Avoid telling people how to do their project. Sometimes the objective is to learn a new technique rather than solve the problem in the best way.
Try not to touch or pick up projects without permission.
Some people are here to be social, some people are here to work and may not want to talk. Please respect their space and leave them be!
While many things are fair game for hacking/modifying, the core infrastructure/access control systems are not.
Attempts to 'defeat' security/access control for equipment will be viewed very negatively and may end up in restriction/removal of space access privileges.
If you want to improve a piece of core infrastructure e.g. music player etc, then discuss any proposed changes with its' current owner/maintainer first.
We have lots of scraps, off-cuts, spares and components etc. which can be used.
If you need something specific or a lot of something, please provide your own.
Try to tidy up as you go if possible. Work spaces should be clean and tidy before you leave.
If you need to leave something out, ask on the discussion list.
Bins, dustpans, brushes, mops, blue roll and vacuum cleaners etc. are around the space.
If you have cut, sawed, drilled, sanded, filed or ground anything then there will be something to clean up.
Large bins in the workshops - Dustpans and brushes attached.
Small bins around the space.
Please do not leave food waste in the space.
Bins currently to be taken home. Please help out if you can (but only if you will dispose of waste streams correctly).
Battery disposal - Please take to a battery recycling point e.g. Tesco.
Recycling - Clean/Dry items that could go in a household recycling bin.
Ensure cans are empty and not likely to leak in someone's car
Soft plastics/films if marked with "Recycle at Store"

Do not bring waste into the space just to dispose of it.
