Talk to Devin, I'm pretty sure he was using it Sunday night. He might know where it is.

This is just my opinion, but I really don't think we need policies or procedures on how to clean/rearrange the space. We're a do-ocracy. If you want to do something, do it. That's how we moved the kitchen area from the back corner to where it is today by the welcome bar. Someone didn't like how it was arranged, so they changed it for the better. Sure, sometimes it's a bit difficult to find things in the space (I won't argue with you that we do need better organization), but I'd much rather have a somewhat organized space and not be able to find shrink tubing than have a filthy space where nothing is organized and scare off potential new members because "that place is a pigsty".

If we have policies saying that "Oh, you need to follow this SOP in order to clean the space", then people won't clean the space. If you place barriers between the membership and the do-ocratic nature of the space, then the do-ocracy dies.

Hi, we had a 3 month supply of heatshrink, yesterday. Really, no heatshrink bin, no big tube of it, no (what i thought was) hidden stash in the soldering area?

Consider me lois reacting to the lack of paper towels (except heatsink is to both create and fix, and paper towels usually can only repair).

As i've mentioned to a few people, I'll back any proposal that gives guidance to an expectation of a little more sludge in massively rearranging things without being an order or a procedure. Yes there are lots of areas that are not optimally arranged, and the needs change everyday, but there are a few people who aren't here everyday that are trying (desperately) to learn where everything is. <imo Let's steer the boat slower, it's too big to make these hairpin turns anymore /imo>

I don't for a second want to keep someone from rearranging something to one of the several better possibilities, but perhaps casually mention your better system in a meeting or on discuss@ as your doing it, make a sign where the objects used to be pointing towards where it is now. It's driving me crazy that the second I learn where something is it gets re-homed to a place that's far more diffrent than better. omni where did the hot glue sticks go!?!?

Am I alone in this?
