ToDo

OK, I've imported this from RepRap Matt's huge TODO list (basically making every line a list item (s/^/\*/g) )

The Old TODO list is at the bottom! We could just remove the old list but I'd prefer someone go through it. TODO: go through the old TODO list :)

Clearly a lot of this should link to (or be moved to) the instrumentation page -- we want to instrument as much stuff as possible and it still needs ACTUALLY doing, so it could still live here!!!

~~The party stuff already has a home - let's move it there!~~ done --Lwk 17:52, 21 May 2011 (BST)

Notes

Add your thoughts, requirements and musings about a job here. If it gets too big, move it to a new page under this (for example, ***Todo/Fridge*** and change the link in the list above.

Fridge

Need to add a combi lock to the fridge and move it to the entrance area to hold "soda"! Dominic is heading to the cash and carry, so what drinks do you want in here??

Diet Coke - James
Butch Diet Coke - Coke Zero/Pepsi Max - Dominic Lwk
Club Mate - They drink it in German Hackerspaces - Dominic
Do we want any chocolate or nibbles? - Dominic
Pepsi - Tony S
Organic, hand grown, hippy juice - Matt L
Dr. Pepper - Davidhayward

Network

Linksys modem, connected to WRT54GL router running DD-WRT (VPN build). Will discuss requirements with hackspace members & setup accordingly.

Note this router is on loan from Tony S until the hackspace has a donation / purchases one / Tony moves in July.

Proposal: WiFi connection will be setup to use WPA2 with AES encryption, unless legacy equipment requires weaker encryption / protocols. VPN will initially be disabled, but can be enabled for future use / remote management when Broadband connection sharing goes live with Anthem Films etc. Anthem Films (and any other clients) will be on a separate VLan & WiFi channel, with monitoring of usage & MAC filtering as appropriate - details to be discussed & finalised prior to implementation. Servers will have reserved IP addresses outside of DHCP allocation - as can members if required. Port forwarding can be setup on request if required for specific services / projects.

There is/was a 5 port gigabit switch in one box donated to the hackspace. --Lwk 13:52, 5 February 2011 (GMT)

Current hardware list here --Lwk

Network diagram & wiki page for discussion here

Server

Michael has donated everything we need to build a small, nearly-fanless machine - mini-ITX form factor. The only fan in there at the moment is the PSU, so I'll have a look around at how we can get/make a fanless PSU powerful enough to run it. (now up and running as "Holly" with fanless PSU --Michael Erskine 10:41, 4 March 2011 (GMT))

I'll put it all together on Wednesday, and hopefully get it all installed. It won;t have masses of hard drive spac, but it will do us for now!

I'll donate my Mini-ITX DC-DC PSU, case and a couple of HDDs - currently boots a Puppy Linux variant from a 32Mb CF card. --Michael Erskine 09:22, 4 February 2011 (GMT)

Once we have net access we can setup the server with Dynamic DNS so we can access webcam feeds etc from the outside world.--Lwk 14:19, 5 February 2011 (GMT)

Naming Convention

As the number of permanent devices goes up, we should choose a scheme to name them. For example, London use names of people in Computing. List your suggestions below.

British Greats (such as Brunel, Newton, Darwin, Faraday, etc)
Great Astronauts
Local Greats
60s & 70s funk and soul artists - I wanna cut on the Barry White CNC machine of love, or get down with the James Brown funk mill.
AI/Computers names from Si-Fi Film/Books/Tv. See my user page Lwk

Entrance Area/Breakout Zone

Breakout Area

Rough Dimensions -

A: 300CM
B: 473CM (Wall to Wall)
C: 280CM
D: 238CM
E: 154CM
F: 191CM (to Hackspace door)
G: 135CM (Approx width of corridor)
H: 120CM (Internal width of doors, not inc. frame)

Diagrams of The Space in progress --Michael Erskine 12:37, 4 March 2011 (GMT)

Now that our pole dancing friends have painted the walls and cleared all the sofas out we have a number of task we need to do in this area.

Put another coat of paint on the walls - Done
Repaint the floor?
Move fridge to this area and attach combi lock
Move kettle and other beverage preparation items
Should be able to run a tap into here from the room next door (which has running water? Drainage might be an issue)
Move the cinema seats in and build them - Done but 2 seats need modifying to stand unmounted
Reupholster terracotta coloured sofa - Ikea / Large throw needed.
Make some big bean bags?
Get matching throws for rolling chairs (to match sofa - on hold - see below)

Note from David - The rolling chairs now belong to the Hackspace, not me :). On reupholstering: Hold off for now. I'm planning on making a video with them to promote Nottinghack, and they might get a bit messed up in the process. We're also thinking of screen printing Hackspace logos on them.

Kitchen Area/Toilets

We should consider doing some work to make sure we have access to the kitchen area in future. If the large 1st Floor Workshop is being used it'd be good to have access to the kitchen. This could be achieved by knocking a door through from the shower room (currently locked for storage by Liam).

We also need to show some love to the toilets. I think a heater (of some kind) in both the ladies and the gents would be good. Maybe a wall heater for hot water? The gents has a massive whole in the ceiling. Could this be patched with a bit of plaster board or hard board and painted? Can the window be fixed? These are all worthwhile projects and would count towards volunteer work for TAO.
