Club Foundation & Administration\n\n* **Official Launch:** node-K is officially founded, and all board members have been properly registered.\n* **Member Management:** The team is utilizing Jonas’ membership tool to streamline onboarding. The goal is to look at other hackspaces for inspiration to build an all-in-one financial and member management platform.\n* **Weekly Meetings:** Meetings will now be held **every Tuesday evening** to keep up momentum. A calendar will be added to the website.\n\n---\n\n### 2. Finances, Banking & Insurance\n\n* **Bank Account:** Found it difficult to find a bank that accommodates clubs without high fees. **Volksbank** was chosen as the best option due to low costs and no transaction fees.\n* **Insurance:** Estimated at an average of **€6**.\n* **Payment Systems:** Discussed two main options for in-club payments (drinks, materials, etc.):\n* *SumUp:* Low upfront hardware cost, but carries a 1.4% transaction fee.\n* *Club Credit:* Users load a balance linked to their Authentik account. Legally, this layout is treated as a donation.\n\n---\n\n### 3. Location Scouting & Strategy\n\n| Location | Cost | Pros | Cons \u002F Notes |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| **Old Merkur Warehouse** *(Top Choice)* | ~ €500\u002Fmo (incl. utilities) | Cheap room on 1st floor (€120 base); hands-off landlord; potentially the best option if interior is clean. | Current tenant is still moving out; potential accessibility issues; \"full of mysteries.\" |\n| **MiMa Markt** | €500\u002Fmo (potentially less if store does well) | Central location, kitchen access, 24\u002F7 entry, available from September. | Awkward room layout (40m²); requires movable desks which could be annoying; extra furniture costs. |\n| **Schleppekurve (\"Biker spot\")** | TBD | Close to the highway and bus stops. | Further from the city center; currently reaching out for pricing. |\n| **SUC \u002F Makerspace** | €200 for fixed desk + cooperation | Plans for restructuring (lounge, standing desk, parts storage). | **Cleanup party this Saturday at 12:00 PM** to move things around. Stage modifications require Thomas' approval. |\n| **Magistrat** | TBD | Government might be looking for a space for the club. | No concrete details yet. |\n\n---\n\n### 4. Technical Infrastructure\n\n* **Authentik:** The Authentik structure will be slightly reworked to ensure a clean, optimized setup moving forward. The platform was presented to the team, received positive feedback, and will be adapted as new use cases pop up.\n\n- Slides available at [hackerspace\\_meeting\\_28\\_05\\_2026.pdf](https:\u002F\u002Fcloud.node-k.at\u002Fs\u002FFqaz6iJPZY2isAk)","en",true]
