• [ ] make K20-2 bathroom privacy indicator realiable
  • [Tilmann] what kind of problems did you encounter? I tried to simplify the logic to make it more reliable already, but I wonder if the motion sensor could be flaky.
  • [Martin] I know Dorota has been working on it.
  • [Dorota] If you first press the private button and then close the door, it turns public again

5. Discussion & Announcements

Round 1

• [doug] poll for social sauna time https://crab.fit/social-sauna-148339
• [Martin] Gartenfest prep/to do list? I propose we start doing some stuff to not have to run around last minute. Also we might be able to give extra touches.
  • sweep trash corners
  • weed the walkways
  • bricks
  • ADVERTISE THE EVENT!
• [tilmann] highfield follow-up
  • sort away toilet paper
  • sort away trash bags in wash room
  • sort away bbq stuff in K18
  • sort cans in basement [Larissa]
  • move unwanted drinks to open tuesday or K18 Kleinanzeigen room
  • moth-proofing food in K20-1
• [maxime] Diesel apparently produces some 2.6kg of CO₂ per litre burnt. The trip to Highfield required burning 13L, so around 34kg CO₂. I would like to take some of the charcoal collected and bury it somewhere to compensate for those emissions.
  • [Doug] believe it would be 8.5 kg charcoal for parity (assuming 100% carbon)
    • 2.740kg CO₂/dry charcoal kg burnt (not including charcoal making) source => that would be 12.4kg charcoal to match the 34kg CO₂
  • No resistance to the symbolic act, as long as there's enough charcoal for the next year ;p
• [kito] is someone interested to do the Penny pickup thursday 6:30pm? i took the slot, but i would be happy if someone else does it. there is a second person coming, so we can get only half the stuff probably ;)
  • [Doug] thinking about it
  • [Maxime] Could be backup
• [Dorota] can stuff be saved from the feminist festival?
  • [Larissa] probably not

Round 2

• [doug] menstruation friendliness: bin in every toilet? Tampons/pads in every toilet? Stock a couple different sizes of menstrual cup in house for people to personalize?
  • [tilmann] would be good to distribute the tampons/pads that we have in the bathroom
• [tilmann] garden fuse was off yesterday noon, any reason why that could have happened?
  • it also cut off the freezer because they are connected to the same RCD
• [maxime] Let's make a solar-powered electric bbq this evening!
  • no resistance (but we do expect electric resistance)

Round 3

• [tilmann] K18 right room at the back - it's getting quite confusing with stuff for Harzgerode, Silvan, Dorota, Lantern and some stuff that looks like it has been sorted out of free shop. Please label clearly, otherwise stuff might end up elsewhere during clean-up actions!
