Munich Stammtisch of Michael Faraday Institution e.V.
Munich
- Stammtisch (monthly informal meeting for meal &/or
drinks & chat), typically about 8 to 20 people.
-
Reservation name:
- Table so far has been reserved & announced under
surname of person phoning to book.
- Not booked & announced consistently under name
"Faraday", perhaps later ?
(Easier for visitors to to remember, (as
organisers for weekly Beer Gardeners
indoor venue bookings discovered long ago, it works well,
(waiters happily take bookings in a stammtisch name,
sometimes also request caller name or number, sometime
not.)).
- Venue is moving around in early 2013, seeking somewhere
quieter than a noisey beer hall, Venue enquiries/ comments to
annuncer/conveners: Alistair Gill &/or Paul Cullen.
(Author will add (URL)s of contact info here if permission
is offered)

Calendar:
- 3rd Monday in the month.

Calendar entries also in:
- Faraday group was
founded in Munich in 1991, 200 years after the birth of
Faraday. Associated with the British IEE (Institution of Electrical
Engineers) (IEE 2006 merged to IET = Institution of Engineering and
Technology).
- Faraday &/or IET also have a presence
in some other German cities.

For Faraday [Munich] members (electrical & electronic
engineers etc), & similar others, so we can alert each
other direct on engineering issues, events, opportunities
etc, particularly urgent things that won't wait till next
Stammtisch or for central committee humans to read approve
& relay. List Not Moderated. Language: English List is
server hosted, automaticaly, with fallback server. Free of
adverts. No data harvesting (unlike commercial list
providers).
For a list of official Faraday/IET moderated
announcements, eg of Stammtisch venue etc, also contact Munich convener
-
Later if rommittee &/or stammtisch convener wants
proper server driven list[s], this list faraday@ could be
split & renamed in 2 or even 3 if wanted, eg:
- faraday-announce@ : low bandwidth, writable
only by those authorised in a list of addresses provided
by committee &/or convener of Munich Stammtisch.
Subscription open, or approval by convener.
(Lists pcs@ & vcfe@ are analogous 3rd party lists on @berklix.org
.)
- faraday-discuss@ open unmoderated, anyone who
subscribed can write to it.
- faraday-germany@ a 3rd list later, (if people
might want a germany wide, not munich local list, &
also not controlled via IET HQ).
History/ Purpose Of This Page
- This page has an (URL) much
longer stable in time than the official migrating (URL)s
Thus kept as a central node to point to
from from various berklix pages, & to point onward from,
to latest official Faraday
(URL).
-
When Author first created this page
years back, Faraday/Munich had no web presence ( On the
Faraday blue leaflet available at the AGM in 2001 there was
still no web site mentioned).
Nothing Author could point at from
various berklix pages
eg
Hence this page got created.
-
Then for years there were just broken pages:
- January 2002, via Tristram, Author heard Bernadette's son's web pages
had finally gone on line, as official, www.IEEGermany.de. @
2013-04-23 all sub pages fail.
- Broken 2004.06.12, 2006.10.19 & 2009.01.17
: Totally inaccessible unless Shockwave installed. (Not
all operating systems have shock wave, not all people
trust foreign binaries, especially Microsoft virus
compatible. Some only trust & run
source code one can examine & compile localy.
)
- 2006.05 The MFI/IET Germany web-site has been
modified a little to accommodate the amalgamation of the
IEE and the IIE to form the IET (The Institution of
Engineering & Technology). As before, the web-site
can be found at www.ieegermany.de However
the web-site is now also accessible at the following two
new addresses: www.ietgermany.de ( @
2013-04-23 all sub pages fail.) & www.theietgermany.de (
@ 2013-04-23 all sub pages fail.)
- 2006-10-19: www.mfi-ev.de announced
by Alan Teale, Still works at 2013-04-22
- 2009-01: http://www.theiet.org/local/europe/germany/
referred to in Newsletter from Derek Mullinger. ( @
2013-04-23 dead (URL).)
- 2012-10 with dissent between UK HQ & members in
Germany on budgeting for events, no reason to suppose the
full theiet.org (URL) would be long
term stable.
- 2013-04-22 http://www.theiet.org/local/europe/germany/ (URL) dead. - QED !
- 2013-04-22: Yet another new (URL) found: http://mycommunity.theiet.org/communities/home/310
with a blocked link to "Michael Faraday Institution e.V.

Stammtisch Old Location
Here's a simple line drawing (sure a `real' map would be
nicer, but most maps are copyright) of where the Stammtisch
used to be (moved away in 2013 'cos too noisy).
Qualification Translation Question (To Be Moved
Elsewhere Later)
Thorsten Steentjes on SAGE.De mail list asked in 2004:
Englischsprachige Bezeichnung deutscher
Berufsabschluesse: "Staatlich gepruefter technischer
Assistent fuer Informatik" ?
Author replied:
There may well be no colloquially correct name for an
equivalent certification. Such certification as such, may
well not even exist ! Even when similar qualifications
exist, they rarely map exactly. The more someone asserts
A exactly equals B, the more the asserter should be
distrusted ;-) Sometimes one is safer just translating
literally as "German state certified ...."
- Germany's keener on bits of paper than Anglo
Saxons are. I'm English, when I left for Muenchen in
1985, I don't recall the word Informatics even existed
(yes I know that's tempting fate, someone may dig up an
obscure reference :-) Wasn't common though, might be
now, or not :-) There's lots of other bits of paper in
Germany, we (fortunately) don't have in England too,
(eg
-
- Ehe- Unbedenklichkeits-
Bescheinigungen
- Gewerbe-Schein
- Anwohner- Melde- Amts- Schein usw
- Regelmaessig Schornstein/Kammer-
Putz/Inspektions Bestaetigungschein or whatever
it's called here ;-)
- Identitaets Ausweiss - We don't even have ID cards - thank
god - yet - though UK politicians keep pushing (we
just have passports).
No obstruction by industry in the UK, having a
Gewerbe-Schein demanded of you before purchase,
instead you just get told by wholesale outlets the
pragmatic message "Our minimum order quantity/ value
is ...." ...: Different countries, different systems,
so similar certifications may not exist.
Derek M. added: I suggest the form "German
state-certified Technical Assistant for Informatics" is
probably the best one can do, and it is quit clear.
