Giving a tour? You'll need to cover a few basic points.
* PS1 is a volunteer-run organization, no one gets paid to be here
* See something that needs fixing? This is a physical wiki - go fix it (and tell someone).
** There is no staff here, so '''you must clean up after yourself'''.
* Our primary rule: Be Excellent To Each Other
** ...you can also be asked to leave the organization for not respecting people, equipment, or facilities
* We have two membership levels:
** '''“starving hacker” members''' ($40/mo)
*** 24 hour access to the space
*** ability to certify on tools
** '''full members''' ($70/mo)
*** fully contributing members of the community
*** have voting rights
*** get everything starving hackers get, plus storage space (lockers and/or shelves), discounts on classes, events, and merchandise
* We have a tool labeling system (RTFM = you must be certified to use this tool, DNH = do not hack this). See the Equipment Wiki page for more info.
* We have three google groups:
** '''Public''': anyone can join
** '''Private''': members-only - members MUST join
** '''Directors''': any member may join - this is a way to get further into the guts of how things work at PS1
'''Interested in learning more?''' The PS1 orientation class is a great way to learn more about how things actually work here. Look for it on the Events page at pumpingstationone.org
