Old

  • Attendees: Charles, Devin, Ioan, Jonathan, Julien, Lippe

NYC Mesh installs

  • Talk to Myf about doing Mesh installs

Internet

  • Thoughts about switching completely over to NYC Mesh eventually

Bench stabilization

  • Lippe stabilized one of the benches some of the 3D printers sit on and it works great
  • Lippe brought Cuben Fiber (breaking point of 900 lbs., 20¢ a foot)

Monies

  • Jonathan suggests a slush fund of $20 for miscellaneous space improvements
  • We have a donation jar
  • Lippe says we should 1.) have a purpose for any money and 2.) agreed upon uses for the money
  • Jonathan thinks we should have a wishlist for things people would like to have for the space. Anything under $20 could be fair game to just take from the donation jar
  • Jonathan thinks if we happen to receive any large donations it should go to Woodbine
  • Lippe: “Eat, sleep, update drivers”
  • Lippe suggests we could brainstorm ways to make money, e.g. selling things, could use Bonfire
  • Lippe has a connection who is currently applying to sell at the MoMA store
  • Jonathan suggests workshops as a way to make money

  • Jonathan encourages donating to Woodbines withfriends
  • Woodbine Strength uses Open Collective

Servers from New York Genome Center

  • Devin says we previously discussed picking them up on January 20th
  • Pushed back to February 10th
  • We will bring all of the servers (forty 4U servers; fifty 1U servers) to Woodbine and then further distribute them from here
  • Being picked up from Lower Manhattan
  • Jonathan says you can check out his DNA on GitHub
  • We should mount the servers in the boiler room
  • Lippe would be happy to build a rack
  • Jonathan hopes theyll give us racks 👀

DWeb meeting

  • Charles says it will be happening here upstairs around January 27th
  • All are welcome
  • Hasnt been published yet
  • Charles wonders if anyone has any things theyd like to see at the meeting
  • Jonathan would like someone to ask attendees how they do peer discovery and syncing

Web infrastructure

  • Charles was having trouble logging into Mobilizon
  • Jonathan will create a place to report infrastructure problems

Cannibalism

  • Devin will provide the bodies for next weeks meeting
  • Jonathan can obtain blessing
  • Jonathan argues it is prejudicial to call “prion disease” a disease
  • Lippe has two waffle makers that need to be fixed, if anyone can help him print legs for it he will make waffles

Air quality

  • Its still kinda hot in the space
  • Lets record min and max temperatures!
    • min temp: 68° F
    • max temp: 84° F
    • current temp: 82° F
    • outside temp: 37° F
    • min humidity: off the charts
    • max humidity: 48%
    • current humidity: 44%...42%...45%!
  • We should use Celsius 😤

3D printing

  • Jonathan failed at using Android as a Klipper screen :(
  • Anyone else is welcome to try
  • Devin says Brandon says were going to upgrade Sapphire with Voron on January 15th

Ceiling update

  • Jonathans dad is willing to come here and give a professional opinion as to what to do with the ceiling

  • But consistency matters more than time
  • Lippe suggests doing a Doodle
  • Ioan will post the Doodle LettuceMeet to see if there is might be better time

New new table layout

  • Devin made a happy accident with the table layout with Mitch and [redacted]
  • For the purpose of using these huge table legs
  • Do we need more table space?
  • Jonathan thinks we need more counter-height/workbenchable table space
  • A massive community table mainly makes sense if we had community nights
  • Diversity in workspaces is good
  • Good to have the flexibility of supporting many people
  • Make sure we still have floorspace

Soldering

  • Devin made a new soldering station!
  • Capacitors, resistors, potentiometers
  • Heat gun for desoldering
