Store whatever you like in your [[Storage|personal box]]. Note that since we have over 1000 members, there isn't enough room for all of them to have a storage box, let alone be able to store items outside of it. So as per [[Rules]] 7 and 8:
Store whatever you like in your [[Storage|personal box]]. Note that since we have over 1000 members, there isn't enough room for all of them to have a storage box, let alone be able to store items outside of it. So as per [[Rules]] 7 and 8:
* Only members may store items at the Hackspace. If you're not a member, your stuff may be removed, destroyed, or hacked at a moment's notice.
* You MUST complete an [https://london.hackspace.org.uk/storage/list.php online storage request] for permission for ANY item or project not fitting in your box before building it or bringing it into the space.


For items that you want to store outside of your personal box use the following points as a guide before bringing it to the space:
Only members may store items at the Hackspace. If you're not a member, your stuff may be removed, destroyed, or hacked at a moment's notice.
* '''Check''' it's okay '''before''' bringing the item into the space; complete an [https://london.hackspace.org.uk/storage/list.php online storage request] which will raise it as a topic on the [https://groups.google.com/group/london-hack-space mailing list].
 
* '''Label the item with a "Do Not Hack" sticker''', when your request is approved you can print your own sticker at no cost using the kiosk outside the classroom on the ground floor. Your full name, email, and the expected removal date are REQUIRED. Failing to complete the online request form or having a printed "Do Not Hack" sticker means your item may be removed from the space.
If you're not using your member's box or don't think you'll use it for a while consider freeing it up so someone else can use it.
* '''Will the item be actively worked on?''' - If you do not intend to use or work on the item in the immediate future then keep it at home until you can. If you're not going to be using it for a while then take it home/don't bring it until you can.
 
* '''Store items responsibly''' - Find an appropriate home in the space for your item and keep it there when not in use.
=== Big items ===
 
* A big item is one that doesn't fit in your box.
* You '''must''' be a member to store a big item.
* To store a big item you must get permission '''first'''.
 
To get permission do the following:
 
# Go to [https://london.hackspace.org.uk/storage/list.php]  
# Fill in the form
# Wait: the [[Mailing List]] will be receive your proposal.
#* If no one replies to the thread within 2 days then the request will be approved automatically and you can go to the next step
#* If someone does comment then once the thread has reached a consensus someone can approve your request and you go to the next step
#* If the consensus **rejects** your proposal then, sorry, but you can't bring the item in.
# Assuming you're project's been accepted you need to print a 'DO NOT HACK' sticker to attach to your project.
# Work on your project!
# Remove your project before your time runs out!
 
If you don't follow these steps what happens to your project is [http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/N/nasal-demons.html undefined], most likely it'll be removed.
