Hack the Space Day
(We are currently doing a few test runs.)
A proposed monthly day on the last Saturday of each month where we come together to work on the space. Such a regular "hacking the space" day could bring together experienced & new members with the intention of working on the space. Infrastructure improvements, cleanups, tool maintenance, … whatever we deem appropriate at the time.
This day can serve as an excellent introduction for new members after they've had a Tuesday tour.
Upcoming Dates
The next dates for a few test runs:
Saturday 25 May, from 2pm- Saturday 29 June, from 2pm
- Saturday 27 July, from 2pm
- ... i.e., every last Saturday of the month.
We'll meet at the sofa corner to introduce each other, and to discuss what needs doing.
How to Help
The Hack the Space day is a good opportunity to:
- meet other active community members,
- fix/reorganise/improve the space,
- learn new skills while doing so.
If you're an experienced member, have identified something that needs fixing, or have experience in the use and maintenance of particular tools, then we would love you to come and provide guidance to newcomers. This is a great opportunity to spread knowledge and improve our members' skills.
If you're new to the space, want to help out, want to get to know other members, become more familiar with the space, and maybe learn a few new skills, then this is a great opportunity to do so. Not in formal training sessions, but rather as "learning as a side-effect of working together" type thing.
