It's still running. MCP - waiting for BC and TK to have time to hack on it until it's up to a state to be implemented. PayPal donate button to be added to site.

62 active members.

Standardised emails creating

Slowly splitting that off into department specific things which is making this task easier.

Get for Space 3.0 - need walls first

• We need posters in the space that let people know that if they use a tool they can seriously injure themselves with when they are on their own in the space they are breaking the terms of the insurance and hackspaces H&S Policy. NOT YET DONE

ACTION:

• CH to create stub pages for tools that don't have proper pages STARTED
• someone to create a “pages that need work” page on the wiki to guide people to places where we need to improve tool documentation. STARTED

Designated person(s), designated time(s) - they're only allowed in during that period.

This would need to be implemented as part of the MCP (allowing all of the designated persons to have their own RFID on the system).

YES - FS.

We should supply basic PPE for all of the equipment that requires PPE and MUST encourage people to use it. We will also be encouraging people to acquire their own PPE if they're using machines on a regular basis. PPE should be checked on a regular basis - stock level and condition.

Any member found using substandard PPE must be notified, we will be implementing a consequence for using such in the new H&S rules. EG if a member is found using dangerous PPE on a piece of equipment having already been warned that their PPE is not fit for purpose they will have their access to that machine removed using the Haccess control system.

Any pledge drives or proposals for acquiring new equipment which requires PPE MUST include the basic PPE for that item.

Yes. Potentially worth asking people to buy a chunk of laser time to fund the new tube.
