Questions

• Python Office Hours, what's that all about?
  • Good time to work on projects, ask questions, or just hang and code. Doesn't have to be python.
• Who wants to weatherize?
• How do you schedule time on machines?
  • No schedules, just show up, share time and be nice
• How do you use a machine?
  • Get an authorization! Check the list, calendar, meetup, wiki
• How can I get trained?
  • We'll teach you enough to not hurt yourself, you'll have to practice or find training elsewhere (e.g. for welding: Chicago Industrial Art and Design)
