House rules

Keep things tidy

The area works best when everybody can start working right away without a hassle. Please be mindful of others and clean after yourselves.

Experience shows it's also not a great idea to turn small mess into a big deal. Don't be too upset if you have to tidy up first -- some 3am hacking sessions will inevitably end with a deep slumber instead of enthusiastic housekeeping.

Participate

The area is community-maintained. The best way to improve it is to do the improvement you'd like to see.

Tools & Material

Drawers with parts and some tools

What is available for use is in IKEA boxes -- either on the desks, or in the racks.

Share your materials and tools if you want to, feel free to sign them.
