Lockers: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:29, 25 January 2016

Lockers are a shared resource at Noisebridge. In this post-scarcity economy, we’ve only got a finite number of ‘em. Please be excellent to your fellow hackers by making sure that you’re not holding an exclusive lock on any of these valuable resources!

HOW TO LOCKER AT NOISEBRIDGE

Subscribe to lockers@lists.noisebridge.net

Put a lock on a locker
Put a note/tag/sticker/whatever on the locker and keep it up to date with a last-modified date
Pay attention to lockers@lists.noisebridge.net
Party. Hard.

The Garbage Collector periodically sweeps over the lockers to find any without external references. If no references are found, the contents will be free’d and returned to the heap, aka hack shelves.

HOW TO BE A GARBAGE COLLECTOR

Announce the upcoming garbage collection pass to lockers@lists.noisebridge.net
Wait a reasonable period of time, some locker users might be out of town and need the extra time.
Cut off the locks from all the lockers that have last-modified dates older than one month and have not been claimed in response to the announcement.
Put the contents in the hack shelves/e-waste bins/biowaste area/whatever.

HOW TO NOT LOCKER AT NOISEBRIDGE

Go on vacation and leave it full of food
Cut a lock off a locker that isn’t yet stale
Get mad when your lock is cut off after a month of inactivity

+Lockers are a shared resource at Noisebridge. In this post-scarcity economy, we’ve only got a finite number of ‘em. Please be excellent to your fellow hackers by making sure that you’re not holding an exclusive lock on any of these valuable resources!
-<p>An attempt is being made to re-organize the member shelves, hack shelves, and also possibly day-use shelves into an organized set of lockers.</p>
+'''HOW TO LOCKER AT NOISEBRIDGE'''
-<p>As the plan exists now:</p>
+Subscribe to lockers@lists.noisebridge.net
-<ul>
+#Put a lock on a locker
-<li>Member shelves and day-use shelves would be consolidated into a set of lockers with doors on them.</li>
+#Put a note/tag/sticker/whatever on the locker and keep it up to date with a last-modified date
-<li>Lockers could be closed, so nobody else can see your stuff (out of sight, out of mind).</li>
+#Pay attention to lockers@lists.noisebridge.net
-<li>Lockers would be bring-your-own-lock, for added security.</li>
+#Party. Hard.
-<li>Lockers would also be numbered, for added anonymity because you don't need to write your name on it.</li>
-<li>Hack shelves would remain as separate shelves, publicly accessible to everybody.  Keeping hack shelves separate from the lockers will hopefully result in people feeling more confident in using stuff on the hack shelves.</li>
-</ul>
-<h2>Our current shelves</h2>
+The Garbage Collector periodically sweeps over the lockers to find any without external references. If no references are found, the contents will be free’d and returned to the heap, aka hack shelves.
-<p>Our current shelves are 13" deep x 12" tall.  An entire shelf is 48" wide.  An entire set of shelves is about 7'2" tall.</p>
-<h2>Our best option for new shelves</h2>
