Minutes

Personal projects in the darkroom

Just like the rest of Noisebridge please be respectful about common space and leaving room for others to work in. Noisebridge doesn't provide any sort of safety or guaranty that personal items left in the space will be protected from others messing or using them. Noisebridge provides the User/Member shelves on the other end of the space for people to store personal projects in the space, but again that still somewhat falls under the general policy that Noisebridge can't provide folks with any guaranty of item safety. Some of us have been keeping some personal photo projects in the Darkroom with our names/emails/dates on them and try to keep those items out of the way of others working in the room. Please be courteous about leaving items in the Darkroom, it's a shared space, if you've got a project and it's a problem for someone, they'll totally do something about it and possibly make your project disappear. Leaving any personal consumables in the darkroom isn't advised, considering anything you leave in that room as a donation and treat it as such.
