| − | ==== syndelights ==== | + | ==== Review ==== |
| − | On the CCC camp contact was made with the crew from blinkenarea (Aachen) and
| + | ===== Sat-Dish ===== |
| − | they offred us to revive the project via using their infrastructure.
| + | Issue is still cables that need to go in and out of the building, nobody present was really in the know about that issue. |
| − | Only cost would be the transport and used lightbulbs.
| + | Also, we don't know who should have asked the commune to drill the hole. |
| − | There are currently about 6 people involved in the project.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | We would need some guys speaking fluently C or C++. | + | ===== Circles ===== |
| | + | Circles are done, pins are there, all that needs to be done is to paint the wall. |
| | + | [[User:Lala|Lala]] will see if they still have some white paint left. |
| | + | We also need to apply some paste first for the screws and joints. |
| | | | |
| − | * If we use Bartek's software, C knowledge is needed. And also people would need to create clients (in any language) which produce data to be displayed (via sending UDP packets).
| + | ===== Internet Connection ===== |
| − | * If we use Blinkenarea software, C++ knowledge is needed. The current animations would need to be adapted to the new building size (ours is smaller).
| + | The locker wasn't checked for the the letter that ought to be sent. [[User:Sim0n|Sim0n]] checked during the meeting. |
| | + | 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. |
| | + | The letter needs to be signed and sent away. |
| | | | |
| − | ==== hacKids ==== | + | ===== SSL-Cert letter ===== |
| − | The dutch radioshow "signal" had Marc as a host where he talked for
| + | Though [[User:Trollchen|Trollchen]] announced to write that letter in two weeks from last Bootstrap, but no letter was written. |
| − | 10 minutes about the hacKids activity. This contact was also a result of
| + | [[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] has thus taken up the task. |
| − | the CCC camp. | + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== steering group ==== | + | ===== Calendar ===== |
| − | There have been 2 meetings so far. The reason is that many people were worried
| + | [[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] brought a wooden pane where the calendar could be glued to. |
| − | about the direction syn2cat is taking and the motivation of people. In fact
| + | We will do that tonight. |
| − | there was no real direction and increasing demotivation.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | The current result is a reorientation of the office and bootstrap roles. | + | The same restrictions as for the circles apply, ie. the wall should be painted first. |
| − | The bootstrap will be an "input device" for office to take decisions. So the
| + | |
| − | bootstrap meeting won't take decisions on behalf of syn2cat. This because
| + | |
| − | there have been many re-discussions and also the voting is not representative.
| + | |
| − | Still the office can ask members to vote on important issues, this will probably
| + | |
| − | be done via an electronic means so that as many members as possible can give | + | |
| − | their voice.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | The office is now equivalent to the classic "comité" of an a.s.b.l like
| + | ==== HacKids ==== |
| − | defined by the law. Any member who is interested in becoming member of the
| + | * [[User:Mich|Mich]] will help on the 29th and 30th. |
| − | office can simply ask to be "co-opted" during the year. At the next general
| + | * [[User:Trollchen|Marc Tholl]] offered his help on all three. |
| − | assembly he can then be confirmed in the election.
| + | * If anyone else would like to help, just talk to [[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak]] |
| | | | |
| − | The number of working groups will also be reduced from 7 groups to 4 "[[Circles of Interest]]".
| + | ==== General Assembly ==== |
| − | * facilities | + | * No date has been set yet; Reminder that the order of the day needs to be sent two weeks in advance. |
| − | * events and PR
| + | * March 17th was suggested; That would be on a day where there would have been a Bootstrap anyway. |
| − | * office
| + | |
| − | * sysops
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | The first two are open to anyone.
| + | ==== Mailing lists ==== |
| − | Those are loosely structured and represent interests.
| + | * Should we have a list for events only? Or security? |
| − | If you like to work and help, you can simply join without any administrative overhead.
| + | * Well there is a list for security already. |
| − | To join office, see above. Joining sysops requires the same scrutiny as before.
| + | * 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. |
| − | There is no more obligation to be in a minimum or maximum number of circles.
| + | |
| − | There will be a '''visual representation of the circles on the new wall''' where
| + | |
| − | people can place their pin in the circle they are in. This allows also other
| + | |
| − | members to quickly see who to contact for questions and help.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Some questions remain to be addressed:
| + | |
| − | * how are office decisions announced?
| + | |
| − | * how many meetings will the office have?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Afterhack party ==== | + | |
| − | it would be great if syn2cat members would be present on wednesday 21 september
| + | |
| − | to meet with fellow hackers from the hack.lu conference.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== facebook ====
| + | |
| − | Some members of other associations (scouts) have a little logo embedded in
| + | |
| − | photos they upload to facebook. Our members are free to do the same and
| + | |
| − | gunstick volunteered to create a logo-tagging service on our website.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== regulating issues with commune de strassen ====
| + | |
| − | * sat dish | + | |
| − | They were asking why it's not yet up. So now we will finally get a written
| + | |
| − | confirmation that this is OK.
| + | |
| − | * fast Internet | + | |
| − | In the same discussion the issue of getting a commune-sponsored faster Internet connection was addressed. Mich set up a letter and got help from several members to do the formulation right.
| + | |
| − | * the commune is also aware that our rooms, depsite being great to have, are becoming too small for our activities
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== christmas market ====
| + | |
| − | The market will be on 16-17 december.
| + | |
| − | NPU made the great proposition to create geeky cookies representing space
| + | |
| − | invaders or pieces from tetris. He offred to use his kitchen for this
| + | |
| − | activity.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== 28c3 ====
| + | |
| − | People who would like to participate, please contact Marc (trollchen) for
| + | |
| − | arranging participatin in the panned renting of a location.
| + | |
| − | There is also the idea to stay in Berlin for new year's eve.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== chill-chill ====
| + | |
| − | The new wall has been presented, and also the new bar decoration. Again thanks
| + | |
| − | to everyone who helped, this was '''awesome.''' The time-lapse video of the buildup was premiered. | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== science festival ====
| + | |
| − | The messy tables got a bit of a cleanup and several instructions sheets now
| + | |
| − | explain what to do. There are even tasks not requiring soldering.
| + | |

| − | *** After last year's success, we will again do the afterhack party at the space
| + | |
| − | ** [[Science_Festival_2011]] 10-13 november. We will create a mechanical 4 bit adder out of copper. The look will have a steampunk aspect.
| + | |
| − | *** help build: It's easy. There are multiple similar items to create. Simple ones and complete structures. No real skills needed. A good occasion to learn to manipulate metal, solder and soldering iron. Please register on the wiki page. No "maybe there" registrations, we need firm commitments. This project has official funding, so it has to be done, else the money is a loss for syn2cat.
| + | |
| − | *** first 2 days of the festival: do workshops with the kids where we build logic gates out of LEGO and then explain the adder. Also a couple of people is needed to support and help the presenter. | + | |
| − | *** final 2 days of the festival: these are the open to public days. People need to man our stand to protect our items from too curious kids and explain what's going on. Probably no LEGO building that day.
| + | |
| − | *** please register on the wiki page and also fill out the table on which days you want to participate.
| + | |
| − | ** [[25ième_Foire_de_l'Etudiant]] 10-11 november. You will notice that his is the same days as the science festival! Like last year we will be present at the booth of beeSecure. A great occasion to present syn2cat and gather new members.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * mailing lists public or private? The discuss list has been set to private which disables the search engines to give hits on the archive and so promote syn2cat. Idea is to use the announce list for interesting discussions or use a dedicated anounce list for this, which will be indexable by search engines.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * starting 12th september the items stored in the hallway will get cleaned up. Everything which is not labeled will got to the recycling. Please label the items you want to keep and think where to store them. please contact faccat for arranging storage space.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * motivation: why don't people participate? What can be done to improve attendance?
| + | |
| − | ** priorities are important for our members. For many syn2cat is not necessarly the first priority (kids, family, job, birthdays, holidays, sports ...)
| + | |
| − | ** who accepts that syn2cat participates in events?
| + | |
| − | *** some events just have to be! Official representations. Occasions not to miss.
| + | |
| − | *** some events are recurring and from last time we know that they are an advantage to us to participate.
| + | |
| − | ** how can I help? Just jump forward, no fear!
| + | |
| − | ** the personal interest in a public project (mainly events) may be low. If you put this forward as a reason not to participate at the event, this may put off other people and so generates a climate of un-motivation. Our club has not yet reached critical mass of members that could allow for jumping off an event just out of disinterest. The result would be that the office will have to do the work as the event usually can't be canceled.
| + | |
| − | ** participate anyway if the event is representing the club. Show the commune that we do stuff. Show the public (potential new members) what we do. Create relations with other clubs in the region. | + | |
| − | ** organizational problems of some members, mainly transport issues, can hinder participation. Maybe have locations of our members so that carpools can be organized?
| + | |
| − | ** besides events, there is also activities at the space itself like workshops, presentations or infrastructure. There you see the classical 2 categories. Some people talk but don't act, other people just do it. Of course the second way is the one we like the most.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Misc: for events have dedicated boxed with all event stuff. The aim would be not to have to remove a lot of equipment from the space and set it up back again after the event. This of course means that items will be duplicated, once for the space and once to sit in a box for events.

| − | * Gunstick explains why: There have been talks with Codic: there would have only been one month for build up, and it would only have been running for two weeks. Neither any more funding by the city of Luxembourg. All in all a bit disappointing.
| + | |
| − | * A request had also been sent to the ministry of culture, but we didn't hear anything from them.

| + | |
| − | * General Assembly pages should not be freely editable. Mistakes or wrong information that is not immediately seen would be fatal.
| + | |
| − | * '''Todo''': Look into an option to display information about the Radioshow or other events on the Frontpage. (what about an embedded Meebo chat or shoutbox?)
| + | |
| − | * How to display information about an event that is easily accessible?
| + | |
| − | ** Add a variable field to the event template, i.e. "extraInformation" to be displayed on the frontpage if used.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Subscribing to working group mailing lists as non-member? ====
| + | ** Sat-dish? |
| − | * Read-only for people that aren't members to a working group but want to read in on the communications will be moderated (can read, can't post).
| + | 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 |
| − | * Don't encrypt mails on a mailing lists. (What about security issues?)
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Facebook admin status ====
| + | ** Faster Internet? |
| − | * Why can't everybody be admin? | + | The letter has been written but not sent out. Task taken by sim0n |
| − | ** Everyone can mail wg-pubrel to have them create an event. (i.e. Steve's BSD talk worked well, was announced everywhere after he sent us an email.)
| + | |
| − | ** Centralized public relations, we have trouble coordinating pubrel relations as it is. ''Too many cooks spoil the broth.''
| + | |
| − | * Use social monitoring tool?
| + | |
| − | * Social media policy?!
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Wiki Skin ====
| + | * report on student fair (if someone is willing to do it) |
| − | * vector skin won with 8 votes to 6 | + | 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. |
| − | ** Additional improvements will be made to the syndivector skin
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Cleanspace ====
| + | Improvements for next time: prepare better what items to take and what to do on the booth. There was too much improvisation. |
| − | * Should we decide on dates of Cleanspace on Bootstraps because otherwise people might forget or not be available? (YES)
| + | |
| − | *** Which date? Stay with '''August 14th''' as scheduled.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Youth in Action grants ====
| + | ** We have event boxes with basic material to make a booth run. |
| − | * Consider grants from the '''youth in action''' program for our future projects and activities. | + | ** We need a comity with people dedicated to certain tasks including replacement if someone becomes unavailable. |
| − | ** Forms, reports, and information available online. (www.snj.lu) | + | ** a schedule when which activity will run on the booth is useful |
| − | ** A first concrete project would be haxogreen 2012 | + | ** equipping the booth with a printer |
| | + | ** putting soldering kits and other items in the event boxes could lead to our booth being always the same. Just put a reminder sheet to take kits, makerbot or others but not always take the same stuff. |
| | + | ** our booth needs a "leitmotiv" |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Up4Grabs ====
| + | * Cdays 2012 |
| − | * A todo/project list with projects that we like to see but can't do ourselves right now. | + | 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. |
| − | * Others can take up the projects or tasks
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Out of schedule, recurring events ====
| |
| − | * A brainstorming session will take place after the BM to discuss conceptual and technical solutions.
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==== WG reports ====
| + | |
| − | * Pubrel group: foursquare challenge, free mate on 3 check-ins | + | |

| + | * Production of a short movie for the mechanical adder--[[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak109]] 16:08, 16 November 2011 (CET) |
| − | ;11 people present --> majority thus 6
| + | |
| − | * 12h topic rule: 6 for kill | + | |
| − | * noise-free: has it been introduced or not? please don't exceed noise levels, even when using headphones
| + | |
| − | ** just tell people if they go on your nerves
| + | |
| − | * 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 ====
| + | 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. |
| − | * '''Public Relations:''' dropped facebook group, now only using the page, dropped zap account, had talks with agendas for automatical event propagation)
| + | |
| − | * '''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.
| + | |
| − | : Did we ever talk to '''DrinX (Munhowen)'''? Faccat will try to see whether they'll take it into their offer. | + | |
| − | * '''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 ====
| + | * report on the Christmas Market [[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] 17:37, 19 January 2012 (CET). |
| − | * Working groups make sense as long as they're staffed, distributing tasks among multiple groups makes sense to some. | + | Despite one day canceled because of weather the market was a big success. Everything was sold. |
| − | * Pubrel vs. Evdev.. '''There should be more communication between those two groups.'''
| + | The preparation activity to do the cookie baking was a great socializing event. |
| − | : Improving communication would be preferred over merging these two groups.
| + | |
| − | * Merging Faccat & Spila?
| + | |
| − | : A meeting between those two groups in the next couple of days should clarify things
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== pubrel ====
| |
| − | * '''make sure everyone from the pubrel group has access to the announce mailing list.'''
| |
| − | * publish more in the press? what?
| |
| − | * 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 =====
| |
| − | * Do another session of the soldering workshop and distribute flyers in Strassen
| |
| − | * Have diverse talks and workshops by...?!
| |
| − | * 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) ====
| |
| − | * 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 ====
| |
| − | * There have not been people on every cleanspace days. What shall we do to keep a clean space?
| |
| − | * Can't we get service from the commune?
| |
| − | * There's not enough respect towards others when it comes to the toilets, dishes, and trash (food leftovers)
| |
| − | * 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 ====
| |
| − | * 5 people on favour of a commercial wildcard cert thus, we'll stay with CACert
| |
| − | * 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)
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== ApplicationForm evaluation ====
| |
| − | * are the goals being met?
| |
| − | * you have rules that could be enforced.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== over-bureaucratization ====
| |
| − | * 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 ===
| |
| − | * Faccat and Spila merger evaluation
| |
| − | * 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.
| |
| − | * 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)

| |
| − |
| |
| − | There was no Present your Project.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Faccat and Spila merger evaluation
| |
| − |
| |
| − | No meeting has happened until now, so nothing new to report. Both groups should do a meeting together.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * 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.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 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.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | First there have to be rules what can be brought to the space. See the various wish lists on [[Infrastructure]] for some ideas.
| |
| − | Also that page and the [[Wishlist]] should be reworked so that we have a single page to refer people to when the donation question arises.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In final people are ok that [[Space_Infrastructure,_Library_%26_Acquisitions|Spila]] should organize this. Some ideas were brought up how to handle this:
| |
| − | ** 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.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Facilities_%26_Catering
| |
| − | * club mate order is delayed because of production problems. Should arrive monday. New kind of juice as trial: Fritz Limo.
| |
| − | * self building road signs instead of buying expensive professional ones
| |
| − | * We checked the roof. There is a possibility to put the sat dish and also a way to hang a banner from the roof. That banner should have in big friendly letters "hackerspace" to make the building look less like a school.
| |
| − | * 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.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Space_Infrastructure,_Library_%26_Acquisitions
| |
| − | * new books were added
| |
| − | * lockers rearrangement planned (see above)

| |
| − | * Working Group progress reports and group switching (if any)
| |
| − | ** Pubrel
| |
| − | ***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
| |
| − | *** 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.
| |
| − | *** Keep the [http://grl.lu GRL] brand? Yes. It's a label for street art. Put link to linux software on the site.
| |
| − | *** Blog: it's possible to write your own posts. But please finish your posts ASAP. There are many unfinished ones on the site.
| |
| − | ** Evdev
| |
| − | *** no meeting yet
| |
| − | *** please remember the [https://www.hackerspace.lu/wiki/Ubuntu_11.04_Release_Party ubuntu release party]
| |
| − | *** what is the group about: not really to create events but more supporting you in creating your events

| − | *** internal office meeting is scheduled for this month
| |
| − | ** faccat
| |
| − | *** from now on please put small bags into the trashcans in the lab room, else they become very dirty
| |
| − | *** one cupboard will be fitted with wheels so the stock will be easier to access
| |
| − | *** mate order will be made next monday. Personal crates (25€+5€ deposit) can be made until sunday night
| |
| − | *** anyone having trays to make ice cubes, please bring them, so we have ice for Kenn's coctail workshop
| |
| − | ** infrastructure
| |
| − | *** some new books have arrived. This could be tweeted. Using the rss feed from librarything is the easiest way.
| |
| − | * 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.
| |
| − | ** it's possible to tranfer faccat tickets in redmine into spila
| |
| − | ** trial period until next bootstrap or the one after
| |
| − | * Introducing the FreeSpace project
| |
| − | ** something like [http://www.diebaeckerei.at/ Die Bäckerei] in austria
| |
| − | ** 500m2
| |
| − | ** not commercial, so nothing like carree rotondes. It will be an autonomous structure
| |
| − | ** shall syn<sub>2</sub>cat be part of it? there are 3 possibilities
| |
| − | *** not participate
| |
| − | *** use some working rooms for our use
| |
| − | *** move completely there into our own dedicated rooms
| |
| − | ** is syn<sub>2</sub>cat behind this, supporting the idea? Yes
| |
| − | ** everyone should have a look at Die Bäckerei to have an idea what it's about
| |
| − | * Hack in the Box Amsterdam Attendance
| |
| − | ** this is a business conference with a high entry fee which is held from 17 until 20 May
| |
| − | ** participating in the hacker challenge can get 2 syn<sub>2</sub>cat members free access
| |
| − | ** who of our members is interested? Ask on mailinglist for people

| − | * Upcoming workshops ([[The_famous_Etching_and_Soldering_Workshop|Soldering]] and [[Cocktail workshop|Cocktail]])

| |
| − | ** a big calculator using the same logic gate principles will be built by syn<sub>2</sub>cat to be put up at the festival
| |
| − | ** there will be around 6 people needed to build the [http://www.hackerspace.lu/blog/main/2011/02/14/after-the-black-adder-the-half-adder/ half adders] via a small mass production chain

| − |
| |
| − | Meeting finished at 20:45
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Green Rack (after meeting presentation)
| |
| − | ** Gunstick presents his idea of bio-mod the syn<sub>2</sub>cat way.
| |
| − | ** 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.
| |
| − | ** must take contact with donators of the various hardware in that rack if they are OK to trash that (and transform into plant pots)
| |
| − | ** anyone interested in doing this?

| − | * Book aquisitions: How to do it? Does this need OK via bootstrap? | + | We want to have a wildcard cert sponsored. Task taken by trollchen to complete on 4th february. |
| − | => Best is to add to the [[Book_Wish-list|wishlist]] including an abstract. Inform [[Space_Infrastructure,_Library_%26_Acquisitions|Library & Acquisitions]] of your request.
| + | |
| − | * Haxolight, if people know of some potential places, what are the requirements? [did we have an answer on this?]
| + | |
| − | * Member fees timing and insurance: if members quit, and don't pay the whole year, the budget previsions would be off. Last meeting stated: members pay for a full year, even if this is done via monthly payments.
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | ==== Working Groups ====
| + | * Podcasting: Wiki, wordpress, ara? --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 13:49, 23 October 2011 (CEST) |
| − | * status updates
| + | 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: |
| − | ** [[Future_Events_%26_Developments|evdev]] have had an internal meeting which covered potential events and ideas for 2011. Also an after event questionnaire is planned to get people's opinions. Their next meeting is 22 jan.
| + | ** cut out the content |
| − | ** [[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.
| + | ** play less music |
| − | The wishlist on the fridge is not only for needed beverages and food, but also for any kitchen or equipment item you think is missing.
| + | Consensus was to use CC content and reduce amount of music played. |
| − | ** [[Space_Infrastructure,_Library_%26_Acquisitions|spila]] if members have interesting items, don't bring them right away to the space. There is not so much room and a lot of stuff ended up at the recycling centre. Please ask spila first if there's need.
| + | |
| − | ** [[Press_%26_Public_Relations|pubrel]] has been asked to rearrange the top banner on the blog to point to the wiki pages and put the blog links to bottom or side. There will be new stickers. Pubrel also has a new member, which is also a new syn<sub>2</sub>cat member. If anyone is knowledgeable in XML and iTunes, there is a script needed to transform our radioshow into a podcast for the i-devices. | + | |
| − | ** [[Web_%26_Server_Management|sysops]] have been asked to access the webserver statistics for optimizing the blog contents. There should be no problem to access the awstats. 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 ====

| − | 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€

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.
The syn2cat spokesperson should be from the PR circle.
If the press visits the space unannounced, please forward them to the PR team.
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!
