Minutes

Stroossefestival

• 22nd of September
• Activity-sheet not yet delivered.
• cf. mail about Stroossefestival.
• We had some brainstorming on the mailing list.. some ideas came up
• What we sell is our money (WWSIOM)
• But we have to put up everything ourselves... tent, food, etc...
  • Drinks are easy..
  • As food it was suggested to sell popcorn... (has to be decided until Monday!)
    • We should try to avoid long queues.
    • Popcorn could be done in advance.

1. with a popcorn machine?
2. in a huge pot with oil (which is more dangerous)
3. with our own home-made popcorn machine

• Another suggestion would be pancakes
• Salad could also be made
• Gromperekichelcher (needs frying machine or a heating plate and pots..)
• Which brings us to the question (related to GRL activities): Should we buy a smaller tent (3x6m) i.e. [5], [6]

Various GRL activities

• Got asked for 3 different GRL-Luxembourg activities
  • One in Lorentzweiler
  • Two in Trier, DE (June 30th and July 14th)
• Everyone invited to come and watch and help. (mail grl_AT_hackerspace_DOT_lu if you want to help).
• Came up with several ideas about using smartphones for GRL activities (to be further discussed)

Do-ocracy

• Decisions are taken by those who do things.
• If you want something to get done, you just do it and if you're suggesting and idea, you're automatically volunteering to do it.
• Can we formalize that as the way how stuff is done in the hackerspace.
• There are suggestions made "We should do this and that."
• We mostly run like that already, cf. the syn2wall, the computer-museum shelve.
• How can we people from doing crap?
  • There should always be the possibility to veto things.
  • The "be excellent to each other" part is very important.
  • Let people know about what you've done. Tell people, communicate your changes!
  • If something changed that you like, please say so.

Shapeoko

• Kris presents the shapeoko
  • Small CNC router based on MakerSlide
  • It's a mechanical kit for assembly
  • Works with aluminium profiles
  • Arduino-based, uses NEMA17 sized stepper motors
  • Can be extended, i.e. it scales, but the longer the slides, the less precise it will be
  • You can do a pick-and-place machine with the kit.
  • It's Dremel-compatible
  • There IS interest
  • Nobody should have to pay more than 100 EUR
  • All in all, about 425-525 EUR (probably the higher number)
• Do-ocracy style: Kris already ordered it the kit.
• We should combine private financing and a part paid by syn₂cat.
  • A call for contributions will be made.
  • Contributions to be paid to the syn₂cat account with a special mention.
• videos were shown

Misc

• Have a live-tweet wall on hackerspace.lu for people to show what they did at syn2cat.
