Corporate sponsored membership[edit]
=> vincent will look into Business membership: Can companies and self-employed people donate to the space and/or pay membership with an invoice. What about VAT ? How much can be deduced ? Can it be paid annually ? Can people be part of the board and their business/self-employment still pay ?

The new board is made of 5 people (It was four).
[4] present budget expectations for the next year[edit]
Current plans are to continue the same way.
In May we will know if the space can stay in the same place or not. It would make sense for the space to be more proactive to search for a new location.

- Prolongation will be signed next week ( Till december) (week 13)
- Tom put pressure on the YourEden immo middleman > 3 years or we're gone > region will come back to us in May

- idea = to do a workshop "introduction to electronics-workshop that also functions as an intro to the electronics lab
Pro: it disturbs the social aspect of the meetings. Con: it makes small milling jobs difficult we will move the noisy things to the front of the room, then the back room will be more silent People working on the restructuring of the space: Vincent, Askarel Who should help: everyone who wants to be able to make noise at random moments, people who want silence in the space at random moments Target: around Christmas we would like to have the space reordered
Vending machine: Askarel thinks it could be used in ~2 months.
