House rules

Keep the place tidy

The area works best when everybody cleans up after themselves, so that the next person to use it can start working without hassle.

Experience shows that it's a good idea to not make a big deal out of a little mess -- if you prefer a tidy work place, you'd need to tidy up after someone else from time to time.

Participate

The place is community-maintained, everybody is welcome to participate.

If you need something to improve, the best way is to improve it yourself. Share your tools, materials. Be mindful of others' contributions, if you break something, tell others, replace it.

Equipment & Materials

The desks are equipped with essential tools and there's a rack with IKEA boxes that contain various stuff useful for electronic area.

Please use the materials reasonably. If something runs out, refill or let others know. Share your stuff if you want to. Feel free to sign it with your name. Return stuff you don't need any more (like Arduinos, devboards).
