Hi there,
here are some news and updates from xHain:
The Member Meeting was moved to early January, due to scheduling difficulties. The exact date will be announced in due time. Main topic will be our commitment to the Haus der Statistik.
We have registered an assembly for 37C3. Where you can find us and details about logistics will be announce via Matrix channel and mailing list.
We managed to get all needed tickets, big thanks to our clicking army! There still might be tickets available in the official shop.
On December 12th the Enting is going to take the first legal step in founding a Verein. This includes a few last decisions on the Vereinssatzung, the actual founding and voting for a Vorstand (board).
The current version of the text of the Vereinssatzung is published in our wiki: https://wiki.x-hain.de/en/Governance/agendas-documents/vereinssatzung
All members can submit a last change request there till December 10th.
Sebastian has left the Enting due to personal reasons unrelated to xHain. He remains involved with and committed to xHain.
The Enting now consists of 7 Ents (Björn, Rafa, Dave, Danimo, Gueldi, Richard and Niclas).
Accepted Proposal: Migrating German wiki content to English and dissolving the German wiki.
Rationale: The German wiki is outdated and misses most of the pages avaiable in English. It is unrealistic for xHain at this point, to maintain a German wiki. Modern browsers provide translation services which makes it quite easy to translate content for the reader. In addition it is explicitly allowed to create German content inside the English wiki, which will be translated by other users in due time. This is to include authors who don't feel confident to write in English but have valuable content to provide.
Accepted Proposal: Introduction of a MakeHERspace day
Description: [check description further down]
Accepted Proposal: Timeline for founding the Verein
Starting at noon till open end on every other Thursdays there will be an event hosted by Eva (paleva). This event is inviting women, girls, grandmas and FLINTA people to the space and will start as a members only event and will probably be extended outwards within the first few event days. This will allow for the members to explore the space and the tools in a relaxed athmosphere to solder, sew, 3D print or craft.
Currently, no one can provide machine introductions on that day. If you want to use machines requiring an introduction, ensure you've arranged it beforehand.
We ask-men (cis = gender identity corresponds to their sex assigned at birth) to leave xHain at noon, with the exception of the people renting an office table, guests at that time have to accept this compromise.
Male members can still pick up/drop off urgent stuff during the event if this is done quickly and with a low profile.
After a six month testphase there will be an evaluation, if this will be continued as a regular event at xHain.
