Curator Meeting - June 24th 20:15
Agenda: https://pad.x-hain.de/p/xHain-Curator-Agenda-2026-06-24?edit
Curators are the lifelines of our space. They keep it organised, order stuff, repair tools, give introductions, organise workshops, and answer questions. Here's a list with the current Curators:
A big Thank You to Dave, Olli, Jascha and Maya, who stepped down as Curators in the past months.
We try to keep an overview of all responsibilities: https://wiki.x-hain.de/en/Governance/task-map
The number of our neighbours has now tripled and, especially with our new neighbours, it is very important to make a good impression. Please make sure that in the evenings at 22:00 at the latest all tables and chairs are inside, that conversations are done quietly and large groups are avoided. You are welcome to move the discussion to Scubar. In addition please avoid to smoke directly in front of G18 in the evening and also feel responsible to keep noises during departure at a low. Thank you so much!
A Work Group was formed for establishing awareness at xHain. This is done in a paced manner and includes experiences from other spaces, to make xHain Awareness functional and sustainable.
If you are interested to join the effort, please join this channel: https://matrix.to/#/#awareness-workgroup:x-hain.de
Stay tuned about updates, how awareness is organised and how to reach the Awareness-Team.
In the current setup, if you have an awareness issue, please talk to a trusted member, write to the Enting (#enting:x-hain.de) or contact a mediator: https://wiki.x-hain.de/en/about-xhain/Mediation
We do have some delays, concerning the kitchen and the locking system, but we're slowly approaching the big moving day(s). If somebody asks, it will happen in about two weeks ; )
As of June we have 6 subtenants in G18 and G20. Their areas are off limits to all members, the entrances must be kept accessible and we have to make sure, that sanitary infrastructure is working at all times. Please be nice and welcoming to these people, most of them are not a member.
Every Monday from 18:00 to 22:00, be it Christmas or the end of the world, still, xHain opens its gates to the public and the community provides tours and answers. Most of us had their first physical contact through Open Monday. But it's more than that: It's the day to work on inhouse projects, coordinate infrastructure tasks, catch up on current topics, gossip with old faces, and finally have a meaningful discussion about the nacelles of the 1701 Enterprises. Some Mondays there are even donuts.
Open Monday is, Next to Round Table and InfraDay, an important pillar of our community and always a little celebration of the same. I invite you to come by and enjoy an evening with us.
Accepted Proposal: Ronja becomes Curator of Textiles.
Reasoning: She wants to be more involved, and is excited to do things for both Goldsmithing and Textiles. We talked about it in February or so and she's been already doing acting as such since. Both Ivo and Núria agree.
Accepted Proposal: Anita becomes Curator of LaserLab.
Reasoning: She takes care for the microscope and can help taking care of the Lab.
Accepted Proposal: Tobi ( unlink (he/him) DECT 4100 ) becomes a Curator for Electronics Area.
Reasoning: He wants to be one and help victor in his efforts.
Accepted Proposal: Due to unexcellent behaviour towards several other members, one individual gets banned from xHain's physical and digital space for 4 weeks. During this time, further measures will be considered.
Reasoning: We want to provide a safe and friendly space for our community.
Accepted Proposal: Quentin, Tina and Danimo become Curators of AVX.
Reasoning: They volunteered to, after this Branch has been established at xHain without official Curators. All three have been heavily involved in the setup of the AVX room and materials so far and are excited to become its curators.
