The Hackspace is run by volunteers. A board of seven trustees give some of their spare time to ensure the space continues to run.

Just because a trustee seems to have an interest in a particular area, please don't assume that means you can't do things. Trustees are first and foremost members, and any work or space-wide projects that they take part in they do so as members.

You can always contact the entirety of the current board by emailing trustees@nottinghack.org.uk.

To contact an individual trustee, use their email from the table below.

Current Board

The area's of responsibility have fallen by the wayside a little, but will be set soon.

I originally stood as a trustee because I was involved from the very beginning of Nottingham Hackspace, and wanted it to continue growing. Since then I've helped with some of the infrastructure and planning of the current hackspace, and run membership processes, ultimately handing them over to the software team who then developed HMS. I'm currently part of the membership team, and am interested in making the hackspace a more inclusive place rather than a boys club. I worry about dominant voices drowning out others, and spent most of 2013 advocating that we set up teams and encourage a larger group of members to be more involved in running the space.

I decided to stand as a trustee because I wanted to get more involved in the running if the space. Having seen the space grow from the space near the station to our current space, I was really excited by what we could do. The things I mainly enjoy getting involved in at the space are workshops and events, and I run the Ukulele workshops on Thursday nights. I'm also part of the comms team, working on the newsletter and website.

I first became a trustee when we first became a proper limited organisation. I was scared that we would collapse in some way, and I needed to make sure that we didn't - and it seems to have worked pretty well! Since then, I've become the go-to guy for all things legal, which seems to take up an inordinate amount of my time and also terrifies me on an almost daily basis. Despite this encroaching fear, I still enjoy being a trustee, and I love to see the place grow and become a better place for everyone.

I became a trustee because I'm focused on providing a space where members respect the tools, respect the space, and respect each other. I can be often found at the space giving tours to potential new members, helping out people with their membership queries, organising and cataloguing the Hackspace library, and occasionally blocking out a new shawl I knitted. I also help produce the monthly newsletter, update the website, and help out people with their events and workshops.
