Hello: Skillnad mellan sidversioner

Everything at Stockholm Makerspace is built, bought, transported, and renovated by members like you and me. No one gets a salary and we get no grants. The reason why we can pay the rent is that we are many who help out by paying membership dues. It's amazing what people can create together. If you think there is something that can be developed then you are most welcome to get involved in the operation of our association.

As a member in the organisation you’re welcome to attend our events and workshops, as well as vote at the annual meeting. If you wish to do independent projects on your own on the premises, you need to become a lab member.

The premises are open 24/7 for lab members, all year long, but to start gaining access you need attend a <bdi>new member introduction</bdi> ("medlemsintroduktion" in Swedish). We do not use a physical key, instead we use a system which uses your smartphone, [[Accessy]]. You can read more about it and what phone are supported on the wiki page for [[Accessy]].

All activities are run by volunteers, like you and me. We help each other learn the machines so that everyone can work independently. Share what you can, and ask for help if you get stuck. Some machines require that you have attended a course: welding (svetsrummet), laser cutter, and resin printer. Courses are advertised on [[Slack]] and can also be found on the [https://www.makerspace.se/kalendarium calendar]. There is no queue- first come, first served.

Absolutely! Email the board at info@makerspace.se to talk about the set up, creating a sign-up, and posting the course in the calendar. Perhaps check if other members are interested by posting about it in the Facebook group or Slack first?

 

No. If you already have a tag, you do not need to come to a "medlemsintroduktion" again. Your tag will be updated from our side.

===When should I pay for more lab membership so I don't get locked out?===

The access list is automatically synchronized with Accessy every Friday morning at 05:00. So if you pay for lab membership, the time will be added on the next Friday morning. Please note that this applies whether or not the your lab membership is currently active, so please extend your lab membership ahead of time if you wish to have uninterrupted access to the makerspace.

===What is my member number, is my tag active, and how long is my tag active?===

Purchases for the organization should be democratic as much as possible. Unfortunately, we only have 300m² of space and it is packed with things, so donations and purchases must be approved by the board before purchasing and transport to the premises. If you want to get compensation for expenses that are made for our common machine park then you need to have the purchase approved by a board member or [[Inköpsansvariga|purchase manager]] before purchasing. You also have to save the purchase receipt and send it to our treasurer according to [[Redovisning av Utlägg]] so that our treasurer can handle the accounting properly. In the case of more expensive purchases, the Board needs to meet to make a joint decision before a purchase can be made.  

If there is space available, you can place your project on the hall shelves for a maximum of 3 months. Your project should be marked with date, membership number and name, otherwise it will disappear. We have room for purchased sheets of plywood, acrylic and the like opposite the laser cutter in the workshop room.

You have to clean up after yourself. We have a cleaning service that we pay a considerable amount to mop floors and tables every week. But the cleaner does not touch tables with things on them, and does not clean floors where things are. It is very important that you clean up after yourself, so that we all can have a common, clean room. If you happened to leave things on a table, it might have been thrown away or moved to a Lost & Found box. Members help to empty the garbage. Ask a member if you don't know how to do it, or check out the [[Städrutiner|cleaning routines ("städrutinerna")]].

Stockholm Makerspace is offering a kitchenette with an electric kettle and a microwave oven. You can buy food, for example, across the street at The Coffice, or 7-Eleven or T-Snabben near the station.  

All Board members are volunteers and we meet about once per month. At the board meetings we discuss the financials, upcoming <bdi>new member introductions</bdi> ("medlemsintroduktioner"), any problems, and decide on larger purchases. If you want to contact the Board, email info@makerspace.se .
