Teams

  Please see Nottinghack Rules/Guide - Hackspace Organisation and Teams    HMS page

The hackspace has a number of small, self-governing teams that maintain particular parts of the space - covering specific tools, systems or areas. All teams have a channel in the team slack where they work.

Questions for teams

If you have a question about something a team looks after they can be contacted on the team email or Slack channel (listed on their team page). Likewise if you are interested in joining a team, email them or use Slack. Please note, however, that Slack is not a way for you to ask for things to be done - it's purely for teams to organise between themselves.

Trustee Oversight

All teams in the Hackspace are ultimately responsible to the Trustees who have delegated certain powers and responsibilities to the teams.

To be a member of a team a Trustee needs to approve and add you in HMS.

All team members can email trustees@nottinghack.org.uk, or contact Trustees on Slack with questions.

Resources
