There will be a Governance Retreat to develop the inner structure of xHain e.V.
We've noticed a rising number of thefts at xHain. Lastly the entire kitchen piggy bank was stolen.
We urge members to make sure that nobody comes in unnoticed. Feel free to always ask people in the space to introduce themselves. Please do not feel offended if someone asks you to introduce yourself, even if you have been an active member for many years. We want to encourage everyone to get to know each other and be aware of who is in the space.
We also formed a workgroup to develop safety concepts. You are very welcome to join this effort, please contact @richard:x-hain.de.
The drop ceiling in the second room is installed for the most part and most of the walls are smoothed out and painted. This weekend we've started with facing the walls and installing the drop ceiling in the first room.

Please abide the rules for allowed materials to the letter and keep in mind, that you handling a 10k machine.
