November 2022 - 57north-discuss - lists.57north.org.uk

Hiya We were trying to do some laser cutting yesterday with the Trotec laser cutter. Unfortunately it seems to not really be working just now. I last did some etching/cutting back at the start of October, but I think it wasn't working a week or so ago either. So I was just wondering if anyone has used it successfully in October or November? If anyone noticed anything different about it or it's software set-up. If so, please reply & let me know. It seems to have an issue with the laser not really firing. Kev and I checked all the obvious things yesterday, with no luck. Anyway, no trauma, just a quick email to say it's not really working, and if anyone had thoughts or ideas about it. Probably best if no-one tinkers with it, or tries to use it, till we've had a bit of time to try to figure it out. It's got a wiki page at https://wiki.57north.org.uk/doku.php?id=projects:laser_cutter Cheers Andy

Re: [57north-announce] Open Tuesday, 2022-11-29

by Wouter Piessens

Hey all, I will be in today as well. My aim is to do some reading up methods to bike hub dynamos and the conversion of the output (AC 6V 3W) to a power bank. This seems to be quite a faf, and commercial available solutions in the bike world are not within my budget...(or I am just too stingy ;-) ) See you tonight.

I should probably take apart my stopwatch for curling and work out why it turns off randomly and rattles when I shake it.

Discussions about tweaks to 57 North organisational principles, articles of association

by Andy Gaskell

Hiya With everything now being a bit post-covid, and us planning an AGM in April next year, it's probably a good time to start looking at any changes to the hacklab's organisational principles and policies. In practice this is usually a constant and ongoing process, but we've had a bit of a hiatus during the covid permacrisis. So, our organisational principles and policies are outlined in our Articles of Association, which we keep in git at... https://github.com/hackerdeen/articles/blob/master/hacklab_articles.pdf We decided a wee while ago that we'd use Github issues to propose and discuss changes to the articles. These can also be used to discuss issues further at board meetings or AGMs. The "issues" can be viewed, added to and discussed at... https://github.com/hackerdeen/articles/issues ...there are four issues there just now, nothing earth shattering really, more just tweaks to help the hackspace run a bit smoother. From these issues, we'll propose solutions, changes to the articles of association, which will be implemented as pull requests for modifications to the articles document. Once everyone is more or less happy with proposed changes, as per any applicable processes. Anyways, sorry, it all sounds a bit formal, it's not meant to be really, have a look and please get stuck in adding comments and raising issues. Just a bit of an email to explain this process generally and encourage folk to get involved. Hope this all sounds ok :) Cheers Andy

Hey I'll be along from 7ish, might be a flying visit though, depending on kid shuttling requirements. Fedverse node sounds a good idea.
