		⚫	**Area hosts and volunteer authorizers love to help people make cool stuff. If you want to get authorized on something and there isn't anything on the calendar, post a request on the discord in the appropriate channel (with a time and date that works for you) so other people can join in. Authorizations help transmitting necessary and important information about dangerous, expensive or complicated tools; batching it for several people makes it more efficient and you get to meet other members.

		⚫	* Tell someone if something breaks or isn't working the way you'd expect: A big time suck at the space is fixing broken things. No worries, breaking things happens to everyone, but it is super useful if what you were doing and how the thing broke is communicated to someone that can help out verbally or in the discord, even if you are the one to fix it, or it gets fixed on the spot. The more detail about how something breaks (or doesn't work quite right) the better; it helps us figure out why it broke, how to repair it, weak points in the device or auth, and avoids someone getting hurt or breaking things further.

	Sign up for the Area host google group - the area host google group has been around for a long time, and was recently revived to handle space planning stuff. It's not super active because there aren't a ton of people on it. The purpose is for planning though, and to keep the topics on point in both groups.
