Zone updates

Craft Room

  • For things belonging to the craft room that are removed for use in the space, please remember to bring them back. Members' time and effort is spent looking for things that are not brought back and if they are not found, they are not able to use them. Please be considerate of fellow members. Lost items can be expensive to replace and it's likely that donation funds are not enough to cover them. Also, the craft room will not be loaning equipment for members to borrow from the space. We believe that our things are for everyone to use and if something is removed, it's not available for someone else. This also removes the burden for tracking and remembering, from the zone coordinators and borrower.
  • Nate adds "Don't steal shit. Borrowing without asking is stealing."

Electronics Lab

  • Thank you to Steve S. for several years of loan of his Kikusui high-voltage DC PSU, which has now gone home. (It's the one that sounded like a vacuum cleaner.)
  • Potential replacements are being evaluated.
  • It looks like cash from the drawer will cover this (haven't done detailed accounting, but it's been good lately), so thank you to everyone who contributes!
  • Thanks also to the mystery angel who vacuums the floor once in a while, you're awesome!

Media Lab

  • The Adobe Suite is now installed on the media lab workstation and no longer available on the VM.
