How you can help
From ipswichmakerspace
Want to help make the space? There are always things that need hacking at, tidying, fixing, investigating, or flat out throwing away.
The incoming donations area usually has a motley array of nonsense in it that needs testing, triaging, fixing, salvaging, throwing out, or some combination thereof.
Working_Parties#Lesser_Tasks also contains a list of minor tasks that can be done during operating hours.
Software & setup
- Get the vinyl cutter working - some software has arrived, testing is needed.
- The PCs need some tinkering again; PC3/Centre (nearest grey cupboard) seems to only output VGA (or the monitor ignores DVI). It might be a BIOS setting issue; ignore the top graphics ports!
- PC2/Back (middle of the 3 PCs) seems to overscan; likely either graphics settings or monitor issue, but nothing obvious. DVI use may fix it.
- We have lots of monitors that need testing, then we can start to think about getting rid of our more vintage ones.
Sorting
- Generally compact and tessellate Palletron
- The incoming donations / salvage area is always a mess and a half. The useful stuff needs sorting, ideally testing, and most importantly putting away.
