Based on the suggestion in the open day thread:
== Preparation ==
* start with a reminder (email & tweet): make sure to label & store your stuff properly, cleanup session coming up. This will give everyone a chance to rescue their crap beforehand.
* discuss proposals for any bigger infrastructure changes on the infrastructure list (new shelving, new workspace layout, etc.) This ensures that we are well-prepared, and avoids surprises.
* early July: send out invitation to cleanup & space organising day (via email, IRC, tweet, Fax etc)


And then:
Provisioning for the cleaning itself:
* mid-July: cleanup & space organising day on a suitable weekend or two (best a Saturday in case we need to buy stuff)
* Pan scrubbers, abrasive cleaner for sinks (esp. unit 23)
* 31 July: partay
* Ensure battery-powered drills are charged

About

A semi-regular event where we take some time off from all the busy hacking on projects and hack the space instead. A chance to clean up the mess, reorganise how we store our tools and materials, optimise the space layout, restock consumables, and throw out things that aren't useful to anyone.

Links, Discussions
