Cleaning

Next Cleaning Day

The space needs some cleaning.

On August 4 and 5 we are going to do some cleaning in the space. If would like to help clean your local hackerspace, please come on over. We'll make good use of your time, spend some time working with each other. Maybe we can even swing some refreshments.

If you'd like to add to the list of tasks below, please do.

We'll start around 10:00a each day, but come anytime you can make time. See you soon!

Project and Materials purge

Please note: we will be purging and reclaiming projects and materials in the space. If you are storing anything in the space, this may affect you. See the details below.

1. Project Shelves Purge: If you have projects in the space, make sure they are identified as claimed by you with a date within the last month. Projects on the Project Shelves with a date older than ONE MONTH with no name will be reclaimed for the workshops and hack shelves, or be discarded. Projects on the Project Shelves with a date older than TWO MONTHs with a name will be reclaimed for the workshops and hack shelves, or be discarded.

2. Other Projects and Materials Purge: Elsewhere in in the space, projects and materials labeled with a name and date older than ONE MONTH will be reclaimed for the workshops and hack shelves, or be discarded. As much as possible, projects will be moved to the project shelves.
