Guidelines
Giving a tour? You'll need to cover a few basic points.
- PS1 is a volunteer-run organization, no one gets paid to be here
- We are the physical manifestation of the open source movement.
- Why hackerspace? There is no reason anyone needs to create or needs an excuse to do it. It doesn't matter what you make as long as you're making something.
- See something that needs fixing? This is a physical wiki - go fix it (and tell someone).
- There is no staff here, so you must clean up after yourself.
- Our primary rule: Be Excellent To Each Other
- ...you can also be asked to leave the organization for not respecting people, equipment, or facilities
- We have two membership levels:
- “starving hacker” members ($40/mo)
- 24 hour access to the space
- ability to be certified on tools
- full members ($70/mo)
- fully contributing members of the community
- have voting rights
- get everything starving hackers get, plus storage space (lockers and/or shelves), discounts on classes, events, and merchandise
- “starving hacker” members ($40/mo)
- We have a tool labeling system (Authorization Required = you must be certified to use this tool, DNH = do not hack this). See the Equipment Wiki page for more info.
- We have three google groups:
- Public: anyone can join
- Private: members-only - members MUST join
- Directors: any member may join - this is a way to get further into the guts of how things work at PS1
Interested in learning more? The PS1 orientation class is a great way to learn more about how things actually work here. Look for it on the Events page at pumpingstationone.org
Printed Form
Nice looking printed form: File:PS1TourChecklist.doc. On 11/9/2103, we are currently working on getting a couple laminated versions of this document upstairs on the table in-between crafts and electronics.
