  • NB: Like the TV. $80. Committee: Done.
  • David O'Meara
    • Adrian from Trotec (laser cutters) mentioned that with the greater prevalence of laser cutters, his clients are reporting more instances of safety audits from official people. For example are activities restricted to LSO holders are performed by people that are not? and the case keys are not secured? David would also like confirmation that the electronics for the swipe card (accessible by opening the lid) does not bypass the security entirely.
      • Noted
      • We have documented procedures and officers on the wiki
    • we were querying additional undocumented cameras in the space.
      • There was a flaky one on stage, not working, removed
      • CAD Room: Working, on webcams page
      • Main space: Working, on webcams page
      • Need to be documented, accessible, not too invasive
      • JD: All cameras must be on http://artifactory.org.au/webcams/
      • JD: Disagree with recording
      • MK: Versus security, we have had a $150 fridge theft just recently
      • BD: Messagebox on webcams - send messages to space
      • WC: Button on webpage to disable cameras for 30mins, like aircon/dunny timer?
    • David provided a written apology and visitor token to someone that visited the space and was turned off by a negative and hostile reception. Social skills are not a geek's strong point but we all reflect the space and no single person is more important than the space.
      • Social corrosiveness, some abrasive
      • “Nerds with beards”
      • Smart people arrive at the space and feel taken down to average
      • JM: We have a problem with onboarding new members: how do we formalise and do it consistently well?
      • WC: Welcoming badge: you can wear it when you feel like doing it?
      • JD: Badge: “Ask me questions, I won't call you stupid”

      • BD: replacement has now arrived and installed on the Up!

      • No, but subject to improvement
    • perspex trolley is a nice idea but not enforceable
    • big red LC1290 rhs z axis steppers needs a fix for the tensioning bolt

Subject: [artifactory-core] A suggestion on training laser/swarfomat
To: artifactory-core@googlegroups.com

There has been a lot of talk lately about laser and cnc training.
I'd like to throw a suggestion out there.
These are both industrial style machines that i think would benefit from structured
training days. Probably a good 5-6 hours going through all the stages in a structured
lesson, similar to the way welding and courses I run are conducted.
And possibly with laser and cnc split over two weekends.This can also be accompanied
by handouts with picture/photo references of each stage.
I personally have been trained on laser but have since forgotten most of it.
If everyone had something to refer back to and had a decent amount of time to concentrate
on the tasks, it would probably make the operation of these machines less problematic.
Because of the time devoted by people training I don't see a problem charging for these
lessons, whatever that amount maybe. And also with an at least two week notice so
positions to attend course can be allocated, and there is clear sign up and notice for
all parties involved.
