Welcome

Welcome to the Pumping Station:One! Chicago's Hackerspace. We do a lot of diverse things here, so I'm not sure I can encapsulate any of it briefly, but here goes: We do woodworking, software, metalworking, art, crafts, electronics, chemistry, power wheel racing, TARDIS building, green technology, nanotechnology, tinkering, dismantling of robots, assembling of robots, music, biotechnology, CNC, and the many ways all those subjects (and more) intersect and collaborate. So head on over to the Wiki Page Skills Exchange add your name, what you know, and what you want to know, and before you can lower your shields and surrender your ships we will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile... I mean you'll fit in nicely here.

Condensed Bylaws for New Members

Board of Directors

Voting

Here's how voting works:

  • Any member may propose a vote.
  • Only full members in good standing may vote.
  • Common, but not required step: the vote proposal is run past the board of directors for proper wording, etc. - this helps prevent people from disagreeing with your proposal because it's written poorly.
  • The proposing member places the item before the membership (either on mailing list or during a meeting) at least 7 days prior to a meeting.
  • During this period, people may read and discuss the proposal, and offer their own counter-proposals.
  • At the next scheduled meeting, the proposal and any counter proposals are voted on.

Meetings

  • Directors Meetings

Interested in Learning?

Feel free to come by any of the advertised events on the calendar. Some workshops require you to be a member or to pay a parts fee. Read the fine print. If there's some class you'd like taught please ask around the membership to see if there are other interested hackers and if anyone can teach the class or if we need to call in a professional.
