Organisation/2023 Trustees Election/Candidates

Philip Roy

As a longstanding member with considerable experience of the Hackspace's workings and of directorship I would be delighted to serve again and to help the Hackspace to move on to the next phase of its life.

Since joining the space in 2021 I loved every minute of our time at Ujima house. I dabbled in all areas of the space but was mostly to be found in the metal and wood shops. I helped with many aspects of maintenance there and in 2022 began running training sessions, mostly focused on the mill and lathe. Since the move in 2022 I have been working hard to help us find options for a future Hackspace. After the temporary arrangement began at EX2 I have run several of the weekly members sessions, and used my CAD background to help draw up plans and costings for several options of fit-out to make the space something we can all make use of. As a director, my first priority would be to get us an open Hackspace again for all members to make use of - while we may not be able to get back all the functionality we had at Ujima overnight, with a little effort I believe we can get the EX2 space safely open and ready for members to make the best use of, and start rebuilding the LHS community. Beyond that, I will work hard to help us find the best possible long-term home - whether that is by applying for grant funding to build a multi-storey expansion for EX2, or continuing to look out for alternatives that might suit us better in the long run.

I have been a Hackspace member for 12 years now and a Trustee for a substantial part of that. I have been involved in both the practical and organisational aspects of the space - administration, organisation, infrastructure, maintenance etc., plus tool maintenance and training. It has been an incredibly useful resource for me, both physically and socially, I have both learned much and gained a lot of friends over the years; and I'm always happy to reinvest those gains wherever possible. The smooth running and continuation of the LHS will always remain dear to me, and I look forward to continuing the adventure.

Hi, I’ve been a member of LHS since 2019, and was co-oped to the board last year. Although there have been challenges along the way, I am keen to continue helping get the hackspace back on its feet and operational ASAP. Not least of all because I have a number of projects that have been put on hold due to us being closed! My interests span what of what the hackspace has to offer, be that electronics, metal working, wood working or 3d printing.
