| === Being Excellent ===
| |
| Be respectful of our communal space by not leaving your belongings out and potentially hindering others from making. Start from a place of good faith that your fellow PS1 members do not intend to leave messes intentionally and are doing their best to help maintain PS1. (That is not always the case, but it often is.) Also be respectful of the property of others and be gentle when moving what is not yours. Please don't strip parts from things that might be useful. If you want to strip a thing, please make sure to properly dispose of the rest.

| == Tidy Space Policy == | | ===What is TidySpace?=== |
| | The Tidy Space policy is designed to make the “space” in “hackerspace” easier for everyone to use. It introduces a visual system of marking and tagging to indicate when something is out of place, and gives people tools to help keep things orderly. It relies on participation from every member, but is administered by Deputies. It is, of course, to be executed alongside the Pumping Station: One Membership Agreement and the overarching rule: “be excellent to each other.” |
|
| |
|
| === What is TidySpace? ===
| | It is strongly recommended that all personal property is labeled. It is much more likely your belongings can be returned to you if there is identifying information present. Pumping Station: One is not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen personal property. (See Membership Agreement.) Leave items at your own risk. |

| === Parking Permit === | |
| | |
| ==== What it is ====
| |
| | |
| This [https://github.com/pumpingstationone/ps1-design/blob/master/export/green-parking-tag.pdf green tag]* (https://github.com/pumpingstationone/ps1-design/blob/master/export/green-parking-tag.pdf) should be placed on any item, project or materials used for personal or group projects, which are being actively worked and/or are too large to store in personal locker/shelf space. Items with a properly issued parking permit must not be left on a worktable or in a walkway. Items that are left with or without a Parking Permit may be moved to Temporary Storage by anyone at any time. Members are able to write their own ticket for parking, valid for a maximum of 72 hours unless an Area Host agrees to a longer period of time not exceeding 30 days. Members are able to renew Parking Permits themselves given that they are physically in at PS1 to do so. Area Hosts are able to limit renewals at their discretion if appropriate to maintain organization of Temporary Storage.
| |
| | |
| * Note that physical parking permits will not always be green. Although it is convenient to be able to distinguish labels by color, we often experiment with different labels and media that aren't always available in green. Always inspect the permit to see what it says.
| |
| | |
| ==== Who can issue ====
| |
| | |
| Parking permits may be issued by any member for their own project for up to 72 hours. For longer periods, they must be approved by any Officer, Director, Area Host, or deputized person, but renewals can be overruled by a presiding Area Host or a majority vote of the Board. Permit renewals follow the same process as new permits.
| |
| | |
| ==== What’s on the form ====
| |
| | |
| The tag includes a brief, legible description of the material being stored, the maximum square footage taken up by the material, the name and contact information of the owner/responsible party, the date the permit expires and the name and signature of the issuer.
| |
| | |
| === Parking Ticket ===
| |
| | |
| ==== What it is ====
| |
| | |
| [https://github.com/pumpingstationone/ps1-design/blob/master/export/red-parking-tag.pdf Red tickets] (https://github.com/pumpingstationone/ps1-design/blob/master/export/red-parking-tag.pdf) should be placed on any item, project, or materials found in the space without a permit or with an improperly filled or expired permit. If materials are obstructing a walkway, common work areas or work surfaces, or is otherwise stored in a manner that is a hindrance of the use of PS1 by other members, anyone is able to respectfully move items to Temporary Storage where an authorized person will ticket items if they are unclaimed. As stated above, items must be labeled with a Parking Pass and stored properly when not actively being worked on. Personal storage is exempted from the Parking Ticket process and improperly utilized personal storage is covered in its own section below.
| |
| | |
| | |
| * Note that physical parking tickets will not always be red. Although it is convenient to be able to distinguish labels by color, we often experiment with different labels and media that aren't always available in red. Always inspect the ticket to see what it says.
| |
|
| |
|
| ==== Who can issue ==== | | ===Being Excellent=== |
| | Be respectful of our communal space by not leaving your belongings out and potentially hindering others from making. Be respectful of the property of others and be gentle when moving what is not yours. |
|
| |
|
| Parking tickets may be issued by any Officer, Director, Area Host, or deputized person.
| | ===Green Ticket=== |
|
| |
|
| ==== What’s on the form ==== | | ====What it is==== |
| | We understand that not all projects can be completed in a single day. In that light we want to have a way to respectfully communicate the status and the day when an item may be removed. Green tickets are used as a formal request to procure an acceptable space for a limited time with a maximum of 72hrs. Green tickets can be renewed, unless red ticketed or otherwise informed. Requests for extended time may be granted by a deputy. |
|
| |
|
| The tag includes space for a brief description of the material in question, instructions for the owner of the item, the name of the individual issuing the ticket, the date of issue, and the date at which items will be moved to Salvage if no action is taken. While digital notifications may be made available, physical labels take precedent.
| | ===Red Ticket=== |
|
| |
|
| ==== What happens to ticketed items ==== | | ====What it is==== |
| | Red Tickets are used to inform interested parties of the unacceptable state and the change in status of ticketed items. Upon ticketing, items must be removed within 72 hours (except as designated elsewhere in this policy) before being moved to Salvage. Only Deputies may move expired Red Tickets to Salvage. |
|
| |
|
| The ticket can be struck by the issue of a valid parking permit, or in the case of space property, proper labeling and storage. Ticketed material may be moved out of the way or placed in Temporary Storage, but must not be moved to Salvage until the 72 hours after the ticket is issued. The issuer, and/or Area Host, accepts the obligation to make a good-faith effort to contact the person responsible for the material (if known) to let them know their material should be retrieved or marked with a valid parking permit. If the owner is legitimately unavailable to take care of their materials within the 72 hours, the issuer and/or Area Host may make arrangements with the owner at their discretion, but are under no obligation to do so.
| | ====Who can issue==== |
| | Red tickets may be issued by any Deputy. Red Tickets will be placed on anything found in the space without a Green Ticket, in a No-Go Zone, or with an improperly filled or expired Green Ticket. Deputies will use good faith and common sense to differentiate trash from personal property when deciding whether to issue a Red Ticket. |
|
| |
|
| === Salvage === | | ====Process==== |
| | Both a physical Red Ticket and submission via the Red Ticket Machine are required for valid Red Tickets. |
|
| |
|
| ==== What it is ====
| | Red Ticket statuses will be posted to current official channels. Deputies are not required to contact via outside channels. |
|
| |
|
| Salvage is a clearly marked and well lit set of shelves dedicated to almost-trash. Anyone may remove anything from Salvage at any time. | | ===Salvage=== |
|
| |
|
| | ====What it is==== |
| | Salvage is a clearly marked area dedicated to almost-trash. Anyone may remove anything from Salvage at any time. |
|

|
| * Area hosts: Items with valid parking tickets issued more than 72 hours in the past. | | *Deputies: Items with valid Red Tickets that have expired. |
| * Area hosts: Items that have been in the lost and found for more than a month.
| | *All members: Items you own. |
| * All members: Items you own. | |

|
| |
|
| ==== Salvage Rules: ====
| | *Do not bring items to PS1 specifically to put in Salvage. |
| | | *Items must fit on the shelves. |
| * Do not bring items to PS1 specifically to put in Salvage. | | *Anyone may remove anything from Salvage at any time. |
| * If an item is of a known level of brokenness, label as such.
| |
| * Items must fit on the shelves. You can make room by (re)moving or disassembling other items. | |
| * Anyone may remove anything from Salvage at any time. | |
| * If you take something out of Salvage for personal use, it must be stored properly.
| |

| === Sort-Me Zones ===
| |
| | |
| ==== What they are ====
| |
| | |
| Each hosted area has Sort-Me Zones (one or multiple), a marked spaces designated for PS1-owned items in need of a home. Anyone who knows where these items belong should return them to their proper storage location. Within an Area, zones may be labeled based on category. Items that appear to be personal property should not be put in Sort-Me Zones, but rather should go to Temporary Storage.
| |
| | |
| ==== What to put in a Sort-Me Zone ====
| |
| | |
| * PS1-owned items
| |
| * Items that fit the category of the area-specific zone (e.g. placing drill bits in a Sort-Me Zone of drill bits.)
| |
| * Things that bear no indication of where they belong can go in generic Sort-Me Zones.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==== What happens to things in Sort-Me Zones ====
| |
| | |
| Things found in Sort-Me Zones will be sorted by anyone. If you encounter a populated Sort-Me Zone, do this:
| |
| *Put items where they belong (if you definitely know where it goes).
| |
| *Designate a new home with a labeled bin, shelf, pegboard outline, or similar (let the area host know, chances are they’ll appreciate it).
| |
| *Take item to lost and found (if a personal item).
| |
| Only Area Hosts, Officers, Directors and other deputized persons are allowed to:
| |
| *Issue Parking Tickets
| |
| *Throw items away
| |
| *Take items to Salvage
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Personal Storage=== | | ===Personal Storage=== |
| | Upon the expiration of storage rental, items are subject to the same policy as items in Temporary Storage. |
|
| |
|
| Upon the expiration of storage rental by a member, whether by ending membership at PS1 or ending payment for storage, members are expected to removed belongings promptly so that other members may make use of personal storage as limited spaces are available. Members have 2 weeks to remove belonging from an expired unit after an attempt to notify the member has been made. After that 2-week grace period, the contents of that personal storage unit will be labeled and moved to Temporary Storage for an additional 2 weeks to allow for the owner to claim their belongings. After those 4 weeks, starting from the time of initial notification, if no other arrangements or contact has been made, unclaimed items will then be moved to Salvage.
| | ===Temporary Storage=== |
| | Temporary Storage Areas are designated places for members to store Green Ticketed items. Typically these areas will be labeled. |
|
| |
|
| === Lost and Found === | | ===No-Go Zones=== |
|
| |
|
| Small personal items (cell phones, wallets, multitools, hats, etc.) should be placed in the Lost and Found.
| | ====What it is==== |
| | A No-Go Zone is any designated space that cannot be used to store member projects. These include areas dedicated to storing PS:One equipment. When possible, No-Go Zones should be clearly marked, but a degree of common sense is assumed. |
|
| |
|
| *Label found items with date and location found
| | ====Types of No-Go Zones==== |
| *Items must remain in Lost and Found for a minimum of one month before they are moved to Salvage
| | Worktables - A Worktable is a surface to be used only for projects currently being worked on. Worktables must never be used to store projects not currently being worked on except those that qualify as “Standing Projects.” |
| *Try to inform the owner
| |
| *Communicate privately if possible
| |
| *Post to the list when the owner is unknown
| |
| *Include "[found]" in the subject line
| |
|
| |
|
| | Walkways - Walkways are specially marked areas which are kept free of obstructions so that individuals may pass through them unhindered. |
|
| |
|
| === Area Hosts ===
| | Access Areas - An Access Area is floor space that must be kept clear to allow for access to tools, cabinets, toolboxes, or any other resource. These areas should be marked similarly to walkways, but a degree of common sense is assumed. Electrical panels, light switches, doors, etc. |
| Because the Tidy Space policy relies heavily on Area Host intervention, it also requires that areas be visually well-defined, that area hosts are easy to contact, and that they’re able to recruit help and delegate administrative tasks as necessary.
| |
|
| |
|
| Every square foot in the space falls under the purview of an Area Host. In each area, the following information should be clearly visible:
| | ====What happens to things in a No-Go Zone?==== |
| *Name of the Area
| | Items in a No-Go Zone will be ticketed as normal, but the Red Ticket period will be 24 hours instead of 72 hours. If items cannot be easily moved to Temporary Storage, then they can be moved directly to Salvage/Trash at the discretion of any two Deputies. The Red Ticket Machine must still be used for notification and documentation. |
| *Name and contact information the Area Host
| |
|
| |
|
| Area Hosts may, at their discretion, deputize members to help them manage Parking Permits, Parking Tickets, worktables, walkways, and storage of any kind. Area helpers agree to communicate all administrative activities to the Area Hosts. Area Hosts may revoke administrative permissions at any time, but should avoid this by selecting their helpers carefully.
| | ====Exceptions==== |
| | Properly labeled Standing Projects are allowed to be left on Worktables, subject to the details below. |
|
| |
|
| | ===Standing Projects=== |
| | If you need to leave a project for a short time (3 hour maximum) you are expected to put a note on your project with the time you are leaving and contact information. If 3 hours pass after that time, the item may be moved to Temporary Storage in the same manner of an untagged item. If a project is going to be left for longer than 3 hours, a Green Ticket should be written and the item should be stored properly, either in a personal locker/shelf or Temporary Storage. |
|
| |
|
| === Worktables ===
| | Standing projects should be tagged by their owner with the following: |
|
| |
|
| A worktable is a surface to be used only for projects currently being worked on. Area Hosts designate worktables in their area at their discretion. Worktables are marked either with spray paint (using a stencil like this one; note: stencil currently not found) or with other markings devised by the Area Host. Worktables must never be used to store projects not currently being worked on except those that qualify as “Standing Projects.”
| | *Name and contact information |
| | *Date and time the items are being left |
| | *Time of expected return |
| | *Explanation (examples: "wet paint", "home depot run", "dinner") |
|
| |
|
| | Make sure your tag is visible, legible, and securely attached to your items. |
|
| |
|
| === Walkways === | | ===Moving Other People’s Projects=== |
| | If you encounter what appears to be an abandoned project after looking for a Standing Project Note and verifying that the person is not at the space, proceed to move the project to Temporary Storage while keeping the following in mind: |
|
| |
|
| Walkways are specially marked areas which are kept free of obstructions so that individuals may pass through them unhindered. Area Hosts designated walkways in their area at their discretion. Adherence to ADA width requirements* is strongly encouraged where possible.
| | *Respecting other people's property is part of Being Excellent. |
| Designating “walkways” is an excellent way for Area Hosts to keep floorspace clear and are recommended for areas around stationary tools, shelves, and anywhere else where obstructions are unacceptable.
| | *Move items to Temporary Storage if there is space available. If no space is available, move items out of the way and contact an Area Host to let them know about the items in question. |
|
| |
|
| | ===Special Interest Groups / Clubs=== |
| | Any group of members that seek out dedicated space for supplies and tools for a common purpose (ie: photography, Power Racing, Cycle Station One) will go through the Area Host for permission, and can be exempted from the Tidy Space policy. |
|
| |
|
| === Standing Projects ===
| |
|
| |
|
| If you need to leave a project for a short time (1 hour maximum) you are expected to put a note on your project with the time you are leaving and contact information. If an hour passes after that time, the item may be moved to Temporary storage in the same manner of an untagged item.“Standing Project” forms will be available but other media may be used. If a project is going to be left for longer than 1 hour, a Parking Permit should be written and the item should be stored properly, either in personal or temporary storage.

| === Moving Other People’s Projects ===
| |
| | |
| If you encounter what appears to be an abandoned project after looking for a Standing Project Note and verifying that the person is not at the space, proceed to move the project to Temporary Storage while keeping the following in mind:
| |
| *Respecting other people's property is part of Being Excellent.
| |
| *If possible, carefully place the items in a container so that they don’t get scattered.
| |
| *Move items to Temporary Storage if there is space available. If no space is available, move items to an area you do not currently need to use and contact an Area Host to let them know about the items in question.
| |
| *If items are drying, painstakingly arranged, or susceptible to damage from gentle touching, avoid moving them. If the owner is known, communicate with them. Otherwise, contact the presiding Area Host.
| |
| *Understand that in a shared space there’s no guarantee that if you leave your project to dry, others will take your project into consideration when working nearby (e.g. sanding next to freshly-painted wood). Take this into consideration when leaving your project unattended.
