=== Minutes ===
 +
==== Review ====
 +
===== Sat-Dish =====
 +
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.
  
==== [[ChemLab]] ====
+
===== Circles =====
* Find a table, with or without tiles?
+
Circles are done, pins are there, all that needs to be done is to paint the wall.
** Use the table in Workroom corner?
+
[[User:Lala|Lala]] will see if they still have some white paint left.
** Tiles would have the benefit of a wall preventing spills.
+
We also need to apply some paste first for the screws and joints.
*** '''Inquire what tiles would cost.'''
+
* Extractor hood. With tubing?
+
** '''Find an Extractor hood or build one.'''
+
* Use for soldering also?
+
* Where to put it? Do we have enough space?
+
* Where to store the acids?
+
** Buy Mercury 65 furniture safe from Hornbach?
+
* Inquire with the commune if we can get the ADHS space once they leave for the new school?
+
  
 +
===== Internet Connection =====
 +
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.
  
==== BBQ Grill ====
+
===== SSL-Cert letter =====
 +
Though [[User:Trollchen|Trollchen]] announced to write that letter in two weeks from last Bootstrap, but no letter was written.
 +
[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] has thus taken up the task.
  
* A grill will be supplied by [[User:the_metalgamer|the metalgamer's]] neighbour.
+
===== Calendar =====
* Lava stones might be supplied by [[User:Mexx|Mexx]].
+
[[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] brought a wooden pane where the calendar could be glued to.
 +
We will do that tonight.
  
==== Questions for commune ====
+
The same restrictions as for the circles apply, ie. the wall should be painted first.
Items were handled during the debate on the [[ChemLab]].
+
  
== April 3rd, 2010 ==
+
==== HacKids ====
===Topics===
+
* [[User:Mich|Mich]] will help on the 29th and 30th.
* [[Syn2Sign]]
+
* [[User:Trollchen|Marc Tholl]] offered his help on all three.
* Discuss further handling of security@lists.hackerspace.lu and the mallory project.
+
* If anyone else would like to help, just talk to [[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak]]
* New wifi key
+
* [[ChillyChill]]
+
** investment on building the bar (also future blinkenlights extension)
+
** organizing transport for more new furniture and kick out the old fridge
+
** discuss room arrangement
+
** wall paint? which color? where?
+
* [[Syn2Sat]] are we allowed to put dish on roof?
+
* new [[syndi.hackerspace.lu]] Web/Mailserver (share with C3L? [cf. sysops ml])
+
* Selling drinks...
+
* layouts for the member cards
+
* Treasury
+
* Old Rack
+
  
===Minutes===
+
==== General Assembly ====
====[[Syn2Sign]]====
+
* No date has been set yet; Reminder that the order of the day needs to be sent two weeks in advance.
 +
* March 17th was suggested; That would be on a day where there would have been a Bootstrap anyway.
  
Where signs? ADHS ok, probably no problem. On the building? Current state is difficult to see.<br/>
+
==== Mailing lists ====
Number 11 on facade: how to fix? => Use the round windows for displaying 11.<br/>
+
* Should we have a list for events only? Or security?
The top border of the building is probably metal. Magnetically fix a sign there. Design will be handled in the Syn2Sign project.<br/>
+
* Well there is a list for security already.  
Idea to put little life-gliders everywhere. not really.<br/>
+
* 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.
Maps in the bus-stops could be updated with the hackerspace location => '''ask commune/AVL/JCD.'''<br/>
+
* Also some things just need to be addressed to everyone.
Recreate sign every year cheaply instead of an expensive one. Banners (callico).<br/>
+
Illuminated sign has to be done. Buying will be too expensive.<br/>
+
Has the ADHS sign been created by commune? Ask ''Grun signalisation'' for their prices.<br/>
+
Syn2Sign project split in several sections for every sign (street, building...)<br/>
+
Use the blends to spell syn2cat by using reflective tape?!<br/>
+
  
==== security@lists.hackerspace.lu ====
+
== January 21st ==
Move list to the c3l environment, as syn2cat is probably not the best place hosting it.
+
=== Topics ===
People are invited to get pgp keys signed (by david&georges) because the list will only be allowed to signed pgp keys.
+
* Lead: TBD [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_be_announced]
 +
* Notes: Gunstick
  
==== New wifi key ====
+
* October's bootstrap tasks and todos follow-ups
Has to be changed as it's used for changing alarm.
+
** Have the circles been attached to the wall?
Not too complex.
+
** Sat-dish?
* Short-term: Passphrase by using first letters?
+
** Faster Internet?
* Long-term: [http://wiki.freeradius.org/WPA_HOWTO 802.1x radius server]?
+
* report on student fair (if someone is willing to do it)
* See [[Network#Wireless|Network]] for details.
+
* report on science festival [[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] 17:37, 19 January 2012 (CET).
'''Ask [[User:Sim0n|sim0n]] or [[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] for new wifi key!'''
+
* report on the Christmas Market [[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] 17:37, 19 January 2012 (CET).

* 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]]

==== [[ChillyChill]] ====
+
=== Minutes ===
 +
Start: 19:14
 +
End: 21:30
  
* investment on building the bar (also future blinkenlights extension)
+
* October's bootstrap tasks and todos follow-ups
:where to get diffuse plexi-glas?
+
** Have the circles been attached to the wall?
 +
Not yet, but kork circls have been cut and wood is available. Task to NPU
  
* organizing transport for more new furniture and kick out the old fridge
+
** Sat-dish?
:new furniture is available, can get asap.
+
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
  
* discuss room arrangement
+
** Faster Internet?
:seems to be ok
+
The letter has been written but not sent out. Task taken by sim0n
  
* wall paint? which color? where?
+
* report on student fair (if someone is willing to do it)
:currently some neon tubes are there. to be put as indirect lighting.
+
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.
:kitchen: move whiteboard to other room and paint wall with magnet paint.
+
  
==== [[Syn2Sat]] ====
+
Improvements for next time: prepare better what items to take and what to do on the booth. There was too much improvisation.
Are we allowed to put dish on roof? Will start after chillychill is finished.<br/>
+
Meeting with Strassen will be end of april.<br/>
+
'''Join us if you are interested in sat stuff!'''
+
  
==== new [[syndi.hackerspace.lu]] Web/Mailserver ====
+
** We have event boxes with basic material to make a booth run.  
Current hoster sponsors the hosting cost by having their ad. So investment will be one-time.<br/>
+
** We need a comity with people dedicated to certain tasks including replacement if someone becomes unavailable.
Also rent VMs to other clubs?<br/>
+
** a schedule when which activity will run on the booth is useful
Server issue is to be further discussed on sysops mailings list.<br/>
+
** equipping the booth with a printer
'''If anyone is interested in one of the VMs, please come forward.'''
+
** 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"
  
==== Selling drinks ====
+
* Cdays 2012
There is no club where the buvette is done by another organization than the one doing the infrastructure. This looks like problems.<br/>
+
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.
The council will have another round of debates on this.
+
  
==== Layouts for the member cards ====
 
will have a mag stripe for experimentation<br/>
 
the nickname (login in the wiki) will be on it as a barcode and of course the new logo, maybe the PGP fingerprint (40 chars).
 
  
==== Treasury ====
+
We don't have any treasurer. steve is overbooked.
+
We need one. Georges Toth proposes himself.
+
  
==== Old Rack ====
+
* report on science festival [[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] 17:37, 19 January 2012 (CET).
The new rack will get the equipment from the little mobile rack. So the old one goes where. Just on the trash? <br/>
+
Please see the [http://www.hackerspace.lu/2012/01/21/marble-adder/ blog post]
And the new? In the hall (need rack keys) after asking the commune.
+
  
==== misc ====
+
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.
* plastic for maker bot has arrived.
+
* the two sgi machines for the museum arrived.
+
  
== March 6th, 2010 ==
+
* Production of a short movie for the mechanical adder--[[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak109]] 16:08, 16 November 2011 (CET)
=== Topics ===
+
 
* Membership cards
+
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.
* Chemical lab
+
 
* Wall colors (Blackboard and magnetic paint have already been bought!)
+
* report on the Christmas Market [[User:Gunstick|Gunstick]] 17:37, 19 January 2012 (CET).
* MakerBot
+
Despite one day canceled because of weather the market was a big success. Everything was sold.
=== Minutes ===
+
The preparation activity to do the cookie baking was a great socializing event.
====RepRap or Makerbot?====
+
 
Reprap is complicated to build as it needs quite some special tools we don't have (yet). Makerbot is more expensive but can be assembled more easily. And once we have a makerbot we can still use that to create a Reprap out of thin air (well, or... almost).
+
 
 +
* Status of the SSL-Cert sponsoring letter --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 21:32, 17 October 2011 (CEST)
 +
We want to have a wildcard cert sponsored. Task taken by trollchen to complete on 4th february.
 +
 
 +
* Podcasting: Wiki, wordpress, ara? --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 13:49, 23 October 2011 (CEST)
 +
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:
 +
** cut out the content
 +
** only play creative commons music
 +
** play less music
 +
Consensus was to use CC content and reduce amount of music played.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
* Participation in "science week" of EU school (March 26-30, 2012) --[[User:Macfreak109|Macfreak109]] 16:08, 16 November 2011 (CET)
 +
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...
 +
 
 +
* 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.
 +
 
 +
* offered material
 +
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!
 +
 
 +
* Concours GENIAL --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 17:30, 21 January 2012 (CET)
 +
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).
 +
The press conference to announce the contest will be on 25th january at chambre de commerce.
 +
 
 +
* Syn2wall Calendar --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 18:06, 21 January 2012 (CET)
 +
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.
 +
 
 +
* Paperjam - SMILE Trophy by syn<sub>2</sub>cat --[[User:Kwisatz|Kwisatz]] 18:46, 21 January 2012
 +
we were asked to design and build a trophy out of metal and PCB boards. This should be finished for october 2012.
  
====[[ChemLab|Chemical lab]]====
+
(CET)
Need a table which is not sensitive to chemicals. Some glass panes to contain eventual fumes (from etching, soldering and anything else making smelly smoke) and an extractor to remove the fumes.
+
  
====Membership cards====
+
== Archives ==
What layout? The new logo of course, with the name, a barcode which may be used for the library and a magstripe for people to play with. The layout should have syn2cat and user's name on both sides so the card can be used as badge on lanyard.

[edit] Review

[edit] Sat-Dish

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.

[edit] Circles

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.

[edit] Internet Connection

The locker wasn't checked for the the letter that ought to be sent. Sim0n checked during the meeting. A copy of the letter has gone over the office mailing list. Mich will check whether he will find the letter on his disk. The letter needs to be signed and sent away.

[edit] SSL-Cert letter

Though Trollchen announced to write that letter in two weeks from last Bootstrap, but no letter was written. Kwisatz has thus taken up the task.

[edit] Calendar

Gunstick brought a wooden pane where the calendar could be glued to. We will do that tonight.

The same restrictions as for the circles apply, ie. the wall should be painted first.

[edit] HacKids

  • Mich will help on the 29th and 30th.
  • Marc Tholl offered his help on all three.
  • If anyone else would like to help, just talk to Macfreak

[edit] General Assembly

  • No date has been set yet; Reminder that the order of the day needs to be sent two weeks in advance.
  • March 17th was suggested; That would be on a day where there would have been a Bootstrap anyway.

[edit] Mailing lists

  • Should we have a list for events only? Or security?
  • 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.

[edit] Minutes

Start: 19:14 End: 21:30

  • October's bootstrap tasks and todos follow-ups
    • Have the circles been attached to the wall?

Not yet, but kork circls have been cut and wood is available. Task to NPU

    • 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

    • Faster Internet?

The letter has been written but not sent out. Task taken by sim0n

  • report on student fair (if someone is willing to do it)

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.

    • We have event boxes with basic material to make a booth run.
    • We need a comity with people dedicated to certain tasks including replacement if someone becomes unavailable.
    • a schedule when which activity will run on the booth is useful
    • 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"
  • Cdays 2012

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.



  • report on science festival Gunstick 17:37, 19 January 2012 (CET).

Please see the blog post

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.

  • Production of a short movie for the mechanical adder--Macfreak109 16:08, 16 November 2011 (CET)

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.

  • report on the Christmas Market Gunstick 17:37, 19 January 2012 (CET).

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.


  • Status of the SSL-Cert sponsoring letter --Kwisatz 21:32, 17 October 2011 (CEST)

We want to have a wildcard cert sponsored. Task taken by trollchen to complete on 4th february.

  • Podcasting: Wiki, wordpress, ara? --Kwisatz 13:49, 23 October 2011 (CEST)

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:

    • cut out the content
    • only play creative commons music
    • play less music

Consensus was to use CC content and reduce amount of music played.


  • Participation in "science week" of EU school (March 26-30, 2012) --Macfreak109 16:08, 16 November 2011 (CET)

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...

  • 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? --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.

  • offered material

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!

  • Concours GENIAL --Kwisatz 17:30, 21 January 2012 (CET)

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). The press conference to announce the contest will be on 25th january at chambre de commerce.

  • Syn2wall Calendar --Kwisatz 18:06, 21 January 2012 (CET)

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.

  • Paperjam - SMILE Trophy by syn2cat --Kwisatz 18:46, 21 January 2012

we were asked to design and build a trophy out of metal and PCB boards. This should be finished for october 2012.
