==Amendment June 20, 2013 (changes to existing sections)==
===Parking Requests===
Requests for a parking ticket may be removed by the owner of the items if the items are moved into personal storage or removed from the space.
===Parking Permits===
Items with a properly issued parking permit must <del>be kept in a container or on a shelf</del> not be left on a Worktable or in a Walkway
===Parking Tickets===
Clarification: This section previously had inconsistent number regarding the amount of time a ticketed item may stand before being moved to Limbo. The default time frame is 72 hours.
If the owner is legitimately unavailable to take care of their materials within the 72 hours, the issuer and/or area host may make arrangements with the owner at their discretion.
===Limbo===
If an item is too big to fit in Limbo, it is subject to disassembly or ejection from the space. In this case, if the owner is known, they shall be given two weeks to arrange for removal of the item from the space.
==Amendment June 20, 2013 (new sections)==
===What is TidySpace?===
The TidySpace policy is designed to make the “space” in “hackerspace” easier for everyone to use. It introduces a visual system of marking and tagging to indicate when something is out of place, and gives people tools to help keep things orderly. It relies on participation from every member, but is administered by area hosts and officers. It is, of course, to be executed alongside the Pumping Station: One Membership Agreement and the overarching rule: “be excellent to each other.”
===Area Hosts===
Because the TidySpace policy relies heavily on area host intervention, it also requires that areas be visually well-defined, that area hosts are easy to contact, and that they’re able to recruit help and delegate administrative tasks as necessary.
Every square foot in the space falls under the purview of an area host. In each area, the following information should be clearly visible:
*name of the area
*name and contact information the area host
Area hosts may, at their discretion, recruit other members to help them manage parking requests, parking permits, parking tickets, Worktables, Walkways, and Wut Zones. Area helpers agree to communicate all administrative activities to the area hosts. Area hosts may revoke administrative permissions at any time, but should avoid this by selecting their helpers carefully.
===Worktables===
A Worktable is a surface to be used only for projects being worked on right now. Area hosts designate Worktables in their area at their discretion. Worktables are marked either with spray paint (using a stencil like this one) or with other markings devised by the area host. Worktables must never be used to store projects not being worked on right now.
===Walkways===
Walkways are specially marked areas which are kept free of obstructions so that individuals may pass through them unhindered. Area hosts designate walkways in their area at their discretion. Adherence to ADA width requirements* is strongly encouraged where possible.
Designating “walkways” is an excellent way for area hosts to keep floorspace clear and are recommended for areas around stationary tools, shelves, and anywhere else where obstructions are unacceptable.
Although some large projects may inevitably encroach on a walkway while they’re being worked on, this should be kept to an absolute minimum. Materials should never be left in a walkway.
===Standing Projects===
If you need to leave a project for a short time (less than 24 hours), you are expected to put a note on your project. If other members encounter your project while you're out, the note will communicate to other members how long the project has been there, how soon they can its owner will be back to take care of it, and how to contact its owner in case it needs to be moved. “Standing Project” forms will be available but other media may be used.
Standing projects should be tagged by their owner with the following
*name & contact information
*date & time the items are being left
*justification (examples: "wet paint", "home depot run", "dinner")
*when you intend to retrieve the items
Make sure your tag is visible, legible, and securely attached to your items. As a courtesy to others, and for the protection of your project, do not leave projects on a Worktable, in a Walkway, or anywhere it will be in other people's way. Projects left in people's way may be respectfully moved.
Standing projects with notes over 24 hours old are automatically subject to ticketing. Projects with notes past their stated time of retrieval are also subject to ticketing.
===Moving Other People’s Projects===
If you encounter what appears to be an abandoned project in a Walkway, Worktable or any place where it obstructs your activities, take a moment to assess the situation. The project’s owner might be somewhere in the building or outside. Try to find them. If they’ve left the building there should be a note nearby. After looking for a note and verifying that the person is not at the space, proceed while keeping the following in mind:
*Respecting other people's property is, of course, part of Being Excellent.
*If possible, carefully place the items in a container so that they don’t get scattered.
*Put the project somewhere nearby, such as the nearest Wut Zone.
*If items are drying, painstakingly arranged, or susceptible to damage from gentle touching, avoid moving them. If the owner is known, communicate with them.
You might feel frustrated when other people's projects are left in your way. That's understandable. But remember the rules. Be respectful and non-confrontational. Keep in mind that nobody's perfect, and that lapses in policy cannot be blamed solely on one individual. Use the opportunity to improve the space’s operation through communication.
