User:Robert/Improving the space

Start of some ideas for improving the hackspace.

Resources

Tool organisation

Aim: Ensure tools can be found easily and are returned to their storage location after use.

• Good progress has been made on the tool rack.
• More tools need to have a section added for them on the tool rack.
• Identify what other tools are in the space and where they should belong.

Component availability

Aim: Ensure there is a consistent stock of specific components, and that these are readily identifiable.

• Decide what components we want to keep a stock of in the space.
• Identify how many we want to have at any time, perhaps keep a separate box to restock the smaller component trays as required.
• Develop an efficient stock-keeping and presentation process.

Material availability

Aim: Ensure a supply of larger materials is available for use.

• Work is ongoing to obtain quotes for acrylic based materials.
• Identify what specific types we want to keep, and what sized sheets to order.
