== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting to organise volunteers and arrange equipment at some point.<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed. Don't feel paying for food is a compulsory part of village attendance - some folk do self-cater and bring their own cook stuff and EMF organisers usually arrange for a bar and a few catering trailers.<br />

== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />
|-<br />
| Money||Money can buy food and/or beverages<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| Micro USB cables||The EMF badge charges via a micro USB cable and you'll probably want a spare for your phone/kindle/tablet etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />
| Drinks||There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself.<br />
|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Raincoat and Wellies||It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field<br />
|-<br />
| Sun Cream||There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />

[[EMF 2018 Collaboration]] - defunct<br />
<br />
==== EMF 2016 Projects====<br />
<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Contact Mouse if you think you'd like to organise/run BarBot at EMF 2018. <br />
* Fire Pong - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
== Thoughts and Ideas after EMF2016 ==<br />
'''Please put any ideas and thoughts for 2018 here!''' <br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
Please feel free to log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github - I'll try and get round to them before EMF2018 - [[User:Daniel|Daniel]] ([[User talk:Daniel|talk]]) 14:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />
**Can umbrella dispenser be hinged? Can be flipped up to load from behind and dropped for dispensing then<br />
* losing track of the hi-ball glass riser kinda sucked with the flow of operating<br />
** we discovered both kinds of glass could hold the same amount - maybe just rock it with cocktail glasses?<br />
* more human slaves required - this is a good money spinner and worth more members available to serve is better<br />
* one of the mixer taps needs repair and some of the MDF is starting to swell from moisture!<br />
* some sort of status screen might be good?<br />
** Taking the number screen again would be great<br />
* <s>have field on web interface to give a name when ordering - would be so much easier to locate who had what number!</s> - [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/commit/750c588d0a9898f7c4afba8019e98deccdb8af61 Already implemented] and tested on the the last day of EMF 2016<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting to organise volunteers and arrange equipment at some point.<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed. Don't feel paying for food is a compulsory part of village attendance - some folk do self-cater and bring their own cook stuff and EMF organisers usually arrange for a bar and a few catering trailers.<br />

== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent<br />
|-<br />

|-<br />
| Money||Money can buy food and/or beverages<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| Micro USB cables||The EMF badge charges via a micro USB cable and you'll probably want a spare for your phone/kindle/tablet etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />

|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />

|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
== Meetings ==<br />
Minutes of EMF planning meetings to (hopefully) go here.<br />
<br />
== Nottinghack Projects ==<br />
<br />

[[EMF 2018 Collaboration]] - defunct<br />
<br />
==== EMF 2016 Projects====<br />
<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Contact Mouse if you think you'd like to organise/run BarBot at EMF 2018. <br />
* Fire Pong - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
== Thoughts and Ideas after EMF2016 ==<br />
'''Please put any ideas and thoughts for 2018 here!''' <br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
Please feel free to log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github - I'll try and get round to them before EMF2018 - [[User:Daniel|Daniel]] ([[User talk:Daniel|talk]]) 14:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />
**Can umbrella dispenser be hinged? Can be flipped up to load from behind and dropped for dispensing then<br />
* losing track of the hi-ball glass riser kinda sucked with the flow of operating<br />
** we discovered both kinds of glass could hold the same amount - maybe just rock it with cocktail glasses?<br />
* more human slaves required - this is a good money spinner and worth more members available to serve is better<br />
* one of the mixer taps needs repair and some of the MDF is starting to swell from moisture!<br />
* some sort of status screen might be good?<br />
** Taking the number screen again would be great<br />
* <s>have field on web interface to give a name when ordering - would be so much easier to locate who had what number!</s> - [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/commit/750c588d0a9898f7c4afba8019e98deccdb8af61 Already implemented] and tested on the the last day of EMF 2016<br />

<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />
|-<br />
| Money||Money can buy food and/or beverages<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| Micro USB cables||The EMF badge charges via a micro USB cable and you'll probably want a spare for your phone/kindle/tablet etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />
| Drinks||There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself.<br />
|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Raincoat and Wellies||It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field<br />
|-<br />
| Sun Cream||There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />

<br />
==== EMF 2016 Projects====<br />
<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Contact Mouse if you think you'd like to organise/run BarBot at EMF 2018. <br />
* Fire Pong - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
== Thoughts and Ideas after EMF2016 ==<br />
'''Please put any ideas and thoughts for 2018 here!''' <br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
Please feel free to log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github - I'll try and get round to them before EMF2018 - [[User:Daniel|Daniel]] ([[User talk:Daniel|talk]]) 14:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />
**Can umbrella dispenser be hinged? Can be flipped up to load from behind and dropped for dispensing then<br />
* losing track of the hi-ball glass riser kinda sucked with the flow of operating<br />
** we discovered both kinds of glass could hold the same amount - maybe just rock it with cocktail glasses?<br />
* more human slaves required - this is a good money spinner and worth more members available to serve is better<br />
* one of the mixer taps needs repair and some of the MDF is starting to swell from moisture!<br />
* some sort of status screen might be good?<br />
** Taking the number screen again would be great<br />
* <s>have field on web interface to give a name when ordering - would be so much easier to locate who had what number!</s> - [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/commit/750c588d0a9898f7c4afba8019e98deccdb8af61 Already implemented] and tested on the the last day of EMF 2016<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting to organise volunteers and arrange equipment at some point.<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed. Don't feel paying for food is a compulsory part of village attendance - some folk do self-cater and bring their own cook stuff and EMF organisers usually arrange for a bar and a few catering trailers.<br />

===Overall===<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting to organise volunteers and arrange equipment at some point.<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed. Don't feel paying for food is a compulsory part of village attendance - some folk do self-cater and bring their own cook stuff and EMF organisers usually arrange for a bar and a few catering trailers.<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (EMF2016 we brought BarBot, Snackspace and Fire Pong) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting to organise volunteers and arrange equipment at some point.<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed.<br />

[[EMF 2018 Collaboration]]<br />
<br />
==== EMF 2016 Projects====<br />
<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Contact Mouse if you think you'd like to organise/run BarBot at EMF 2018. <br />
* Fire Pong - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
== Thoughts and Ideas after EMF2016 ==<br />
'''Please put any ideas and thoughts for 2018 here!''' <br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
Please feel free to log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github - I'll try and get round to them before EMF2018 - [[User:Daniel|Daniel]] ([[User talk:Daniel|talk]]) 14:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />
**Can umbrella dispenser be hinged? Can be flipped up to load from behind and dropped for dispensing then<br />
* losing track of the hi-ball glass riser kinda sucked with the flow of operating<br />
** we discovered both kinds of glass could hold the same amount - maybe just rock it with cocktail glasses?<br />
* more human slaves required - this is a good money spinner and worth more members available to serve is better<br />

<br />
==== EMF 2016 Projects====<br />
<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse and volunteers ran BarBot. It was a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. They needed at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Contact Mouse if you think you'd like to organise/run BarBot at EMF 2018. <br />
* Fire Pong - Nottinghack collaboration resulting in an attraction involving fire, giant ping pong bats and 1-D pong. Enormously popular.<br />
<br />
== Thoughts and Ideas after EMF2016 ==<br />
'''Please put any ideas and thoughts for 2018 here!''' <br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />

* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />

== Attendees ==<br />
<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (last year we did BarBot and Snackspace) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting closer to Christmas!<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed.<br />

== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some ideas of things you might want to bring with you.<br />
<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />
|-<br />
| Teacup||Having your own teacup you can re-use will help us out<br />
|-<br />
| Medication||Bring your own pain killers/hangover cures, we do not supply this! First aiders will be on site.<br />
|-<br />
| Camping Chairs||Chairs have been ordered for village use, bring your own to guarantee a place to sit and for your own tent.<br />
|-<br />
| Long Ethernet cable||If you want ethernet in your tent<br />
|-<br />
| Micro USB cables||The EMF badge charges via a micro USB cable and you'll probably want a spare for your phone/kindle/tablet etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Torch||It gets dark at night<br />
|-<br />
| Rubber Mallet||To help put up your own tent and others<br />
|-<br />
| Drinks||There is a bar but you might want to bring spirits or other drinks for yourself.<br />
|-<br />
| Snacks||To keep your going between meals<br />
|-<br />
| Toiletries||Stuff to wash with, towels, toothbrush etc.<br />
|-<br />
| Raincoat and Wellies||It will probably rain at some point and it's in a field<br />
|-<br />
| Sun Cream||There might be sun at some point and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Bug Spray||It's near water and some people have tasty blood<br />
|-<br />
| Jumpers, Jacket and Hoodies||It will be cold at night and you'll be outdoors<br />
|-<br />
| Painkillers || E.g. Paracetamol/Ibuprofen. Some people get ill, some get hangovers. These are cheap, small and occasionally necessary.<br />

<br />
== Thoughts and Ideas after EMF2016 ==<br />
'''Please put any ideas and thoughts for 2018 here!''' <br />
<br />
===Overall===<br />
* MORE NOTTINGHACK FLAGS AND STUFF<br />
* Bring more bottle openers<br />
* If we keep doing big stuff like snackspace and barbot, may as well just hire a 6x6 tent to have both inside, away from our village kit.<br />
** Also extra room for storage too.<br />
<br />
===Snackspace===<br />
* Expanded range; crisps, energy bars, non-fizzy drinks, fruit<br />
* Overall worked really well<br />
* Better signage<br />
* Ensure whatever card payment method we use has its own dedicated gps (to avoid thinking we're in Holland because of the wifi)<br />
** Cheap/unused android phone as a dedicated device? Frees up the Fire even more then.<br />
* 2x boxes of cola bottles sold out fast - recommend 3 at least<br />
* Dedicated fridge for drinks was v successful<br />
* Hand sanitizer - lots<br />
<br />
===Barbot===<br />
Please feel free to log any software improvements/fixes that might help as [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/issues issues] on github - I'll try and get round to them before EMF2018 - [[User:Daniel|Daniel]] ([[User talk:Daniel|talk]]) 14:09, 10 August 2016 (UTC)<br />
* People fucking love some robo-cocktails<br />
* Better signage - pre-print and laminate some signs with instructions / address at the hackspace<br />
* HS2.5 Badge rewards for donating worked really well<br />
* Make sure Kindle Fire is charged!<br />
* Grenadine gets ''everywhere''<br />
* Background music on final day worked well <br />
* Enough lighting to avoid having to use fluorescent lights (fairy lights were good)<br />
** Cheap RGB strips? Could even wire them up to respond to music<br />
* Grenadine syringe refill is tedious - "''there has to be a better way!''" - need to look into this<br />
* better dasher refill technique needed - there's a hole in the top of each bottle so let's use it!<br />
* umbrella in every drink - it's the final flourish and the disappointment of the users was evident - could require a wider hi-ball glass or more adjustable brolly dropper<br />
* cherry conveyor was rarely working - way sticky - needs a teardown and clean and the cherries need rinsing before adding<br />
** Also something to make the belt a bit grippier - little cocktail stick sections glued on the outside?<br />
* also the ability to load more cherries (and other consumables) from behind barbot would have a better effect<br />
* our working layout was spoiling the automation wonder effect - having a human slave carry a glass to the far end of the track - being able to add a glass from the other end and preferably from behind barbot would be better.<br />
**For 2014 we had the optics end against one tent wall and the 'loading' end free - this is probably the optimal layout for now (unless we change how stuff is loaded)<br />
**Can umbrella dispenser be hinged? Can be flipped up to load from behind and dropped for dispensing then<br />
* losing track of the hi-ball glass riser kinda sucked with the flow of operating<br />
** we discovered both kinds of glass could hold the same amount - maybe just rock it with cocktail glasses?<br />
* more human slaves required - this is a good money spinner and worth more members available to serve is better<br />
* one of the mixer taps needs repair and some of the MDF is starting to swell from moisture!<br />
* some sort of status screen might be good?<br />
** Taking the number screen again would be great<br />
* <s>have field on web interface to give a name when ordering - would be so much easier to locate who had what number!</s> - [https://github.com/NottingHack/BarBot/commit/750c588d0a9898f7c4afba8019e98deccdb8af61 Already implemented] and tested on the the last day of EMF 2016<br />

<br />
Every year, we go as a big group and set up the Nottingham Hackspace village. We offer something to EMF attendees (last year we did BarBot and Snackspace) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting closer to Christmas!<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed.<br />

We offer something to EMF attendees (last year we did BarBot and Snackspace) and we also combine our resources to feed us all for the three days. There is obviously a cost to this, and last year we split this - £20 for food, £10 for the village, per person<br />
<br />
If you are interested in joining the village for 2018, please fill in the table below - we'll need to have a proper planning meeting closer to Christmas!<br />
<br />
Food has yet to be arranged (usually a few people volunteer to organise communal meals for the weekend) but do express an interest if you think you would like to be fed.<br />

<div>= Introduction =<br />
This page contains a list of materials that can be cut or engraved on the 'NEW' Nottinghack A0 laser cutter from Just Add Sharks, along with information on cutting speeds and power settings. There is a more complete list of materials pinned above the laser computer, although you should be aware that this list does not contain every material known to man, so will be incomplete. If you are uncertain as to whether a material is safe to use, first look up it's material safety data sheet (MSDS), which should be available online, and/or ask on the Google Group or #laser channel on the Nottinghack Slack.<br />
<br />
You can see a reasonably complete list of what is laser safe [http://www.cutlasercut.com/laser-cutting-materials-laser-engraving-materials here] and [http://www.atxhackerspace.org/wiki/Laser_Cutter_Materials here].<br />
<br />
There is usually a small supply of laser-safe perspex (acrylic), mdf and ply available for sale next to the laser cutter, up to 600x400mm in size. A wider selection of sizes, colours and thicknesses is available online, although the stock in the 'space is sourced from [https://www.kitronik.co.uk/ Kitronic], who are based near the Wilkinson Street tram stop/park and ride. <br />
<br />
The values on this page have been tested, but are '''guidelines'''. Always stay with the laser when it is running, and use your common sense!<br />

<hr />
<div>* Fall out from James H's "It's my time" post to the google group<br />
* Improving member behaviour / involvement:<br />
** What is the root problem? Many things listed are most likely symptoms of that problem, but have become problems in their own right?<br />
** Things suggested on the list: <br />
*** being clearer to new members that there are expectations of them<br />
*** chores list<br />
*** more / improved shadow boards<br />
*** better labelling of where stuff goes (we made progress for a while, but it needs to be kept on top of<br />
*** possibly running new member induction days. Will be a PITA, but might be worthwhile<br />
<br />
[[User:Mousetad|Mouse]] ([[User talk:Mousetad|talk]]) 18:39, 4 September 2016 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Following on from mouse on improving member behaviours:<br />
* Care of workshop machines.<br />
** Victims of broken window syndrome?<br />
*** Certain machines seem to suffer unduly.<br />
**** Bandsaw Blade breakage, esp. Metalwork Startrite<br />
***** Lower Guide missing and upper guide faulty on baby Startrite, Axminster sell ready made upgrade set.<br />
**** Bandsaws, Drills and Myford seem to receive almost no regular after-use cleaning.<br />
***** Hackspace machinery code of practice?<br />
****** '''Safety''', ''Cleaning'' and reporting damage - emphasised as above all other things, '''in that order'''.<br />
** A number of anecdotal horror stories surfaced this week.<br />
** Most non-induction machines are poorly documented, yet may be unfamiliar to many members.<br />
*** Concerted effort to update the Wiki<br />
*** Signboard for each machine including PPE suggested, link to wiki page or print-out user instructions and small whiteboard.<br />
** Lots of '''"Noise"''' RE: tool maintenance on the group recently, ''as far as I can tell'' most day to day tasks and some major repairs actually happening very rapidly.<br />
*** Finding a volunteer to build lathe motor-mount? (See [[User:Dclarke|Dclarke]] ([[User talk:Dclarke|talk]]))<br />
*** Should we recruit more maintainers and/or define them like the laser team has...<br />
<br />
[[User:Jelly|Jelly]] ([[User talk:Jelly|talk]]) 18:24, 5 September 2016 (UTC)<br />
<br />
* How we 'do' PPE<br />
** Most of the decent safety glasses are missing, those that remain are dirty, buried under stuff or both.<br />
*** Doors on PPE shelves to at least keep stuff clean.<br />
** Make/buy simple PPE storage boxes to be sited at the point of use, with a permanently marked set of required items in each box.<br />
** Buy slightly more expensive but better PPE.<br />
**** Compatibility of eye and ear protection is an issue.<br />
**** Most glasses are not adjustable and ill fitting for most users.<br />
*** Easy to adjust, comfy PPE that "''just works''" is much more likely to be used and cared for.<br />
** Mark Cambridge slack suggestion<br />
*** Slightly nicer "personal" PPE available in vending machine?<br />
*** Bigger items Ear-Defenders, Visor - Issued on request by safety team for one person to care for.<br />

<div><br />
== Induction on the laser Cutter/Engraver ==<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is only available to Nottinghack members and an induction is required before it can be used. Previous experience of laser cutters is an advantage but not essential. Laser inductions are one-on-one sessions, cost £20 and last up to an hour. Your inductor will cover a few techniques, the care and maintenance of the machine, materials, software and safe useage, whilst determining that you can safely operate the laser. '''To book an induction please fill in [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11Cn8Y4vmnWjj7TVxJYkPtvR0fjt5seOK-RPwSN4DbQA this form]''' <br />
<br />
A team of people will be conducting induction sessions in their own spare time, so it cannot be guaranteed that someone will always be available.<br />
<br />
You may bring a small laser project if you wish though you must [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_engraving#Materials_that_can_be_engraved check that your materials are suitable for a laser cutting or etching]. <br />
<br />
If you get chance it would be worth installing and becoming familiar with the [[Laser cutter/LaserCut|LaserCut]] software; you can use the demo and [[Laser cutter/Inkscape|Inkscape]] to create projects before you do an induction.<br />
<br />
=== Induction Program ===<br />
<br />
If you have a small project in mind we can use it as part of the induction but please check that the materials you have in mind are suitable for use in the laser - the wrong materials can cause noxious fumes that can permanently damage the mirrors or extraction system (or you); running the tube too hot drastically shortens it's lifespan. The induction is primarily to make sure that the laser is operated safely, to keep costs low. A spare laser tube costs in the region of £400, a new set of mirrors £250 - the hackspace can't afford to be replacing these every month!<br />
<br />
The induction will include:<br />
<br />
* Setting up and switching on safely <br />
* Testing alignment of the laser <br />
* Introduction to the cutting software <br />
* Setting up your XY axis, placing your work piece and checking the draw frame<br />
* Engraving<br />
* Cutting<br />
* Suitable file types and how to convert them<br />
* Shutting down<br />
<br />

<br />
Please do not contact people on this list directly, '''please fill in [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11Cn8Y4vmnWjj7TVxJYkPtvR0fjt5seOK-RPwSN4DbQA this form]'''. One of the inductors will contact you to arrange a date and time, but it would help if you say when you are/are not available. Inductors do not have access to the hackspace database for sensible reasons - so if you don't email they won't be able to contact you. <br />

You may bring a small laser project if you wish though you must [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_engraving#Materials_that_can_be_engraved check that your materials are suitable for a laser cutting or etching]. <br />
<br />
If you get chance it would be worth installing and becoming familiar with the [[Laser cutter/LaserCut|LaserCut]] software; you can use the demo and [[Laser cutter/Inkscape|Inkscape]] to create projects before you do an induction.<br />
<br />
=== Induction Program ===<br />
<br />
If you have a small project in mind we can use it as part of the induction but please check that the materials you have in mind are suitable for use in the laser - the wrong materials can cause noxious fumes that can permanently damage the mirrors or extraction system (or you); running the tube too hot drastically shortens it's lifespan. The induction is primarily to make sure that the laser is operated safely, to keep costs low. A spare laser tube costs in the region of £400, a new set of mirrors £250 - the hackspace can't afford to be replacing these every month!<br />
<br />
The induction will include:<br />
<br />
* Setting up and switching on safely <br />
* Testing alignment of the laser <br />
* Introduction to the cutting software <br />
* Setting up your XY axis, placing your work piece and checking the draw frame<br />
* Engraving<br />
* Cutting<br />
* Suitable file types and how to convert them<br />
* Shutting down<br />

== Induction on the laser Cutter/Engraver ==<br />
<br />
A team of people will be conducting induction sessions for Nottinghack members on the laser cutter/engraver at Nottingham Hackspace. The instructors will be undertaking these sessions in their own spare time, so it cannot be guaranteed that someone will always be available.<br />
<br />
Laser inductions are one-on-one sessions. You may bring a small laser project if you wish though you must [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_engraving#Materials_that_can_be_engraved check that your materials are suitable for a laser cutting or etching]. Otherwise your instructor will talk you through a few techniques, to demonstrate the process whilst determining that you can safely operate the laser. Inductions cost £20 and as of Tuesday 1st July 2014 apply to all inductees.

<br />
Last year many of the attendees from Nottinghack each put in some money (around £20 each) to have cooked meals provided for the setup and the entire weekend. Sophie has kindly volunteered to to do this again for EMF 2016, the cost has not been decided yet and may be slightly more than last year to buy some better quality ingredients but if you're interested please mark the '''Food''' column with '''Yes''' so we can get an idea of how many to cater for.<br />

== What to Bring ==<br />
Here are some idea on what to bring with you.<br />
<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable sortable"<br />
|-<br />
! Item !! Reason<br />
|-<br />
| Decent quality long extension lead||If you want power to your tent<br />
|-<br />
| 4-way extension lead or similar||Plugs will be limited, bring to ensure you have enough for your devices<br />

== Planning ==<br />
<br />
* Lots of conversation on [https://nottinghack.slack.com/messages/emf/ Slack]<br />
<br />
==== Meetings ====<br />
* [[EMF 2016 Meeting 2015-07-29]]<br />
* [[EMF 2016 Meeting 2015-12-10]]<br />
<br />
== Nottinghack Projects ==<br />
<br />
If you're planning to do a project to take to EMF 2016 and might want to collaborate with others or group together for transport etc, please consider adding a page to this section.<br />
<br />
* [[BarBot EMF 2016|BarBot]] - Mouse is looking for volunteers to run BarBot. It's a lot of work, but a lot of fun too. We need at least three people during the event and one coordinator/planner pre- and during the event. Unpaid, but maybe you get a T-shirt. Contact Mouse if you'd like to be involved. <br />
* [[Pedal Powered Bad Movie Night EMF 2016|Pedal Powered Bad Movie Night]], if Doc little is interested in setting it up!<br />
* [[Giant knitting]], as per [http://gingkopress.com/shop/the-manly-art-of-knitting/ The Manly Art of Knitting]<br />
<br />
==== Restrictions ====<br />
<br />
* Fire installations (propane puffers and such) '''are''' welcome, although all fire stuff must be raised off the ground to avoid turf damage.<br />
* Vehicles (art cars and such) are still be be decided by EMF org. Maybe in a separated are away from general camping.<br />
<br />
== Transport ==<br />
<br />
==== Option 1: Van Hire ====<br />
<br />
* Quote for Luton van hire for Wed before event to Tue after from [http://wattsvanhire.co.uk/ Watts Van Hire, Radford]: "£360.00inc plus £250.00 credit/debit card refundable deposit, includes 1000 miles 20p per mile thereafter."<br />
* Needs a driver able to do van pickup and drop off<br />
* Con: It's sort of a pain in the butt<br />
* Pro: Probably cheapest way to do it for lots of stuff<br />
* Pro: Known quantity - we've done it before<br />
<br />
==== Option 2: Commercial Palletised ====<br />
* Pallet loads are a standard size (length=1m, width=1.2m height=1.8m)<br />
* You can do half height (0.9m) or 'quarter' height (0.6m) ones too, but need to make sure they can have more pallets stacked on top, which could be real heavy!<br />
* Packing quality is importart. Load must stay within footprint of pallet, withstand transport jolts & movement and be weatherproof<br />
* Approx cost for 1 x full height pallets to EMF site from the space: £50-£75 +VAT for economy (2 day) delivery<br />
* Easy quotes here (probably not the cheapest): http://bit.ly/1LzYUzN<br />
* Pro: Scalable - we only pay for what we use, and with more money we can take a crazy amount of stuff for basically the same amount of effort<br />
* Pro: Easy - pick up from space, drop at site (there is an EMF staging are for deliveries)<br />
* Con: Probably more expensive than a van<br />
* Con: Have to arrange time for pickup/drop off and have people at the space to handle it<br />

Be sure to create an account on the [https://wiki.emfcamp.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_Field_2016 Electromagnetic Field Wiki] and add yourself to the [https://wiki.emfcamp.org/wiki/Village:Nottinghack Nottingham Hackspace Village] page.<br />
<br />
Last year many of the attendees from Nottinghack each put in some money (around £20 each) to have cooked meals provided for the setup and the entire weekend. Sophie has kindly volunteered to to do this again for EMF 2016, the cost has not been decided yet and may be slightly more than last year to buy some better quality ingredients but if you're interested please mark the '''Food''' column with '''Yes''' so we can get an idea of how many to cater for.<br />

* [[Giant knitting]], as per [http://gingkopress.com/shop/the-manly-art-of-knitting/ The Manly Art of Knitting]<br />
<br />
==== Restrictions ====<br />
<br />
* Fire installations (propane puffers and such) '''are''' welcome, although all fire stuff must be raised off the ground to avoid turf damage.<br />
* Vehicles (art cars and such) are still be be decided by EMF org. Maybe in a separated are away from general camping.<br />
<br />
== Transport ==<br />
<br />
==== Option 1: Van Hire ====<br />
<br />
* Quote for Luton van hire for Wed before event to Tue after from [http://wattsvanhire.co.uk/ Watts Van Hire, Radford]: "£360.00inc plus £250.00 credit/debit card refundable deposit, includes 1000 miles 20p per mile thereafter."<br />
* Needs a driver able to do van pickup and drop off<br />
* Con: It's sort of a pain in the butt<br />
* Pro: Probably cheapest way to do it for lots of stuff<br />
* Pro: Known quantity - we've done it before<br />
<br />
==== Option 2: Commercial Palletised ====<br />
* Pallet loads are a standard size (length=1m, width=1.2m height=1.8m)<br />
* You can do half height (0.9m) or 'quarter' height (0.6m) ones too, but need to make sure they can have more pallets stacked on top, which could be real heavy!<br />
* Packing quality is importart. Load must stay within footprint of pallet, withstand transport jolts & movement and be weatherproof<br />
* Approx cost for 1 x full height pallets to EMF site from the space: £50-£75 +VAT for economy (2 day) delivery<br />
* Easy quotes here (probably not the cheapest): http://bit.ly/1LzYUzN<br />
* Pro: Scalable - we only pay for what we use, and with more money we can take a crazy amount of stuff for basically the same amount of effort<br />
* Pro: Easy - pick up from space, drop at site (there is an EMF staging are for deliveries)<br />
* Con: Probably more expensive than a van<br />
* Con: Have to arrange time for pickup/drop off and have people at the space to handle it<br />
<br />
== Link to interesting things ==<br />
<br />
* [http://www.spontaneousfire.com/TOD_firecannons.htm Fire puffers design]<br />
** Similar idea, smaller scale, but with a good build log: [https://youtu.be/ypIGeNdJbJ4 build], [https://youtu.be/D5_ogU4Jzt4 demo].<br />

== Misc other ideas ==<br />

<hr />
<div>We have a few of our own Hackspace Units (HI) that can be used at the space.<br />
<br />
=== OA - Outstretched Arms ===<br />
A measurement of length, roughly equivalent to the the average height of a hacker.<br />
<br />
=== B/m2 - Bums per Meter square ===<br />
A measurement of efficiency, used to tell how effectively chairs and sofas use our finite floor space.<br />
<br />
=== SF - Severed Finger ===<br />
A handy unit of length measurement used to specify safe parameters for power tool usage.<br />
<br />
=== DD - Ding Dong ===<br />
A ding dong is one full turn of the power knob on Dominic's HPC LS-3020.<br />
<br />
=== Rb - Rabbit ===<br />
Can be used as a representative of weight, length or as a curse. <br />

All members, no matter how remote, will be able to vote. You will receive an email to your registered email address after the AGM.<br />
<br />
We are also looking for a returning officer to set up and handle the OPA vote system for the election. If you are interested in volunteering, please email trustees@nottinghack.org.uk by '''23:59 on 20th May'''.<br />
<br />
There are four open trustee slots, and the following members have put themselves forward to be trustees.<br />

| I think that the Hackspace is at a really interesting time in its growth. More and more members are treating the space as a service rather than a club, and this presents us with a number of challenges to overcome; from simply keeping the place clean to ensuring that the right tools are in the space and are easy and safe to use. I think the work that has happened over the last 6-9 months has started us on a track to becoming a much better set up organisation, and I look forward to taking that to the next level.<br />

| I've been a member at Nottinghack for around two years, during which time I've seen our space go through a lot of great changes from fancy new tools to lots of new people. Considering the sheer amount I've gotten from the Hackspace in skills, new interests and great friends, I'd love to give some time back. Becoming a Trustee means I can help support Nottinghack to become even better known in our community of Makers and doers, and improve our space for members new and old.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading, I'll see you all at the AGM if not before! <br />

| Hello! My name is Sophie and I've been a member of the Hackspace for about 16 months now. I'm running for Trustee because I feel that I've worked towards a large number of improvements in the 'space over the last 12 months and think even more progress can be made with me as a Trustee.<br />
<br />
Over the past 12 months I have:<br />
<br />
* regenerated Snackspace along with Rob, bringing us up to date with actual stats on how much is sold each month, as well as bringing healthier snacks into the vending machine and creating an email address members can use to request what they want and give us feedback. I've also 'created' team Snackspace, ensuring there's always holiday cover and nobody is stuck for a drink during the summer. I trialed the purchase of regular Club Mate, which proved to be a resounding success, hopefully leading to us bringing a steady stream into the space in the future.<br />
* revamped the Craft Room, and after our big spend led a successful pledge for new Advanced & Beginner Sewing machines and kept the area clean, tidy and clutter free for members.<br />
* made the Large Project Storage more fit for purpose, through regular audits and removal of ancient or unlabelled projects, keeping members up to date with the storage issues and reminding them of the processes we have in place to keep the storage accessible to as many people as possible<br />
* been a key part of the membership team, including writing our first ever scope and job description, updating the tour guide and being on hand to offer tours almost every Wednesday, as well as auditing the membership team itself and bringing us up to date.<br />
* Along with the laser team, developed and introduced the new Laser Maintenance system, and the laser maintainers, which will ensure regular, scheduled maintenance of the Laser and the 3D printer so the large tools that are integral to the space are up, running and working as permanently as is possible. I've also future proofed this system, meaning if we can or choose to bring other tools online, we can do so. We've also developed a new system for laser/3D printer inductions, which should be launching pre-AGM, which will allow us better communication with members so people aren't left waiting for a response to an email for weeks at a time.<br />
* and finally, cooked for 25 Nottinghacker's at EMF 2015!<br />
<br />
I hope the above show that I am keen to help the Hackspace move forward and progress, and believe that my eye for detail, love of processes and persistent attitude towards organisation show I would make a great Trustee and an asset to the team.<br />
<br />
|-<br />
| [[File:RHunt_2015_Trustee.jpg|125px]]<br />'''[http://wiki.nottinghack.org.uk/wiki/User:Robert Rob Hunt]''' <br />
| Hi! I'm Rob and I've been a member of Nottinghack for nearly two and a half years. Over this time I've seen the membership rocket and the space adapt to changing needs. By becoming a Trustee I feel that I can help progress the development of the space.<br />
<br />
Below are a few things I've been involved with so far as a member of the space:<br />
<br />
* I helped run the successful pledge drive for the Ultimaker 3D printer, which I then assembled with several other members and is now available for use in the studio.<br />
* I have been involved with several public events showcasing Nottinghack and spreading the word including Newcastle and Derby Maker Faires, EMF Camp 2014, and the Nottingham Library.<br />
* I am a member of the Snackspace team, helping to ensure that the vending machine and fridge are kept fully stocked with a large variety of products.<br />
* I have been involved with some highly successful 'hack the space' days such as re-organising the workshop and revamping the comfy area and studio. I hope to get more members involved with these in the future by helping to come up with organised plans for the day. <br />
<br />
I believe that I will make a valuable contribution as a member of the trustee team.<br />

| As a founding member and long standing trustee of the Hackspace over the past five years I’ve enjoyed being a part of the hackspace from our start as just meetings in a pub to the massive space and membership we now have.<br />
We are now starting to have to up our game in many areas due to the sheer size of the membership and the different ways in which new members are now using the space. <br />
The hackspace is still continuing to grow and evolve and I’d very much like to continue helping the space grow. <br />
<br />
As a members and trustee over the past years I have:<br />
* Looked after are financial accounts and budgeting. <br />
* Working on the core infrastructure of the space, from upgrading the electrics to fixing the plumbing.<br />
* Member of the Network and Servers team, we keep internet working and the websites online.<br />
* Member of the Instrumentation team, we built Gatekeeper and the tools access RFID systems in the space.<br />
* Setting up and looking after Metal working area including care of the Myford Lathe, Bridgeport Mill and welding equipment<br />
* Attending external events in support of promoting Nottinghack, such as Maker Faire’s and EMF Camp<br />

<div>[[File:A0 laser cutter.jpg|thumb|675px]]<br />
== A0 Laser Cutter ==<br />
<br />
The Hackspace held a successful pledge drive and purchased an A0 laser cutter from Just Add Sharks early 2014, which was installed later that year in May. The project information related to that is [[New_Laser_Cutter_Project_2014|available on the wiki]] if you are interested in the decision making and pledge drive.<br />
<br />
=== Inductions and Training ===<br />
<br />
You need to have had [[/Inductions|an induction]] on the laser cutter to use it; this costs £20. Only inducted Nottinghack members are authorised to use the machine; it is not available for use by the public. Once inducted you will have 24/7 access to the laser and be able to use the online booking system through HMS.<br />
<br />
If you have not been inducted, please do not attempt to use the laser yourself or borrow someone's card. You may, however, offer to run the laser for someone else, but you will be responsible for anything that may go wrong.<br />
<br />
=== Usage ===<br />
<br />
You need your [[Nhtools|RFID access card]] to use the machine. RFID cards will only work if they have been activated during a laser induction. Please do not let other people borrow your card; you will be held responsible if anything goes wrong - and of course the usage charges would be applied to your account balance!<br />
<br />
A booking system for people who have had an induction is available on [[HMS]] which also allows you to track laser time against your Nottinghack budget - it can go up to £20 in debt and you are emailed with instructions on how to pay it off. No money can be taken at the machine itself.<br />
<br />
=== Costs ===<br />
<br />
The A0 laser cutter costs £3 per hour; it will be charged per penny. Your normal HMS account can be used to track and pay for this up to the limit of £20, or credit added in advance using methods in the space. Note that the laser won't turn off when you reach your limit but you won't be able to put your card on the laser to turn it on again.<br />
<br />
Anyone who pledged will have been given their pledge amount in laser credit (separate from the costs for vending machine items or other things).<br />
<br />
The charge is to encourage users to prepare their files in advance to keep the unit as free as possible. Money paid will contribute towards the provision of laser-related supplies such as replacement laser tubes and lenses. A booking system is in progress to sort booking slots on the laser for up to 2 hours at a time.<br />
<br />
For guidelines these are the costs over an hour, since larger jobs can take a long time especially if engraving.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
=== Problems===<br />
Remember, it's always worth trying a test-cut before attempting to cut something - a small circle or square can be drawn in LaserCut5.3 if necessary.<br />
<br />
If the laser isn't cutting cleanly (and your settings are correct), check the focus with the guide. It should be at or slightly (e.g. 1mm) inside your material. If you're cutting 6mm or thicker, you may need a second pass. In this case it may be worth raising the bed, but usually not.<br />
<br />
Should anything go drastically wrong, the first people to speak to should be the laser inductors. They can be contacted in person or via email (laser[at]nottinghack[dot]org[dot]uk). <br />
<br />
Occasionally someone will report a "Soft Stop". At present there is no definition for this, but is usually considered to be the laser attempting to cut unsuccessfully before the head resets to datum. <br />
<br />
First, check the file you are trying to cut is within the laser-bed simulation in LaserCut. You can zoom out using the wheel on the mouse or by holding Ctrl and pressing + or -. If the drawing is not within the boundary, move it to within the boundary. If it doesn't fit, you can't cut it as it is too large. You need to break it down into smaller parts. <br />
<br />
If this does not help, the following is a suggestion of what might be done to alleviate a problem:<br />
<br />
# Close LaserCut5.3<br />
# Switch the laser cutter off (removing your RFID card and allowing the machine to shut down is fine)<br />
# Reset LaserCut5.3 to factory settings<br />
# If possible, re-save your file in whichever program it was created in<br />
# Open LaserCut5.3 and reimport file<br />
# Switch the laser cutter back on<br />
# Open the Download window in Lasercut5.3 and clear any files (Delete all). Next, "Download Config file". If successful, the laser will emit a second-long "beeeep". Otherwise, close and reopen the download window and try again.<br />
# Upload your file to the Laser cutter and try again<br />
<br />
If the suggestion above does not work, try repeating the process with a different file (e.g. different size, date made, program made in etc.)<br />
<br />
=== Software ===<br />
<br />
==== Inkscape ====<br />
<br />
[[/Inkscape|Inkscape]] is one of the most useful SVG tools and available for free on any platform (the Mac version however is hard to install). The [[/Inkscape|help here on the wiki]] shows the best export settings and the different tools that help create a perfect laser cut file to import!<br />
<br />
==== Adobe Illustrator ====<br />
<br />
[[/Illustrator|Illustrator]] by Adobe is a high-end paid-for vector graphics software tool. The Laser Cut program will import Adobe Illustrator files (given certain save options - no compression!). The main issue is that the Laser Cut program doesn't seem to export colour, but DXF export is still available - use R14 settings, but we had some issues testing this.<br />
<br />
There will be some notes (as to settings, such as using mm sizes!) and screenshots of save settings in the future. If you can help please contact Andrew Armstrong for a session of testing.<br />
<br />
Notes: When designing in Illustrator work in millimetres as your unit. On export as DXF, select AUTOCAD Version: R14/LT98/LT97. The artwork scale will show 1mm = 1Unit(s). Change the unit from millimetres to points. The scale should now read 2.8346 points = 1 Unit(s). See the screenshots below.<br />

==== Draftsight ====<br />
<br />
[http://www.3ds.com/products-services/draftsight/overview/ Draftsight] is a free suite of software that can plan out diagrams, and save to DXF format. More information to come. It runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.<br />
<br />
==== LaserCut 5.3 ====<br />
<br />
The main software is [[/LaserCut|LaserCut 5.3]] - this can be used on a local machine and items saved ready to send to the laser later. For large engraves the calculation times can be up to an hour.<br />
<br />
See the [[/LaserCut/Install|installation instructions]] using the software.<br />
<br />
There is also a [[/LaserCut/Usage|page of basic information and tips]] available too. [[/LaserCut/Tutorials|Tutorials]] also to follow!<br />

<br />
=== Hardware ===<br />
<br />
There is a Windows 7 PC connected to the laser cutter via a blue USB cable, you will also be able to connect your own computer if you want via the USB cable; this allows you to use whatever software to export the laser compatible files quickly.<br />
<br />
=== Laser Cutter Setup ===<br />
<br />
Subpage for the setup to use the laser cutter here. Also helps identify if there are issues with the laser or cooling system and what to do (ie; mainly stop using it and tell someone!).<br />
<br />
=== Laser Cutter Cleaning ===<br />
This may be maintenance team only. <br />
<br />
'''Note:''' Do not attempt to remove the honeycomb alone. It is too large, heavy and flexible.<br />
<br />
Currently there are no guidelines on how to clean the laser, although users are encouraged to remove as much debris as possible after use. If necessary it may be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or brush and surfaces may be cleaned with blue roll and acetate (nail polish remover). Do not attempt to clean the mirrors; if you think they require cleaning please report this to the laser inductors (laser[at]nottinghack[dot]org[dot]uk).<br />

<br />
You can have a look at what [[/Materials|materials work well]] on the laser at what settings, and where to [[/Materials/Buying|buy materials]].<br />
<br />
Note that a set of standardised laser cutter materials is being looked into, which will be kept in stock by the hackspace to lower the barriers to using the machine. A standard list will be produced here once stocks are sourced.<br />
<br />
Main laser materials are wood, certain plastics and paper. Other materials may work, depending on what they are made of. Please note however that the laser cutter will not cut metal. You can see a reasonably complete list of what is laser safe [http://www.cutlasercut.com/laser-cutting-materials-laser-engraving-materials here] and [http://www.atxhackerspace.org/wiki/Laser_Cutter_Materials here] and a list is also kept on the whiteboard next to the desktop PC.<br />
<br />
=== Laser Cutter Maintenance ===<br />
<br />
Currently there is not a list of members who can maintain the machine (clean and align mirrors, swap tube etc.). Please do not attempt to do this without guidance from someone who does know; for the time being, please report any problems to the laser inductors email.<br />
<br />
Replacing the major machine parts will be documented with photos when this is undertaken for the first time.<br />
