Vote result and/or next steps agreed upon

Point 7: Should we join some interesting organizations?

Shalf, 2 minutes.

Proposal for decision and/or help needed

1. Should we join coworking.ch, at least as observators?

Why? We have always been a coworking community for biologists and curious minds, basically. This movement needs us, and we might need to cooperate more with other folks having that kind of values.
Their GA is March 21 in Solothurn, Shalf will be there already for other business (he's been a member since 2016 re: his coworking activities), should he formally register to represent Hackuarium at that occasion?
Membership options & rights

2. Should we be listed on included.co?

Shared buying power. They do a lot of good stuff for shared/hybrid spaces communities around the world, and the founder is a trusted friend. For instance, they sponsored this awesome academic project: Coworking Library. It is free for us (their terms, see clause 9 in particular for biz model -- their privacy policy). There is currently e.g. a Revolut for Business offer that could give us a pre-paid biz credit card for free for 6 months, no strings attached. Vote result and/or next steps agreed upon

3. Should we join the SVSN

Société Vaudoise de Sciences Naturelles We could join as an association

Point 8: Other Business

  • Mural project
  • Stagiaires - if you want some from the EPFL for your projects, need to make official offers!

Things that will be taken care of before/after the meeting

Aka the things we do not need to waste time talking about if it has been (self-)assigned to someone, documented here, and a deadline set up and shared if needed.

Changes to Bylaws

The revisions to the bylaws voted on during the AG need to be implemented. Yann has made the Changes and RA is printing this out for signatures tonight!

  • Article 3 of the Statutes: to put our current address, Route de Crochy 20, Ecublens
  • Article 5 of the Statutes: to say we will work in good faith with the Space Alliance Cooperative

Yann took care of it updated them Statuts Association Hackuarium --Shalf (talk) 10:18, 8 March 2019 (UTC) Yay!
We still need to officialise our membership as an association in the Coopérative!

Other Business
