Tour checklist

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
• 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

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.
