This hackerspace belongs to and is controlled by its members, so by joining up, '''It's your hackerspace'''. If you see something wrong or broken, fix it. (or if you don't know how, bring it to the attention of someone who does and offer to help; you'll learn something!) If you want something to work differently, make it happen (the board, area hosts, and other long time members can usually be of help here). You as a member are allowed to be at the space any time! Talk to a board member to get your keycode, fob, or key. We'll work out which one you get.

Every Tuesday night at 8pm we have an open house. You probably attended one of these before you became a member. Everyone is encouraged to come on Tuesday nights to see what other people are working on and share ideas. It's always full of activity and lots of fun.

 +
* take one from the bucket near the front door.
 +
* buy one from the gum-ball machine near the bathroom in electronics. You will need 2 quarters (please, leave the empty ball on top of the machine afterwards so we can refill it).

=== How do I change my membership level? ===
 +
 +
If you want to change your membership level, please send us an email to [email protected] letting us know.
 +
 +
=== Can I keep my authorizations  and ID checks if I cancel my membership? ===
 +
 +
We allow members to cancel and rejoin PS1 at their leisure. Generally we try to maintain user accounts for as long as possible, but in order to maintain our membership database we may remove accounts that are expired for longer than 6 months. Members that have come back after some time away are strongly encouraged to do an authorization as a refresher to get up to speed on new equipment and/or best practices. Having said this, if you haven't been gone for too long, let us know and we might be able to let you keep your ID checks and authorizations.
 +
 +
Whenever you are ready to re-join the space, you can follow the same steps you did the first time you did. This steps are described in the [https://pumpingstationone.org/join/ the Join section of the website]. '''Please, use the same email you used the first time you joined'''.
 +
 +
