Dear students,

We decided to reopen our student’s working room. According to the university’s corona regulations, the following rules must be respected:

• Only fully vaccinated persons (according to Saarland’s current Covid19 regulation) are allowed to use the room. The university might have controls, so always have your certificate with you.
• Keep a minimum distance of 1.5 meters to others at all times.
• You need to wear a medical mask when moving inside the building or within the room. Additionally, if the minimal distance of 1.5 meters can’t be kept, you also need to wear a medical mask. You can take off your mask when working at your assigned desk.
• Each day that you visit the student’s working room, please mark your presence in the list that is placed in the kitchen.

If you want to use the room and no desk was assigned to you yet, please contact our group seminar admin. If you have an assigned desk but stopped using it, please also let us know.

We are looking forward to meeting you more often in person.

Dear Students, 
the exchange of bachelor and master students is an essential part of your thesis. Sadly, the current situation of the pandemics harshly restricts said exchange. 
Therefore, to help you and your fellow students to connect and help each other, we introduce the group seminar coffee meeting. 

This coffee meeting will take place twice per week, Monday and Thursday at 9 am. In each meeting, one of you may loosely report about the current work and also about arising problems.

The first coffee meeting will take place on Monday (31.01.22) via zoom. See you then.

Dear students, 

we build ourselves a digital office. You can find it here https://gather.town/app/tOdDWZR6K4E4MHTR/MoSi

This is a so-called gather and should simplify interaction. It works as follows:

• Moving in gather can be done by using the arrow keys. Talking to others is only enabled to persons who are virtually near you!
• Interacting with whiteboards, documents, etc can be done via the X – key. 
• All Offices are private spaces. That means within an office, one can always hear all other users within that office, independent of the distance within that room, but no users outside from the office (and vice versa). 
• All meeting tables (blue) are also private spaces. 
• In the Students working room is the area exactly in front of each table a private room. 
• The red-colored rooms/area are zoom tables and enable a seamless connection to a Zoom meeting (which generally has a better audio and video quality).

We try to follow this working procedure:

• While we are working at home, we are online in the gather. When not working actively in the gather, one can of course deactivate microphone and camera. 
• When we are actively working (e.g. reading, implementing…) the availability is set to green or yellow (basically the same, just different behavior considering camera/microphone)
• If we are not available for a short period of time, e.g. coffee break, we set the availability to red. Thus, the others now that the person is not here. 
• If we are gone for a longer time (e.g. lecture, external zoom-meeting, private appointment), we just log out of the gather – like in reality, the person is just not here. 
• On every used desk (for students as soon as they claimed one) is placed a document. When someone wants to talk to you when you were not available, they can leave a note. Or vice versa – you can leave a note when you’ll be back etc. 

We are hoping to simulate a pre-pandemic everyday working environment. We encourage you to use the gather, especially to communicate with your fellow students. 

See you at gather!
