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.
Cheerio,

Hiya
The Aberdeen Council Creative Funding Awards is coming round again. I
was wondering if anyone else would be keen in getting involved in
putting together an application?
We applied for this scheme back in 2018, which seems like a lifetime
ago now. We applied for £6k then. Notes on this, including the
application form and the feedback we got are at the bottom of the wiki
page at...
https://wiki.57north.org.uk/doku.php?id=admin:funding_applications
The council say they've changed the scheme a bit this year. The
details are on...
https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/services/leisure-culture-and-parks/creative…
There is also an info session on the 4th May 2023, 6-7pm.
The closing date is 4th of June, so just over a month away.
What do y'all think?
Cheers
Andy
Hey :D
It's Tuesday again, so our weekly open evening. If you've not been
before, toot along and check out what goes on. If you've been before,
nice one, you know what & where.
We're at...
Suite H
Kettock Lodge
Innovation Park
Campus Two
Bridge of Don
Aberdeen AB22 8GU
...just hit the Suite H buzzer and someone shall come and let you in.
There is parking at the front, and loads more round the back. If you
need a lift, just reply here any someone will probably be able to help
out.
I'll be in at around 7pm.
See you in the space :)
This came through the mailing list - Is anyone interested in collaborating on a cool sounding project?

Dear 57 North,
I tried to get in touch with you a few weeks ago, but I don't think the email I found is correct, so I'm trying these now. Please let me know if you have a preferred email I can contact you through though. I just sent a message via facebook too.
I would like to introduce myself and see if you and your hackerspace group might be interested in being involved in a new project, I and the group I work with are planning on commencing here in Aberdeen over the next few months. My name’s Amy and I work with the not for profit organisation SEADS (Space Ecologies Art and Design): https://seads.network/. SEADS has worked on a variety of projects over the last decade that focus on cross disciplinary art-science based collaborations, involving local communities, with an emphasis on open source working.
One project that has been run several times in multiple different countries is called ‘Biomodd’. The premise is to fuse living ecosystems (in some form) with technology, to develop a type of hybrid interactive art installation. A key requirement is the use of e-waste to build new computing systems that can interact with the living systems to generate data, and feedback between one another. Here’s a link to some of the previous iterations of the project: https://seads.network/hyperproject/biomodd.
We are wanting to initiate a new Biomodd project here in Aberdeen and were wondering if you and your group might be interested being involved? The aim is to work towards an exhibition of the installation near the end of May this year at an appropriate (yet to be determined) venue in the city.
As for myself, I lived in Aberdeen for about 20 years before moving to France a few years ago, but I’m now back here working remotely and I think it would be really interesting to initiate something like this in Aberdeen. My background is in biological sciences and I now work in the space sector, so I will definitely need some people (like yourselves) with more electronics and computer focussed science skills to help out with this 😅
If you’re interested or anyone within your group might be, then please let me know and I’d be happy to meet up online or in person to discuss further 🙂

What a weird collision of date and count. See you there
- Tom
Good morning all,
I will be joining today from around 7-730pm and hopefully fiddle with my
doorbell/home assistant setup.
I can offer a ride back from space, around 9-930pm to George Street area
(and anything in between)
