not.)).

List or Other
Lists 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, automatically, with fallback server.
Free of adverts. No data harvesting (unlike commercial list
providers).
For a list with official Faraday/IET moderated
announcements, eg of Stammtisch venue etc, contact Munich convener
-
If committee &/or stammtisch convener wants proper
server driven list[s], this list faraday@ could be split
& renamed in 2 or 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.
(Lists pcs@ & vcfe@ are analogous 3rd party lists on @berklix.org
.)
- faraday-discuss@ open unmoderated, anyone on
list could 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 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 locally.
)
- 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 2015-11-12
- 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.

- As usual at Stammtisch quite a lot of interest in other
subjects beyond common engineering, eg At 2017, a lot of
interest in Brexit & numerous
Faraday Stammtisch members are also seen at Brexit

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 (at Paulaner Brauhaus)
(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 quite clear.
