Are you new to PS1 and have questions about authorizations?

Please begin by reading the Wiki page "How Do I Get Authorized?" https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/How_Do_I_Get_Authorized%3F, AKA, "Authorization Page"

As the page above states, you begin by touring the PS1 space and choosing a piece of equipment. There is likely a paper label with a QR code; type that name into the search bar of this Wiki. Let's use the Taz 3D printer as an example:

The label indicates you should be authorized. On the Wiki, you'll see following information on the right.

Per the "How Do I Get Authorized" page, you are directed to check the calendar - http://pumpingstationone.org/events/ and Meetup. You check both and see nothing listed for the next two weeks.

So in this scenario, you'll need to find the CNC area host. The Authorization page advises you to "check the mailing list." The mailing list is the Google Group. When you join PS1, you are sent several emails, and one points you to the Google Group discussion board - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pumping-station-one

When you first visit, it will say

"Pumping Station One

You must be a member of this group to view and participate in it.

Apply for membership or contact the owner."

Click Apply for membership and make sure you are logged into Google with the email you use for PS1. Someone will approve your membership to this group, usually within 24 hours. Once you have access to the group, you will see an active online community of PS1 members talking about a variety of topics. Do a quick skim for a subject line "Authorization Request - CNC" or "Authorization Request - Taz 3D printer". If nothing like that has been posted within the last few weeks, or nothing is scheduled, create a new topic. Use the subject line "Authorization Request - CNC Area, 3D printer".
 
−
Write a sentence in the body text explaining that you are looking to become authorized, and list your basic availability over the next 2 weeks. Usually someone will write back and propose a time within 48 hours. If you do not receive a response after 5 days (which is unlikely), you are welcome to reply to your own topic saying you have not received a response.

You will hear back, schedule a mutually agreed upon time. Oftentimes, other members will jump in to say they are also looking to get authorized and it will become a small group event.
