07 / PROJECTS

Ideas become builds.

Projects are the practical heart of the hackerspace.

Projects

Projects are where OBS turns curiosity into things people can see, test, repair, use and learn from.

OPEN

COMMUNITY PROJECTS

Projects created for the hackerspace or the wider community.

PERSONAL

MEMBER PROJECTS

Personal builds that benefit from shared tools, knowledge and collaboration.

OPEN SOURCE

SHARED BUILDS

Projects documented so others can reproduce, modify or continue them.

LEARNING

EXPERIMENTS

Small experiments and failed prototypes are welcome when they teach us something.

Project documentation

Whenever practical, record the goal, materials, tools, code, diagrams, configuration, tests, problems, lessons learned and current status. Good documentation lets someone else pick up the work.

Project storage

Projects left in the space should be labelled and stored safely. Shared space is limited, so long-term storage should be agreed rather than assumed.
