I have started a wiki page to capture the ideas and little papercuts people have in the leadup so that we can think about them all.
Feel free to add items and add discussion to ensure your voice is heard and we've considered things properly!

Hi,
The F-Droid team would like to use the hackerspace for a developer meeting on Mon 26th and Tue 27th June. There will be around 8 developers visiting for this meeting. This will futher the objective of the space to promote and support the use and development of free and open technologies.
Some of those visiting will also hang about for open day on the Tuesday.
You can find out more about F-Droid on their website at https://f-droid.org/.
Please let me know if there are any objections.
Thanks,
Iain.
Hey folks,
I am in the space just now, and plan to be here for a little while...at
least until 830pm.
Playing around with 3D printer, trying a new type of filament... exciting...
Cheerio,

Hi all,
Following the changes at AGM (minutes to come soon, they’re a draft in my inbox awaiting director signoff!) we figured it’d be worthwhile to add a membership page to the website to explain what it means to be a member of the hackerspace (obligations, legal responsibilities and our expectations of your behaviour) as well as a form as we’ve previously discussed.
What do we want from our membership process? Currently we have [1], which irl has observed isn’t particularly clear about what you’re signing up for. More importantly, recent practice hasn’t reflected this approach.
I think we would be well served to follow a more standard membership organisation format, and use a form (again which irl has prototyped - do you have a copy anywhere?) - I would quite like to have someone fill out that form and email it to membership@, and the directors can vet and approve/deny.
I’d like a recommendation included that someone comes along to a few open Tuesdays before we’ll approve them to minimise the likelihood of blind applications / chancers.
We also should document the new distant member process too, and I think it should be much the same.
I’ve even set up an email alias for membership@ which people can mail forms to!
I think it would be good practice to have members return a form annually after the AGM so that we can capture people address changes as we’re legally obliged to. At the moment, if you move house you’re meant to inform the directors so we can update the company records (please email membership@ with your latest address if you’ve moved house since you joined…)
If you’ve got anything to add to this, please reply here and we’ll capture it in the gh issue <3

Hi
I'll be in around 6:30 or 7:00.
See you there :)

Hey all,
I shall be at space as well this evening, possibly from as early as 7pm,
playing with the 3D printer.
