issue is still cables that need to go in and out of the building, nobody present was really in the know about that issue.
Also, we don't know who should have asked the commune to drill the hole.
Circles are done, pins are there, all that needs to be done is to paint the wall.
Lala will see if they still have some white paint left.
We also need to apply some paste first for the screws and joints.
The same restrictions as for the circles apply, ie. the wall should be painted first.
Not yet, but kork circls have been cut and wood is available. Task to NPU
Main problem is not really the authorization from commune to put the dish on the roof but rather laying the cable from inside to the dish. There is no praticable hole to pass the cables so we need to ask to get a pipe put through the wall. Task taken by NPU
The letter has been written but not sent out. Task taken by sim0n
Reporter David: The fair had a better success than last time. There was more interest by the visitors despite we not having the popular quadrocopter on display. On the other hand there was a contest to solve some mystery technological questions to win a Club Mate. Also the throwies were a good attract factor. Our thankyou cookies were appreciated by SNJ & BeeSecure.
Improvements for next time: prepare better what items to take and what to do on the booth. There was too much improvisation.
Will be from 26-27 march. Putting the marble adder there has been considered overkill. Maybe better organize a trip for interested people from cdays to the space to show off the machine.
There was the idea to present the marble adder to the press after the lift has been created. Anyone wanting to help with that, please contact Gunstick.
Macfreak wants to create a movie about the marble adder: idea, construction, principal function, interviews. It would be nice if people who contributed would appear in the movie. The movie will be part of a series of podcasts. Extracs from those podcasts will then be turned into a promotional video for syn2cat.
Despite one day canceled because of weather the market was a big success. Everything was sold.
The preparation activity to do the cookie baking was a great socializing event.
We want to have a wildcard cert sponsored. Task taken by trollchen to complete on 4th february.
Ara has a new contract which would make it not legal to have podcasts on our site if they contain copyrighted content. There are several possibilities:
As this is at the same time than CDays, only end of the week 28-30 will be covered. Macfreak proposed several workshops: throwies, scratch, mindstorms, bristlebots...
Not everyone should say somthing but PR group should handel communication. We also don't need to be on all media reports.
C3l should handle all requests about security aspects.
syn2cat has no opinion and can only give technical explanations.
We will create a press response email list with people who would reply to the news about themes they are skilled in.
