== Everyday stuff for members ==

=== How do I give tours? ===
 
It's pretty simple, in principle: Just show people around and talk about all the cool stuff.  Some highlights to hit:
 
* Cool tools like 3D printers, laser cutter, etc.  Feel free to demo them.  Ask what sorts of things they're interested in.
* We're a non-profit run entirely by members volunteering
* Members get 24/7 access
* We often do classes, events, etc.
 
=== Someone wants to join, what do I do? ===
 
ezpz, direct them to https://hackpgh.org/get-involved/ .  All the sign-up stuff can happen there.  Honestly, we should have a shortcut to it on the shop computer, though I don't think we do.  They'll need to come to a member's meeting or open shop night to get a key from a board member though.
 
=== How do I take care of a tool? ===
 
This should be covered in tool training, and also really needs to be documented somewhere sane.  At the moment though, it's really down to asking someone who knows the tool how to care for it.
 
=== How do I lock up when I'm the last one leaving? ===
 
Check that:
 
* Lights are out
* Shop is vaguely clean
* No dirty dishes in sink
* No tools are left on.
 
=== I want to make a change to the shop, how do I do it? ===
 
It's your shop, go ahead and do it!  If someone doesn't like it, they're free to change it back.  :-P
 
That said, to prevent hysteresis (and hysteria), for changes much larger than moving stuff around or decorating things, it's probably best to at least bring it up at a member's meeting and see what people say.  If it's a large project for improving the space, such as painting, electrical work, etc then HackPGH will probably also pay for it.  If it's something that involves modifying the actual building though, such as altering walls, doors etc. then we might have to check with our landlord as well.
 
=== Onoez, I have a complaint! ===
 
That sucks!  We take complaints seriously.  Please email the Board at <code>info@hackpittsburgh.org</code> .  If you want to be anonymous, write it on a piece of paper and drop it in the safe.  That doesn't get checked regularly though, so get a friend to email the Board letting them know that the complaint is there.
