This is a list of different ways you can contact PS1, get help from the organization, and get general help in an emergency.
* Public E-mail: info@pumpingstationone.org:
** This goes to the director's mailing list. Please do not e-mail the director's list unless the public list or the members list is for some reason inappropriate for the mail. Sending mail to the director's list means our busy directors need to take time to read it.
* [http://groups.google.com/group/pumping-station-one-public Public list] - For general hacker / maker content and announcements to the public.
* [http://groups.google.com/group/pumping-station-one Members list] - For things specific to Pumping Station: One like projects improving the space itself, policy proposals, etc. Keep PS:One business to within the walls of the members list.
* [http://groups.google.com/group/pumping-station-one-members-announce/ Announce list] - Announcement of meetings, classes, events, votes. Much lower traffic than the other lists: messages are only sent by the directors.
* [http://groups.google.com/group/ps1-director Director's list] - Watch the sausage being made! Be privy to every excruciating detail of PS:One business. Members can watch, but please post sparingly.
