Since we started the hackspace over five years ago I have watched it bloom into something we could never have imagined in the beginning - a community of over 100 people was almost unfathomable then, a community of over 1000 simply a joke.
 
We're still operating in a very similar manner to how we began, and while I (and others) have pushed for changes when necessary our current model is a simplistic evolution of the one set out in 2009. We've learned many lessons and passed on the knowledge, but we've not always used it to improve our own space.
 
In 2015 I would like to push for simple changes to the space in order to help manage the growing pains we're still suffering, giving more power to members, and helping the trustees manage the increasing load generated by the membership.
 
By the end of 2015 I am aiming for the following things:
 
* Subgroups being fully empowered to maintain their portions of the space
* Refurbishment of parts of the space that remain untouched since moving
* Better accessibility for tools and areas of the space
* Tools and consumables being replaced & maintained constantly, with reporting for broken or missing equipment
* Access control on all equipment that requires training, and regular scheduled training
* Budget set aside for decorating the space and making it look awesome
* Scheduled tours on Tuesday night, with guide training for those that want to help
* Better communication with groups and introductions for new members
* Better online presence, and a regular newsletter (again!)
 
I can't promise all this, but I can tell you I've already been working toward it for some time.
2015 is going to be a great year for the hackspace.
