  • 💬 Main communication channel - Discord: The place for getting questions answered, fun membership announcements, events, time sensitive communications, or connecting with other members in real time. You will get the fastest support here. It's awesome.
  • 📧 Email - info@pumpingstationone.org: Can't get on Discord? This email address goes to PS1 admins, response time may vary.
  • 🆘 Membership conflict - Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC): Request mediation with another member or to report a potential violation of the membership agreement
  • 📜 Formal discussion- Discourse: Red ticket notifications, long format discussions, vote ideas, authorization requests for some (not all) tools

The Physical Space

📜 Access the Building

✔️ Tool Authorizations

🧹 Tidy Space Policy

🗄️Member Storage

  • 📜 Access the Building - After getting ID verified, new members can grab a key fob and link the number to their membership account. In an emergency, if you're a #✅-verify! member on Discord, enter the one time door code into the /door command.
  • ✔️ Tool Authorizations: Any tool more dangerous or complicated to use than a soldering iron requires members to get authorized to use first. All tools requiring authorization will have a sticker stating so. Get authorized first! Don't use tools you're not authorized for!
  • 🧹 Tidy Space Policy: Need to leave something alone in the space after you've left? Got paint to dry? Learn about the Tidy Space Policy to know how to green ticket your items for up to 3 days so they don't get red parking ticket, and then eventually removed. Ask area hosts for help with long term storage. Don't leave a mess for others to deal with!
  • 🗄️ Member Storage: Shelves and Lockers cost an additional $30 a month. If you have a membership plus storage, you can claim your locker or shelf by checking from what is available on the Member Storage Registry page and getting in contact with the Member Management Team.

🖥️ Username

👯 Guest Policy

🗳️ Voting

🍃 ShopMon

  • 🖥️ Username, Login, Computer Access - Your PS1 login will work for your member management page, wiki, Canvas, Discourse, and computers in the space. Also called "active directory login."
  • 👯 Guest Policy - Guests who are chaperoned by members or attending events are always welcome at PS1. All guests must fill out the PS1 waiver (found at pumpingstationone.org > Menu > Waiver, or at psone.link/iwillnotdiehere . Non-members are not allowed to use tools that require authorizations, even under the supervision. Door access cannot be given to/shared with non-members.
  • 🗳️ Voting - We're a non-profit, you're vote matters! You should receive emailed voting polls at the email you signed up with. Any member can write a vote! Learn how to write a vote!
  • 🍃 ShopMon - A handy real-time motion activity map of the physical space.

Do:

  • Clean up after yourself (dishes, projects, put tools away). Any member found not cleaning up their mess will be subject to disciplinary action.
  • Report broken tools! You won’t be punished for breaking a tool because we need every broken tool to be a learning opportunity for all members. Reporting broken tool also helps keep other members safe and will help the tool get fixed/replaced sooner. Report broken tools on Discord, email the area host (you can also ask on Discord), and update the wiki.
  • Take out the trash; bags are in the CNC room in the safe and the key to the dumpster is in the dock. If you're using the wood shop, always check to see if the particulate filter bags need emptied - before and after you use the wood shop - and empty them when needed.
  • Turn off all the lights if you are the last one in the building. Make sure all the building doors are closed and lock behind you when you leave.
  • Respect your fellow members. High demand tools such as the lasers may require turn-taking. It is first-come, first-served, however you should be considerate.
  • Feel free to host an event or workshop! Ask in #public-relations Discord.
  • Volunteer!!! We are a member-run organization with NO employees. There are many ways that virtually anyone can contribute.
  • Label your food with your name and a date, or it will be disposed of. Unmarked food or store-bought beer is free.
  • If you use a tool, help maintain it. We are all volunteers and are all equally responsible for making Pumping Station a fun and functional place.

Do NOT:

  • Let strangers in without verifying that they are members. They need to show you an email from PS1 to get in. You can also double-check they are an active member by checking the member directory.
  • Permit non-members to use tools.
  • Surprise someone using a tool. If you need to talk with someone using a tool, approach slowly from the front, while calling to them, or better yet, wait until they are done. DO NOT startle them.
  • Overfill the dumpster. We will get fined.
  • Leave doors open after 7PM. Our neighbors are disturbed by the noise and mice come in.
  • Park in front of the loading dock. It is for members to load and unload, and occasionally do work on their cars.
  • Block the fire lanes or electrical panels.
  • Prop fire doors open, nor any door that indicates it should not be propped open.
  • Leave tools running unsupervised! No saws, no lasers, no Shopbots! If you do, we’ll probably deauthorize you, at the least. (The one exception is 3d printers)
