== History ==<br />
This compressor, along with [[air compressor, 80-gallon (MAXair Premium)|the yellow 80-gallon compressor]], replaces [[air compressor, 80-gallon (Ingersoll Rand T30)|Kyle Paavola's 80-gallon air compressor]], which was removed on 2015-12-02.<br />
<br />
This compressor was offered by Byron on 2015-12-06 for either long-term loan or purchase by Protospace. Some members objected to any more equipment being brought in on a loan basis and insisted that everything must be owned by Protospace from now on. However, nobody assessed its value or made any proposal for Protospace to purchase it from Byron, so it has gone forward as a loan. Byron has indicated he'd like to have an agreement with Protospace if this compressor is to stay as a loan, but that has not been done as of 2016-01-01.<br />
<br />
Several members stepped up to install parts and do maintenance necessary to start using this compressor, as detailed in the admin list thread linked in the Documents section.</div>Boomalatorhttps://wiki.protospace.ca/index.php?title=Approved_Policies/Reimbursement_Policy&diff=3941Approved Policies/Reimbursement Policy2017-12-22T07:15:00Z<p>Boomalator: /* Procedure */</p>

<div>Protospace has a lot of traditions and things passed down by oral tradition. As the membership has grown, it's become necessary to codify some things into written policies.<br />
<br />
Policies are generally adopted by the membership at an Annual General Meeting, an Extraordinary General Meeting, or a monthly Members' Meeting. In some cases, a policy can be set by the Directors.<br />
<br />
As policies are adopted in a written form, they are [http://tinyurl.com/ps-policies being collected in one place], as well as posted here. Members can review the minutes of the appropriate meeting for additional background.<br />

== Friends of Protospace ==<br />
<b>Our <i>Friends</i> are valued supporters and donors who believe in Protospace, but don't necessarily participate. Some are former members who have moved away. Some are parents or guardians of underage student members, or spouses of members. Other are just enthusiastic supporters of the maker culture. Friends are always welcome in the space, but they must be accompanied by a member except at public events. Friends cannot vote on member issues, and may have limited access to some tools or programs. <i>We love and thank our friends for their donations and support!</i></b><br />

<br />
<i>Friends usually donate $10 per month, or $110 per year. Larger donations may be made through a director or as a one-time payment.</i><br />
<br />
== Which Payment Method is "best"? ==<br />
Thanks for asking. Seriously. It's great that members want to get the best bang for our membership buck. The "best" method is whatever works to keep your dues current. For many of us, that's using a Paypal Subscription. Paypal transactions are processed automatically, so there is zero administrative effort. If you just want the simplest, quickest answer, then what's best is usually "'''please start a PayPal subscription'''". Links are above.<br />
<br />
But, wait, you ask, doesn't that cost us a lot of money? The typical rate, at our volume, for any online or card transaction is between 2.75 and 3.1 percent. <br />
<br />
Here's how you can save Protospace money on processing fees:<br />
* Pay annually, using Cash, Cheque or Interac Transfer<br />
* Use manual paypal payments (not subscriptions) using your bank account or paypal balance (not a credit card)<br />
<br />
For monthly payments the amount of work to manually process the payment outweighs the processing fee. '''If you are doing monthly payments, just use a subscription'''.</div>Boomalatorhttps://wiki.protospace.ca/index.php?title=Approved_policies&diff=2325Approved policies2016-09-09T19:10:00Z<p>Boomalator: </p>

<b>Our <i>Friends</i> are valued supporters and donors who believe in Protospace, but don't necessarily participate. Some are former members who have moved away. Some are parents or guardians of underage student members, or spouses of members. Other are just enthusiastic supporters of the maker culture. Friends are always welcome in the space, but they must be accompanied by a member except at public events. Friends cannot vote on member issues, and may have limited access to some tools or programs. <i>We love and thank our friends for their donations and support!</i></b><br />

<br />
<i>Friends usually donate $10 per month, or $110 per year. Larger donations may be made through a director or as a one-time payment.</i><br />
<br />
== Which Payment Method is "best"? ==<br />
Thanks for asking. Seriously. It's great that members want to get the best bank for our membership buck. The "best" method is whatever works to keep your dues current. For many of us, that's using a Paypal Subscription. Paypal transactions are processed automatically, so there is zero administrative effort. If you just want the simplest, quickest answer, then what's best is usually "'''please start a PayPal subscription'''". Links are below.<br />
<br />
But, wait, you ask, doesn't that cost us a lot of money? We have enough volume that we actually get a slight discount. We pay about 2.65%. The typical rate, at our volume, for any online or card transaction is between 2.5 and 3.0 percent. <br />
<br />
Here's how you can save Protospace money on processing fees:<br />
* Pay annually, using Cash, Cheque or Interac Transfer<br />
* Use manual paypal payments (not subscriptions) using your bank account or paypal balance (not a credit card)<br />
<br />
For monthly payments the amount of work to manually process the payment far outweighs the processing fee. '''If you are doing monthly payments, just use a subscription'''.</div>Boomalatorhttps://wiki.protospace.ca/index.php?title=Set_up_a_payment&diff=2280Set up a payment2016-07-02T16:58:10Z<p>Boomalator: </p>

[https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=YP7LNJX3KZKL6 One-time Donation of $10]<br />
<br />
<i>Friends usually donate $10 per month, or $110 per year. Larger donations may be made through a director or as a one-time payment.</i><br />
<br />
== Which Payment Method is "best"? ==<br />
Thanks for asking. Seriously. It's great that members want to get the best bank for our membership buck. The "best" method is whatever works to keep your dues current. For many of us, that's using a Paypal Subscription. Paypal transactions are processed automatically, so there is zero administrative effort. If you just want the simplest, quickest answer, then what's best is usually "'''please start a PayPal subscription'''". Links are below.<br />
<br />
But, wait, you ask, doesn't that cost us a lot of money? We have enough volume that we actually get a slight discount. We pay about 2.65%. The typical rate, at our volume, for any online or card transaction is between 2.5 and 3.0 percent. <br />
<br />
Here's how you can save Protospace money on processing fees:<br />
* Pay annually, using Cash, Cheque or Interac Transfer<br />
* Use manual paypal payments (not subscriptions) using your bank account or paypal balance (not a credit card)<br />
<br />
For monthly payments the amount of work to manually process the payment far outweighs the processing fee. '''If you are doing monthly payments, just use a subscription'''.</div>Boomalatorhttps://wiki.protospace.ca/index.php?title=Set_up_a_payment&diff=2279Set up a payment2016-07-02T16:37:51Z<p>Boomalator: /* One Time Payment */</p>

<hr />
<div>Waaaaay back in July 2014, Aaron suggested that a Protospace ID card would be helpful for members to identify themselves, particularly when new (probationary) members arrive at the space door, seeking someone to accompany or supervise them in the space. So, a few waves of a magic wand later, and the Protospace ID card was born.<br />
<br />
There are a different styles and options available and things may continue to change. This isn't a high security card, it's more of a name-tag with a picture.<br />
<br />
Update: the ID card is now the default RFID key for the space, and is also used for discounts at local vendors.<br />
<br />
== How do I get one? ==<br />
=== In person ===<br />
Send your smiling mug to info@protospace.ca. In a pinch, bring it on a USB stick. Do this before you are getting vetted. If you want to get a new RFID card speak to the issuer of RFID cards, asking him nicely if he will please reprogram the door to accept a new card for you.<br />
<br />
=== By email ===<br />
Pick a style from the choices, and send an email to Byron at byronhynes@gmail.com. Attach a decent head shot photograph of yourself. This is not a dating site. Be tasteful. Indicate when you joined if desired (or if you are a new member). Let us know if you want to replace/update an RFID card/fob or just need a plastic one for discounts.<br />
<br />
Plain plastic cards and non-activated RFID cards can be left for you at the space. Active RFID cards will need to be claimed in person.<br />
<br />
Before issuing a card, we verify that you are a member, and what your membership status is. If you are not current on dues, you will need to catch up to get a card.<br />
<br />
== Is there a cost? ==<br />
There is no cost to members.<br />
<br />
Obviously, printer ribbons and blank cards aren't free, but the supplies are minimal -- the ribbon and blank plastic card costs less than a dollar, depending on shipping, and a new RFID card is under a dollar. If you lose or destroy your card, a contribution of a toonie each time you replace a card would be excellent, a loonie would be cool, but this is not required.<br />
<br />
== What do they look like? ==<br />
See the [[#Sample Images|sample image gallery]] below.<br />
<br />
== What about lanyards and holders? ==<br />
# Staples.<br />
# I like putting my event name tags on 1/8" rope with a [http://www.surreyknots.org.uk/2-lanyard-knot.htm lanyard knot] above a loop for the card, and a two [http://www.animatedknots.com/doublefishermans/index.php?Categ=climbing&LogoImage=LogoGrog.jpg&Website=www.animatedknots.com sliding fisherman's bends] as stoppers on the ends, which can adjust the length. I have rope at the space. :)<br />
# Get your workplace to donate a handful.<br />
# Oh, and you took the safety course, right? '''It would be really foolish''' to wear this around your neck near any spinning machinery in the shop.<br />
<br />
== Policies ==<br />
Sure, we'll call them "policies" because it sounds official. It really just means I wanted a heading.<br />
<br />
=== Nicknames ===<br />
You may put your nickname on instead of your first name. You may make it the prominent text. However, since this is an ID card, your first initial or first name, as well as your last name, must appear on the card. <br />
<br />
=== New (Probationary) Members ===<br />
New members may have ID cards once they have completed a form and paid their first dues, however, the card will not open the door and may look different. One reason for having an ID card was so that new members could "introduce" themselves when asking for access to the space from full members. While the bright yellow hazard-tape graphic was kinda cool, it was a bit over the top.<br />
<br />
== Types of ID Cards ==<br />
There are two options currently available, plain plastic cards, and printing on your RFID card.<br />
<br />
=== Plain Plastic ===<br />
A plain plastic member ID card is available to all members, including probationary members who have not yet been vetted. Probationary member cards may look different to clearly indicate that they are not a key. <br />
<br />
=== RFID Card ===<br />
Bring your RFID card to Boomalator (Byron) and he will print your ID card onto the RFID card. If you are not a full (vetted) member, then you won't have an active RFID card, so this is normally only available to full members, who are over the age of majority, and have their own RFID card for the space. If you are expecting to be vetted shortly, and ask nicely, you might be able to get your RFID card (but not yet have it active) if that's efficient and convenient for everyone involved.<br />
<br />
== Is there a security risk? ==<br />
One school of thought in security is that an ID badge should have minimal information, so that the evil-doer who steals a card doesn't know what to do with it. That's one reason, for example, the address of the space isn't printed on the card. It's possible that a bad guy could look up "Protospace", get the address, and then try to use the card to bluff his way in.<br />
<br />
I believe that since we aren't that big an organization, such tactics would be noticed. <br />
<br />
However, putting information on the card - especially the RFID cards - does mean that the member (that's you!) needs to exercise a modicum of vigilance. Here are some mitigating factors that keep us secure:<br />
<br />
# Do not give out the Alarm Code to anyone, unless you are the one welcoming a new full (vetted) member<br />
# Do not ever, ever use a Sharpie to write the Alarm Code on your RFID card (even a blank one). No, not even then. Never.<br />
# Ensure that the Alarm is on when you leave and secure the space.<br />
# If you lose, misplace, give away, fold, spindle or mutilate your RFID card, or if it is stolen, email info@protospace.ca and ask that it be deactivated. If it turns up, it can be turned back on. We'd much rather spend 50 cents replacing a card than deal with unauthorized entry.<br />
<br />
== What else can we do? ==<br />
Name tags for events... commemorative special issues... barcodes... the mark of the beast?<br />
<br />
Sure, why not.<br />
<br />
== Would you make name tags for <insert other community event>? ==<br />
Most likely. Ping me.<br />
<br />
This printer was actually bought to do souvenir name tags at a large scout function a while back. The kids loved them.<br />

<br />
== I have a great idea for a design! ==<br />
The card dimensions are 2.13 inches by 3.38 inches (CR80, same as a credit card).<br />
The software takes any common graphic format, including Photoshop PSD.<br />
<br />
The printer doesn't do full bleed very well, especially on the short edge, so I just leave a 1.25mm white border, which I think looks neater.<br />
The text is added by the software, and don't forget to leave space for punch on the top.</div>Boomalatorhttps://wiki.protospace.ca/index.php?title=Welcome_to_Protospace&diff=1752Welcome to Protospace2015-11-22T04:11:44Z<p>Boomalator: </p>

<hr />
<div>== What are the facilities? ==<br />
<br />
We have a bay, usually called 'The Space', at [http://goo.gl/maps/Z4NCn #108 1530 27 Ave NE Calgary]<br />
<br />
== Equipment and materials ==<br />
<br />
Well, we maintain a list of [[Tools We Have]] as well as a handy look up for places to [[Where_to_source_tools_and_materials | source materials]]<br />
<br />
== What are the open hours? ==<br />
<br />
Open to the public? Well we host a "Meet & Geek" open house every Tuesday night (after 7pm), which is also the weekly social event for Members. Guests are welcome to show up then and see the space, bring their own projects, stop and ask anyone what they're working on, solicit some feedback or share ideas, or get a tour or sign up for their own membership.<br />
<br />
Open, for Members to use? 24/7. There are no noise restrictions so you can run tools as late or early as you please. If you are a Probationary Member, then you can come whenever you can convince someone else to show up and sponsor you to be at the space.<br />
<br />
== What is the sign up process? ==<br />
<br />
The best way to find out how Protospace works is drop by one of our open house nights -- held every Tuesday, beginning at 10. You can meet people, have a tour, see things in action, find out how it works, and get your questions answered.<br />
<br />
After you know about Protospace, fill in a Membership Application and sign the Waiver and Release form. You can fill out the form online, but we need a printed, signed copy given over in person. Once you've submitted an application, and paid your first dues, you can enjoy a probationary or trial membership. During this trial period, meet more people, try stuff out, and take care the other details (like attending a New Member orientation), so that you can become a vetted keyholder. You can find out all of the details about signing up at an open house!<br />
<br />
== Who is it suited to? ==<br />
<br />
Everyone.<br />
<br />
== Who is it not suited to? ==<br />
<br />
People who are not excellent to others.<br />
<br />
== What training (safety, etc) do you need? ==<br />
<br />
Protospace offers a number of member-to-member courses, classes, seminars and workshops, generally led by volunteers. Most of these are either about our tools, or about the skills need to make things with our tools. You can see the list of current classes at https://my.protospace.ca/school.<br />
<br />
== What are the membership options? ==<br />
<br />
A Keyholder is a vetted member, sometimes called a "full" member with 24x7 access to the space. A subsidized rate is available for students and other with limited income.<br />
<br />
For those people who never come on their own, but want to come with their "friend" who is a member, a "Friend Membership" is available. Friend Members do not get an access card or storage shelf, and must be accompanied by a keyholder at all times. <br />
<br />
== Is there a minimum membership term? ==<br />
<br />
No, there is no minimum time or "contract". However, we do not offer "drop in" or "single month" memberships -- if you chose to stop being a member, you must go through the one month Probationary period again, to rejoin. (We allow a "vacation period" annually if requested).<br />
<br />
== Schedule of events/training/regular meet up times/etc ==<br />
<br />
The calendar on the main web site is kept fairly up-to-date. Dates of training events are also on the "school" section of my.protospace.ca. Other than that, monitoring the "protospace-discuss" Google group is probably the best way to hear what's going on.<br />
<br />
== How do you get involved? (and not feel like an outsider) ==<br />
<br />
Lots of people often fish on the mailing list for help on projects. Often at times you can come to a Tuesday Meet & Geek and people will be spitballing ideas and they turn into projects. Be a spitballer.<br />
<br />
== How to gain entry/security/keys ==<br />
<br />
You need to be [[FAQ#What_is_the_sign_up_process.3F|a Full Member]]<br />
<br />
== Can I use all of the equipment? ==<br />
<br />
Anything that doesn't require training is available to you after you complete the New Member Orientation and General Safety seminar. Larger, more dangerous or more specialized equipment require training. Generally, these machines are labelled, as well as noted on the [[Tools We Have]] page.<br />
<br />
== When can I visit? ==<br />
<br />
Tuesday evenings are the best time to meet the most people. It is the only scheduled time for public to attend. If this does not work for you, inquire and someone may be willing to give you a tour some other day.<br />
<br />
== If I join, when can I use the space? ==<br />
<br />
Once you become a vetted keyholder, you can use the space anytime you like, 24x7. For the first month, you will be a Probationary Member and can use the space when accompanied or supervised by a vetted keyholder. <br />
<br />
== How much does it cost? ==<br />
<br />
Our membership rate is $50 per month.<br />
A subsidized rate of $30 is available to students and those in need.<br />
You can join as a friend of a keyholder (without your own key or shelf), or as a supporter (donor) for $10 per month or more.<br />
<br />
When you first sign up, if you pay for your first two months together, we'll give you a third month free. <br />
At any time, if you pay for a full year, you get a free month (12 for the price of 11).<br />
<br />
== How can I pay? ==<br />
<br />
# Paypal to info@protospace.ca or https://paypal.me/protospace.<br />
# Interac Email Transfer to info@protospace.ca<br />
# Credit card payments through Paypal or Square<br />
# Cash or cheque in person (get a receipt).<br />
# Need another arrangement? Speak to a director.<br />
# Sorry, we cannot accept debit.<br />
<br />
== Can I store my stuff there or do I have to take it home each time? ==<br />
<br />
Full members get a shelf.<br />
<br />
If the space you need is larger than can be fit on the shelf you need to pitch it to the membership as [Large Project Storage]<br />
<br />
== Will you teach me to ...? ==<br />
<br />
Depends on who I am. Depends on what ... is. Most Protopians will help out if they can. If they can't they will usually point you at someone who will. Keep in mind that everyone is there on their own time, do not expect them to drop everything to train or show you something.<br />
<br />
We tend to be a helpful community that is willing to share, teach, and learn. It's reasonable to ask.<br />
<br />
== Are other people interested in the same things I am? ==<br />
<br />
Odds are good. Probably frighteningly good. <br />
<br />
== I have a great idea, but I don't know how to do it, will you help me? ==<br />
<br />
Maybe not me, but someone will. Throw up a question on the discussion list and watch the ensuing madness of ideas rushing through the internet towards your email client.<br />
<br />
== Can I make things that I sell? ==<br />
<br />
Sure. If you make use of a machine and it requires consumables or you push it through more than enough wear to cause damage, you will be expected to monetarily compensate the space. Also, we are not a production shop. You can't reasonably turn Protospace into an assembly facility. If your production stands in the way of others wanting to reasonably use the space, you may have to answer some hard questions.<br />
<br />
== How can I get more information? ==<br />
<br />
The [FAQ] is a good start :)<br />
<br />
The discussion list on Google Groups is a great way to communicate with members.<br />
<br />
Coming out to a Meet & Geek will get you introduced to lots of folks.</div>Boomalatorhttps://wiki.protospace.ca/index.php?title=Frequently_asked_questions&diff=1750Frequently asked questions2015-11-22T03:40:36Z<p>Boomalator: /* What is the sign up process? */</p>
<hr />
<div>== What are the facilities? ==<br />
<br />
We have a bay, usually called 'The Space', at [http://goo.gl/maps/Z4NCn #108 1530 27 Ave NE Calgary]<br />
<br />
== Equipment and materials ==<br />
<br />
Well, we maintain a list of [[Tools We Have]] as well as a handy look up for places to [[Where_to_source_tools_and_materials | source materials]]<br />
<br />
== What are the open hours? ==<br />
<br />
Open to the public? Well we host a "Meet & Geek" open house every Tuesday night (after 7pm), which is also the weekly social event for Members. Guests are welcome to show up then and see the space, bring their own projects, stop and ask anyone what they're working on, solicit some feedback or share ideas, or get a tour or sign up for their own membership.<br />
<br />
Open, for Members to use? 24/7. There are no noise restrictions so you can run tools as late or early as you please. If you are a Probationary Member, then you can come whenever you can convince someone else to show up and sponsor you to be at the space.<br />
<br />
== What is the sign up process? ==<br />
<br />
The best way to find out how Protospace works is drop by one of our open house nights -- held every Tuesday, beginning at 10. You can meet people, have a tour, see things in action, find out how it works, and get your questions answered.<br />
<br />
After you know about Protospace, fill in a Membership Application and sign the Waiver and Release form. You can fill out the form online, but we need a printed, signed copy given over in person. Once you've submitted an application, and paid your first dues, you can enjoy a probationary or trial membership. During this trial period, meet more people, try stuff out, and take care the other details (like attending a New Member orientation), so that you can become a vetted keyholder. You can find out all of the details about signing up at an open house!<br />
<br />
== Who is it suited to? ==<br />
<br />
Everyone.<br />
<br />
== Who is it not suited to? ==<br />
<br />
People who are not excellent to others.<br />
<br />
== What training (safety, etc) do you need? ==<br />
<br />
There is an official safety course for Protospace. This course is a first step in several other courses. Some of the equipment in the space requires training before you can use it, others you just need to be able to handle without hurting yourself or others. Equipment that requires training is usually detailed in the [[Tools We Have]] page and should be flagged in person with a card saying such.<br />
<br />
== What are the membership options? ==<br />
<br />
Full Member and Friend Member. For Students/Fixed Income/Low Income/Senior/Etc we offer Full Membership at a reduced rate. Friend Members do not get an access card or storage shelf, but can come and use tools under any Full Member's supervision/sponsorship that will be accountable for them (good if you have a friend who's a member that you only ever show up with).<br />
<br />
== Is there a minimum membership term? ==<br />
<br />
Membership is paid monthly, but there is no minimum number of months. We discourage toggling membership month to month, which is also inconvenient to the Member. When membership is terminated, Members must go through the one month Probationary period again, without an access card. (We allow a membership to be paused once a year at most, if announced).<br />
<br />
== Schedule of events/training/regular meet up times/etc ==<br />
<br />
Nothing formal. The best way to keep track of this is to watch the mailing list or speak up about your interest.<br />
<br />
== How do you get involved? (and not feel like an outsider) ==<br />
<br />
Lots of people often fish on the mailing list for help on projects. Often at times you can come to a Tuesday Meet & Geek and people will be spitballing ideas and they turn into projects. Be a spitballer.<br />
<br />
== How to gain entry/security/keys ==<br />
<br />
You need to be [[FAQ#What_is_the_sign_up_process.3F|a Full Member]]<br />
<br />
== Can I use all of the equipment? ==<br />
<br />
Anything that doesn't require training is available right off the hop. Some of the larger (and more dangerous) machines require training. These are labelled in person and on the [[Tools We Have]] page.<br />
<br />
== When can I visit? ==<br />
<br />
Tuesday evenings are the best time to meet the most people. It is the only scheduled time for public to attend. If this does not work for you, inquire and someone may be willing to give you a tour some other day.<br />
<br />
== If I join, when can I use the space? ==<br />
<br />
24/7 when you are a Full Member. For the first month, you will be a Probationary Member and can use the space but your access to the space must be sponsored and supervised (loosely) by a Full Member.<br />
<br />
== How much does it cost? ==<br />
<br />
For a Full Member, $50/month.<br />
For a Full Member who is a Student/Low Income/Fixed Income/Senior, pay what you can afford and make the rest up in volunteering, as low as $30/month.<br />
For a Friend Member, $10/month.<br />
<br />
If you pay for your first two months together, you get 3 months for the price of 2.<br />
<br />
Because it's easier on our volunteer accountants, if you pay for a full year at a time (any year), you get a free month.<br />
<br />
== How can I pay? ==<br />
<br />
# Paypal is easiest for everyone.<br />
# Cash (get a receipt).<br />
# Cheque, payable to "Calgary Protospace Ltd."<br />
<br />
== Can I store my stuff there or do I have to take it home each time? ==<br />
<br />
Full members get a shelf.<br />
<br />
If the space you need is larger than can be fit on the shelf you need to pitch it to the membership as [Large Project Storage]<br />
<br />
== Will you teach me to ...? ==<br />
<br />
Depends on who I am. Depends on what ... is. Most Protopians will help out if they can. If they can't they will usually point you at someone who will. Keep in mind that everyone is there on their own time, do not expect them to drop everything to train or show you something.<br />
<br />
We tend to be a helpful community that is willing to share, teach, and learn. It's reasonable to ask.<br />
<br />
== Are other people interested in the same things I am? ==<br />
<br />

== I have a great idea, but I don't know how to do it, will you help me? ==<br />
<br />
Maybe not me, but someone will. Throw up a question on the discussion list and watch the ensuing madness of ideas rushing through the internet towards your email client.<br />

<div>Protospace has a lot of traditions and things passed down by oral tradition. As the membership has grown, it's become necessary to codify some things into written policies.<br />
<br />
Policies are generally adopted by the membership at an Annual General Meeting, an Extraordinary General Meeting, or a monthly Members' Meeting. In some cases, a policy can be set by the Directors.<br />
<br />
As policies are adopted in a written form, they are [http://tinyurl.com/ps-policies being collected in one place], as well as posted here. Members can review the minutes of the appropriate meeting for additional background.<br />

<div>'''What is Protospace?'''<br />
<br />
Protospace is a private members club located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Members pay monthly dues for access to a workshop with a collection of shared tools and space. The workshop is a collaborative space where members share not only communal tools but also pool their unique knowledge and points of view to develop new skills. The space is available 24/7 to full members.<br />
<br />
'''Membership levels'''<br />
<br />
There are two levels of membership. They are determined by a member’s ability and choice to pay dues. The levels are:<br />
<br />
''Full membership - $50 to $unlimited/month''<br />
<br />
Members receive 24/7 access to the space, one (1) shelf for personal storage and their own dedicated key fob with identity number. Members receive access to certain restricted tools and machines at the space after proper training. Members have full voting rights.<br />
<br />
''Friend membership - $10 to $49/month''<br />
<br />
Friend members have 24/7 supervised access to the space, meaning that Friends are welcome to come down and use the space with the understanding that they are required to be supervised by a full member with a dedicated key fob. As a courtesy to the keyholder member, friend members are expected to arrive/leave at the same time or after/before supervising members. Friend members can not leave projects or personal effects at the space without prior notification and approval from other members. Friend members receive access to certain restricted tools and machines at the space after proper training. Friend members have no voting rights.<br />
<br />
In the event a potential member is not able to meet the fiscal obligations of either level of membership, they are encouraged to talk privately with other members to work out alternative monetary arrangements that meet one of the two above categories.<br />
<br />
Membership cannot and will not be awarded in exchange for goods and/or services.<br />
<br />
'''Joining Protospace'''<br />
<br />
Protospace is open to the public every Tuesday between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm. Potential members are invitied to attend, meet some current members and check out the space and some of the current projects that members are working on. <br />
<br />
To join:<br />
<br />
* Fill out the application form, available at the space.<br />
* Pay your first dues<br />
* Spend at least one month (four weeks), and up to three months, on a "trial membership" (often called a "probationary member")<br />
* During your trial membership, get to know some of us, and let us get to know you. You can work on projects, take training and use the space.<br />
* During your trial membership, get two sponsorship signatures from existing members. These signatures verify that the members have talked to you at length and will vouch for your candidacy as a member. <br />
<br />
After the probationary period, you can become a full member by being "vetted". That process is described in [[Approved Policies]]<br />
<br />
Note: the probationary period does not start until the dues are paid.<br />
Note: the probationary period does not apply to friend members, as such members do not receive keys or voting rights. <br />
<br />
'''Terminating membership'''<br />
<br />
Updated January 2015. See [[Approved Policies]]<br />
<br />
'''Being a Member'''<br />
<br />
Protospace is a “do-ocracy”. Members are asked to keep all common workspaces clean, to ensure that no food waste or other vermin-encouraging waste is left behind and to be excellent to each other. The space is used by many different members over the course of the week and members may be using the space to host guest events. All items in the space, including cleaning supplies, refreshments, and tools (large and small) are donated. All tools and common areas are to be treated with respect. If a member or guest takes an item from the fridge, they are requested to leave a donation in lieu. Suggested donation amounts are located on the fridge door. If a member or guest uses a large amount of a common item, like dish soap or hand sanitizer, they are requested to replace the item or to donate cash towards replacing the item. The cardinal rule of Protospace is “Be Excellent to Each Other” and members are expected to treat the space and the other members with the utmost respect.<br />
<br />
'''Being Excellent'''<br />
<br />
Protospace is a safe environment free from harassment, disrespect and bullying. Members are expected to act with discretion and to engage in respectful behaviour with all other members and invited guests.<br />
<br />
In the event that a member is consistently observed making disrespectful comments or acting in a disrespectful manner, a member can table a vote at the subsequent monthly meeting regarding the future membership privileges of the infractionary member, up to and including termination of membership.<br />
<br />
'''Equipment Training:'''<br />
<br />
Select machines and equipment at Protospace are considered restricted equipment for the following reasons:<br />
<br />
- The machine is considered dangerous to the operator or people nearby;<br />
<br />
- The machine requires specialized knowledge to operate properly ; or<br />
<br />
- The owner has placed special restrictions on it.<br />
<br />
In order to operate said machines, members are required to be trained in the safe operation of the equipment. In some cases the training may be assumed by convincing the qualified users or the owner of the equipment that you are qualified to safely operate the equipment. The purpose of the training has three priorities (in decreasing order of importance):<br />
<br />
- To ensure the safety of the members<br />
<br />
- To avoid damage or undue wear to the equipment.<br />
<br />
- To assist in productive use of the equipment<br />
<br />
'''Meetings'''<br />
<br />
Member meetings are held at the space on the second Saturday of every month at 2:00 pm. The agenda must be finalized 24 hours before the beginning of the meeting to allow all members time to review agenda items and prepare any responses or thoughts on agenda items. Agenda items posted after 2:00 pm on the Friday before the meeting will be moved to the subsequent monthly meeting.<br />
<br />
Protospace’s fiscal year begins June 1 and ends May 31. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is to be held no more than 40 days after 12:00 am on June 1. The meeting is held to approve the Board of Directors for the fiscal year and to transact other business as necessary.<br />
<br />
'''Voting at meetings'''<br />
<br />
(Note: Voting methods were changed by special resolution. See the corporate documents for details.)<br />
<br />
Votes require a 90% approval to carry.<br />
<br />
Voting can be done by show of hands. Any vote can be put to secret ballot provided a member generates the ballots and two (2) members review the ballots after voting.<br />
<br />
'''Directors'''<br />
<br />
Protospace elects directors on a yearly basis. Any full member who is current on his or her dues can run for directorship. Directors are signing authorities on the bank account and can collect and deposit dues and write cheques for rent and utilities. Directors also approve all promotional materials and any documents for public distribution. The legal responsibility of the Directors is described in our [http://tinyurl.com/ps-corpreg Corporate Documents].<br />
<br />
Protospace has made a conscious decision to not appoint officers and all items requiring sign off (be it a fiscal or legal matter) are to go through the directors.<br />
<br />
The directors of Calgary Protospace Ltd. elected on June 14th 2014, were:<br />
<br />
:Alan Ferguson<br />
:Ben Eadie<br />
:Janet Mader<br />
:Jim Akeson<br />
:Kevin Loney<br />
:Shannon Hoover<br />
<br />
Subsequently, changes have occurred and an extraordinary general meeting was called to elect additional directors. As of December 1, 2014, the 2014-2015 directors are:<br />
<br />
:Alan Ferguson<br />
:Shannon Hoover<br />
:Byron Hynes<br />
:Mike Morrow<br />
:Jamie Frost<br />
<br />
The directors can be accessed directly by members through the Protospace Administration list or by emailing [mailto:directors@protospace.ca].<br />
<br />
The Board is set at no less than two (2) directors and no more than seven (7). As such, the Board may see it fit to elect additional directors during the fiscal year. Per the Articles of Association, this can be done at a member meeting or the Board can decide to appoint a director as they see fit.<br />
<br />
'''Guest Policy'''<br />
<br />
Members are allowed to host guest events including open houses, public talks and workshops. There are several policies surrounding open guest events:<br />
<br />
''Guest:''<br />
<br />
Guests are individuals who are not members of Protospace or Friends of Protospace. On non-open house nights, all guests will be required to sign in as guests of their sponsoring member or friend member. Guests are considered to be guests under the following circumstances:<br />
<br />
- Individuals visiting the space on a non-Tuesday evening on a one-off basis.<br />
<br />
- Individuals visiting the space on multiple non-Tuesday evening times up to:<br />
<br />
-- One (1) visit per week (Sunday-Saturday) up to eight (8) consecutive weeks;<br />
<br />
-- Two (2) visits per week up to four (4) consecutive weeks;<br />
<br />
-- Three (3) or more visits per week during a condensed period of time while working on an existing member project. Members are requested to <br />
give notice to the email list when bringing non-members into the space on a frequent basis.<br />
<br />
It is requested that guests are invited prior to travelling to and working at the space. Showing up uninvited at the space is considered abuse of privileges and guest rights may be revoked to non-member individuals on a case-by-case basis.<br />
<br />
'''Special Events:'''<br />
<br />
Members are welcome to host special events, including events with invited guests, at the space any time except Tuesday evenings (as the Tuesday night open house start and stop times are flexible, members are not permitted to host events ending later than 4:30 pm on Tuesday night or starting earlier than 12:00 am Wednesday morning). In the event a member wishes to schedule a guest event during that time (guest events on Tuesday evenings are defined as anything other than the usual unstructured open house schedule), the member is required to request the permission of the group on the member email list at least 72 hours before the commencement of the Tuesday open house. If two (2) or more members disagree with hosting the event, the member will not be permitted to host the event on that night. If a member does not announce the guest event to the list, they will not be permitted to host the event during that time.<br />
<br />
Special events can be held from Wednesday commencing at 12:00 am to Tuesday ending at 4:30 pm. If a member is hosting an event at the space, the member is requested to announce this to the other members by posting it to the Administration email list. Events lasting longer than five (5) hours require consensus minus one approval from the list, meaning no more than one (1) member disagrees with hosting the event. Dissenters must post their disagreement with the event prior to 72 hours of the event being posted to the list. If the event is posted between 12:00 am and 7:00 am, dissent must be posted 72 hours from 7:00 am after the event is posted.<br />
<br />
At no time, can a member allow a guest event to supercede the rights of other members to use the space within reason (ie: when a talk is scheduled, a member who is using the space for other purposes is expected to be quiet, but does not have to engage in the event at hand).</div>Boomalatorhttps://wiki.protospace.ca/index.php?title=Approved_policies&diff=1655Approved policies2015-02-17T21:41:41Z<p>Boomalator: </p>

<div>Protospace has a lot of traditions and things passed down by oral tradition. As the membership has grown, it's become necessary to codify some things into written policies.<br />
<br />
Policies are generally adopted by the membership at an Annual General Meeting, an Extraordinary General Meeting, or a monthly Members' Meeting. In some cases, a policy can be set by the Directors.<br />
<br />
As policies are adopted in a written form, they are [http://tinyurl.com/ps-policies being collected in one place], as well as posted here. Members can review the minutes of the appropriate meeting for additional background.<br />

This is *NOT* the official Member's Guidebook. That one is hosted here: [[Protospace Membership Guidebook]]. Maybe some day this one will become the new guidebook, but for now it's just some notes.<br />

=So I'm a Member, Now What?=<br />
<br />
'''Getting Access:'''<br />
<br />
Updated January 10, 2015 - Vetting is now described in [[Approved Policies]].<br />
<br />
If you have paid your first month's dues, you are now a probationary member for at least one month. After one month members will vote to decide if you are a friendly, trustworthy and beneficial member to the community. <br />
<br />
Now is a good time to think of something you could do to contribute to Protospace. Contributing back to the community is an excellent way to get to know others in the membership and allow people to form an opinion on you. If you can't think of anything to do, there's usually lots to be done so just ask around and tell people you'd like to help. No on can tell you what to do, anything you volunteer for is optional.<br />
<br />
Until you are vetted, you are equivalent to a Friend member. You may use tools for personal projects any time there is a Full Member supervising and responsible for you.<br />
<br />
Vetting usually happens at the Tuesday night get-togethers. If a month has passed and people forgot to vet you, just remind a director that it's time.<br />
<br />
=I've Paid My Dues, Time After Time, What Next?=<br />
<br />
'''Once you complete the vetting process you will:'''<br />
<br />
* be issued a personalized key fob that grants you 24/7 access to the building and to operate some locked down tools.<br />
* get to pick a vacant shelf to label as the one you store your stuff on. Label it.<br />
* have voting rights on membership issues.<br />
* be allowed to host events.<br />
* be given access to the administrative mailing list where members matters are discussed.<br />
<br />
A Director will walk you through this brief process.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Okay, That's Taken Care of, How Do I Do Stuff?=<br />
<br />
You are responsible for your own safety and the safety of others by your actions. Learn from a capable instructor how to operate any tools you intend to use. In addition, check the tools wiki before using a tool to check for usage notes, safety notes, or restrictions on tool use.<br />
<br />
For most tools that's all you need. You can let yourself into the building whenever you want and start working on projects right away.<br />
<br />
Some tools require specific Protospace training and certification before use because:<br />
<br />
* The machine is considered particularly dangerous to the operator or people nearby<br />
* The machine requires specialized knowledge to operate properly, or<br />
* The owner has placed special restrictions on it <br />
<br />
The purpose of training (in decreasing order of importance) is:<br />
<br />
* To ensure the safety of the members<br />
* To avoid damage or undue wear to the equipment<br />
* To assist in productive use of the equipment <br />
<br />
Training courses by volunteers are usually run once per month based on availability and need.<br />
<br />
'''Tools Requiring Training:'''<br />
<br />
* Laser cutter (contact Kevin Loney for training)<br />
* Metal Lathe (contact John Warga for training)<br />
* Metal Mill (currently no training program)<br />
* MaxNC Mini CNC Mill (currently no training program)<br />
* Table saw (currently no training program)<br />
* 3D Printers (currently no training program)<br />
<br />
People trained to use a machine are not necessarily trained to teach it to others. If you feel qualified to train others on a machine and would like to do so, speak up about it. Volunteers are often overworked.<br />
<br />
If you would like to bring in tools to donate or know someone who would, please speak up about it. Volunteers and vehicles are often available to help move larger eqiupment. Protospace has all its tools because of people like you. When you bring in a tool for communal use, please add it to the tool wiki so people know what it is and where it came from.<br />
<br />
<br />
=What About Materials?=<br />
<br />
Protospace stocks leftover and donated materials for its members to use for their projects. Among these are: acrylic and wood laser scraps, scrap metal, surplus electronic components, and others. These are stored in their respective common storage areas.<br />
<br />
These common storage areas are there for you to use so please do take advantage of them, especially for small and beginner projects. Common materials and components are free to use, but be reasonable. If you plan on using a large amount of common material, consider pitching your intended use to the community first, purchasing your own instead, or leaving a cash donation to Protospace as a thank you. <br />
<br />
Before using a piece, check it for labels. Occasionally members stock larger materials in the common areas. If you would like to leave a small amount of reserved material in the scrap area, label it with your name and hope others know not to use it.<br />
<br />
If you would like to donate material or components or know a company who would, please speak up about it. All the common material came from people like you.<br />
<br />
<br />
=How Can I Build Big Projects?=<br />
<br />
If you have a project in mind that won't fit on your shelf and isn't practical to take home every day, it might still be okay to build at Protospace. Speak up about your plans, their impact on others, and your timeline for having it finished and out of the space. These are decided on a case-by-case basis. Members are often enthusiastic about big exciting projects and willing to overlook the temporary inconvenience. Make sure you label everything and date when it was last worked on. Note that even if approved, Protospace is still a shared workspace. In most cases unless there's a labelled short-term reason why not to (paint drying, aligned but not welded, etc.), other members will move your project out of their way to accommodate their own builds.<br />
<br />
<br />
=How Do I Host Events?=<br />
<br />
The space is open for events with invited guests to be hosted at the space. Any time without other interfering scheduled events (eg. Tuesday Nights) is potentially okay. Speak up about it as soon as possible, but at least 3 days before the event so others have time to consider and comment. Note that approval would give you permission to host the event, but not exclusive rights to Protospace. Other members may be there doing other things. Feel free to invite guest speakers to Tuesday nights if you think there would be interest.<br />
<br />
<br />
=How Do I Speak Up About All These Things?=<br />
<br />
The administrative mailing list is the current tool used to announce and decide matters relevant to the membership. Just create a thread to explain what you'd like to do.<br />
<br />
<br />
=What Is Expected of Me?=<br />
<br />
Protospace has chosen to have minimal rules. The largest all-encompassing rule is: "Be Excellent to Each Other" which applies to almost every social and practical situation that occurs. Be respectful and mature towards everyone. Be gentle with the tools, speak up about tools you accidentally broke or tools you noticed that are broken that no one else mentioned. Clean up after yourself every visit and help clean up after others once in a while. Don't monopolize Protospace's space and resources. Watch the lights and heat, help keep our utility bills low. Do not give or loan others your access key. Common sense things but things to take seriously when you consider your future behavior. Members will hold you accountable for how you treat them and Protospace. When in doubt, just do your best to be excellent to others.<br />
<br />
<br />
=How Do Decisions Get Made?=<br />
<br />
Protospace is a "do-ocracy" where possible - those willing to do the work decide what to do and how to do it. If members want something done a certain way, they show up and help. Protospace does not yet have the luxury of too many volunteers. If you would like to do something non-permanent that you think makes Protospace a better place, just go do it. If you're timid, speak up about it and solicit feedback.<br />
<br />
For contentious decisions or decisions that affect the group as a whole, votes get made by the membership on a concensus basis. If you disagree with a donation, change, event, policy, or anything else proposed or done at Protospace, speak up about it in the appropriate place.<br />
<br />
Minor decisions are usually handled on the mailing list. Issues significant enough for an official vote wait for a meeting to occur. All meetings are optional. There are 3 tiers of meetings:<br />
<br />
1 - Weekly Tuesday meetings. These are informal and brief to bring members up to speed with happenings. Occasionally minor issue votes occur.<br />
<br />
2 - Monthly meetings. Usually held on the second Saturday of the month at 2pm to discuss significant issues. An agenda-in-progress is accessible to and writeable by all members up until 24 hours before the meeting. If you have something to present, an issue vote, or a topic that affects to the membership to discuss, add it to the agenda. Issues to be voted on should be added to the agenda 3 weeks in advance.<br />
<br />
3 - The Annual General Meeting. Held within 40 days of June 1st every year. Directors are elected, bilaws can be changed, and vision for the next year is determined.<br />
<br />
<br />
=What Role Do Director's Play?=<br />
<br />
Directors are elected volunteers responsible for Protospace meeting its legal obligations. They also manage Protospace's bills and finances. If you have any dues related issues, bring it up with one of them. Occasionally Directors handle private issues affecting specific members. Otherwise, they have no more significance, power or leadership than any other voting member.<br />
<br />
Directors as of this printing are: Jim Akeson, Kevin Loney, Janet Mader, Shannon Hoover, Alan Ferguson, Ben Eadie<br />
<br />
The directors can be accessed directly by members through the administration mailing list or by emailing directors@protospace.ca . Say thanks to them once in a while, they're overworked.<br />
<br />
<br />
=How Do I Quit?=<br />
<br />
Tell a Director you'd like to quit. All the steps taken for you to become a member will be reverted. Then continue being excellent away from Protospace. No hassles. Alternatively, if you fall behind on your dues for 2 months and make no attempt to contact a Director to make arrangements, it will be presumed you've quit and your key will be deactivated, shelf reclaimed, document access revoked, etc. Same result but the latter is a larger burden on our volunteers.<br />
<br />
<br />
=Anything Else?=<br />
<br />
Sure, there is lots more detail if you want to read. Protospace's actual bylaws are accessible by all members and you are welcome to read through them to learn more.<br />
