kit / shipping ideas

[ThomasWaldmann]

there was some discussion today about kits and workshops:

• making kits is some effort (ordering and sorting parts, collecting money, shipping stuff).
• mechanical kit parts (plastic tube etc) are a problem due to size / shipping large sizes
• the core team can do some workshops here and there, but it does not scale and traveling costs time and money

idea:

• support workshops done by other people
• offer "kits of size N" with N = 3, 5, 10, ...

pros:

• less work than individual kits (they would not be sorted, but just contain parts for N MultiGeigers)
• including the bigger parts would be a lesser problem (tube could be roughly cut to correct length)
• could be cheaper because less work / less shipping costs?

cons:

• any?

Idea from meeting: make a reduced kit by:

• make a public shopping list at reichelt for self-shopping
• links for heltec devices
• tested tubes (sometimes defect)
• exotic / hard to get components

[ThomasWaldmann]

other idea: outsource

• ELV?
• Segor?
• Reichelt?
• Mitch (USA)?
