Minutes

Syn2Sign

Where signs? ADHS ok, probably no problem. On the building? Current state is difficult to see.
Number 11 on facade: how to fix? => Use the round windows for displaying 11.
The top border of the building is probably metal. Magnetically fix a sign there. Design will be handled in the Syn2Sign project.
Idea to put little life-gliders everywhere. not really.
Maps in the bus-stops could be updated with the hackerspace location => ask commune/AVL/JCD.
Recreate sign every year cheaply instead of an expensive one. Banners (callico).
Illuminated sign has to be done. Buying will be too expensive.
Has the ADHS sign been created by commune? Ask Grun signalisation for their prices.
Syn2Sign project split in several sections for every sign (street, building...)
Use the blends to spell syn2cat by using reflective tape?!

security@lists.hackerspace.lu

Move list to the c3l environment, as syn2cat is probably not the best place hosting it. People are invited to get pgp keys signed (by david&georges) because the list will only be allowed to signed pgp keys.

New wifi key

Has to be changed as it's used for changing alarm. Not too complex.

• Short-term: Passphrase by using first letters?
• Long-term: 802.1x radius server?
• See Network for details.

Ask sim0n or Kwisatz for new wifi key!

ChillyChill

• investment on building the bar (also future blinkenlights extension)

where to get diffuse plexi-glas?

• organizing transport for more new furniture and kick out the old fridge

new furniture is available, can get asap.

• discuss room arrangement

seems to be ok

• wall paint? which color? where?

currently some neon tubes are there. to be put as indirect lighting.

kitchen: move whiteboard to other room and paint wall with magnet paint.

Syn2Sat

Are we allowed to put dish on roof? Will start after chillychill is finished.
Meeting with Strassen will be end of april.
Join us if you are interested in sat stuff!

new syndi.hackerspace.lu Web/Mailserver

Current hoster sponsors the hosting cost by having their ad. So investment will be one-time.
Also rent VMs to other clubs?
Server issue is to be further discussed on sysops mailings list.
If anyone is interested in one of the VMs, please come forward.

Selling drinks

There is no club where the buvette is done by another organization than the one doing the infrastructure. This looks like problems.
The council will have another round of debates on this.

Layouts for the member cards

will have a mag stripe for experimentation
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

The new rack will get the equipment from the little mobile rack. So the old one goes where. Just on the trash?
And the new? In the hall (need rack keys) after asking the commune.

misc

• plastic for maker bot has arrived.
• the two sgi machines for the museum arrived.

March 6th, 2010

Topics

• Membership cards
• Chemical lab
• Wall colors (Blackboard and magnetic paint have already been bought!)
• MakerBot

Minutes

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).

Chemical lab

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

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.

• Layout: Anne
• Producing: Gunstick
