We are holding a Hack the Space weekend from 18:00 on Friday 8th February till 18:00 Sunday 10th February (some jobs starting at 13:00). '''During this time no normal project work will be happening.''' It's all hands on deck improving our space!
We held a Hack the Space weekend from 18:00 on Friday 8th February to 18:00 Sunday 10th February (some jobs starting at 13:00). It was all hands on deck improving our space! This wiki page was intended to detail exactly what needed doing so that we were all working towards the same goals. Now that the weekend is over, this page shows what we were working on and our progress.
Many thanks to the many people who gave their time to make this a success.
Our Hackspace is only as great as our members make it, so please join us. Regardless of if you can only spend 30 minutes or the whole weekend at the space; during this time any, and all, help will be greatly appreciated.
This wiki page is interactive and is intended to detail exactly what needs doing so that we're all working towards the same goals. If you know of anything that needs fixing or looking at, feel free to add it to the list! In theory, someone could turn up at 3 am and complete some jobs off this list without anyone there to tell them what to do. You will see the page gradually change as the weekend progresses as more teams & members populate it.

As many are aware the studio flooring is in desperate need of replacement after many years of surviving. I think for 2019 it is time for new flooring. During this time we will also be resetting LPS (Large Project Storage). Below are some of the jobs if you are interested in helping out

Portable appliance testing needs to be carried out to bring us in line with safety regulations. This job will be starting on Saturday. It is simple to do and needs no special skills beyond being able to properly use and read the test equipment. Demonstrations may be available from James Adams or [[User:Layjet|James Taylor]] of [[Team:Safety|Safety Team]] and [[Trustees|Trustee]] fame.

Many thanks to all those who participated in the PAT testing. Lots of appliances were tested and added to the relevant databases.
Producing a list of tools is a task that can be worked on if you find yourself alone or you are working on PAT testing during the weekend, (see also Portable Appliance Testing Records at http://nhpat.ocatelle.xyz/login/). There is already a wiki page for this list that can be updated by anyone :)

This is a low priority task that could be worked on if alone in the space during the shutdown.

It will probably require some 3D Modelling skill.
The mill could potentially be fitted with a removable dust shoe that has an attachment for the hoover.

The collets and tools are currently sitting loose on the stepper controller under the CNC PC monitor. I would like to get some kind of tool rack made to better organise the area. The rack should include provision space for more tools to be added in the future.

===Move the Piano===
The [[Piano]] was moved into the comfy area. The radiogram has not been moved.
There has been some talk on slack about moving the [[Piano]] into the comfy area. One plan is to make space in the comfy area by re-homing or removing the radiogram.
One of the toilet seats is broken and could do with being replaced. Its the cubicle furthest from the door to the bathroom.
One of the toilet seats was broken.
On closer inspection the seat isn't broken but the lid is. Could use replacement or removing the lid just to tidy it up a bit.
There is a new shiny lid on the toilet now as this has been completed by some anonymous kind soul

We held a Hack the Space weekend from 18:00 on Friday 8th February to 18:00 Sunday 10th February (some jobs starting at 13:00). It was all hands on deck improving our space! This wiki page was intended to detail exactly what needed doing so that we were all working towards the same goals. Now that the weekend is over, this page shows what we were working on and our progress.
Many thanks to the many people who gave their time to make this a success.
