initial title: „positioning regarding repair cafes“

K-SPACE is compared against repair cafes. Work out a strategy (more details and ideas in 2024-01-11 Arti DM). 24/7 and basic amenities: heating (luxury), flowing water and WC and coffee and dishes, paying bills, security(* mostly shared), storage(* not unlimited pahnahunnik), WiFi, hosting. Splendid-looking coworking space for events, other rooms usually get the woah-effect from guests as well. Inventoried (to be one) parts, ctrl-f the whole floor for self-help. Thursdays help is available.

Pick and place machine #154

cc #128: With a reformed presence, it might be helpful to, like a standard business:

Outline physical stuff, and soft areas of activity
Assess the level of common expertise in each
Pick the ones (pillars) to focus on, for investment, standing (the place for x), and years-to-compete (if 3rd party would compete, how much money, institutional knowledge, and time they'd need)
Perhaps already while picking, form them in to a somewhat cohesive 2-paragraph statement.
What are the opportunities for having the named pillars in the same place? Think also cashflow.

Non-pillars don't need to be trashed. Right now, the image is something slammed together, while in reality there have been noteworthy periods (with lasting results).

I'm guessing some of the pillars may be:

Server room: hosting, experimenting¹
Manufacturing: electronics (non-woodworking), CAD
Debugging (and building): equipment (tools, people), spare parts
Event space: rooms (what about unaffiliated members during the event), media (streamlined borrowing pls)
edit: Manufacturing-debugging could be merged, Museum should stand as the fourth.

I think 'field day' ("I have set thing and time") capability still needs improvement:

Space — not work, not home, the third: amenities are actually pretty good
Equipment (what is, at quality, expensive/roomy/oneoff to have at home): cleaning up and maintenance
Expertise ("ask Arti"): getting others to be available (best on Chaostreff off-hours), and building sense of ownership (as in the past with specific individuals in the workshop) — resulting in improving the space (tasks in k-space.ee/todo).

While greenlighting is supposedly minimal effort, the go-aheads have become unreasonably prohibitive — encouraging not asking, and demolishing context/motivation with 3d-2w replies.

K-SPACE infrastructure is today still a limbo where nobody wants to maintain it, and everyone want to abuse / add to it. ↩︎

One thing I see while introducing K-SPACE: Is it a location? → OK, a small room → OK, whole floor → clear mismatch in imagination: whole floor can be 2 rooms in a private house, whereas here, are a of a whole building would be more accurate.

Debugging/Lab:

a: looking to buy ostsilloskoop
r: ära osta, leia koht kus on :D köhh-space; might be endal ülikoolil ka olemas
a: ma ei hakka kogu oma setupi kuhugi vedama, aga mis ostsilloskoop teil seal on?
r: {2 inventory linki}
a: no need vähemasti pole nüüd iseäranis kallid instrumendid, et mitte-ostmise tüli ära tasuks

Is there room / point to compete with TTÜ rent-out labs? Public-facing low-setup use?
