* We have standards now! Please do not add hodgepodge stuff to our network infrastructure. Please see parts list below.<br />
* The DHCP pool takes exactly 10.0.0.100 - 10.0.2.255 All devices in these ranges use a /23 subnet mask (255.255.254.0) and a default gateway of 10.0.0.1 .<br />
* What this means in layman's terms:<br />
** Any IP that starts with 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.99 is a static client (either hard coded or assigned via DHCP reservations).<br />
** Any IP that starts with 10.0.0.100 10.0.2.255 is a dynamic client.<br />
<br />
* The wireless access points come from the 24port gig switch there are 4 of them, Main room, Classroom, Boneyard, and Deadzone they are connected through POE injectors.<br />

<br />
== Router Details ==<br />
* Our router is a small unifi security appliance a white box on the shelf in the network rack.<br />
* It has four interfaces. We only use:<br />
** WAN - connects to POE injector by TARDIS<br />
** LAN - connects to Master switch<br />
* DHCP runs here.<br />
** controller is https://files:8443/<br />
<br />
== Switch Details ==<br />
* Everything is layer 2, the switches have an IP address only for management purposes.<br />
* The Master Switch is managed via 10.0.0.11, 01 is 12, 02 is 13, 03 is 14.<br />
* Everything stays on default vlan (VLAN 1).<br />
* Master is a 48 port gig switch stack. All other switches have 24 gigabit copper ports and two gigabit sfp ports.<br />
* For each access switch, ports 23 & 24 are in a Port Channel to provide redundancy and increase bandwidth.<br />
* On the master switch three different Port Channels are created (Po12-Po14) to support the three access switches.<br />
* If none of that made any sense, please just remember this: '''The links between switches have special configurations. Please do not move those cables around.'''<br />
* Spanning tree is enabled (with portfast) and bpdu guard. If you create a loop the ports will get disabled. SSH into the appropriate switch to re-enable it. All ports are labeled. <br />
** For example: A7 = port 7 on switch A. If it is disabled:<br />
<br />
<br />
==I need a static IP==<br />
* Instead of setting a static IP on your device, create a static lease in our router.<br />
===Why?===<br />
* Your device can still use DHCP but will get the same IP every time.<br />
* In some cases this can be much easier than manually setting a static IP.<br />
* If you take your device somewhere else it can still use DHCP.<br />
* You get a DNS entry.<br />
* Visibility. We can track things better if they're in our router. Manually setting IPs makes conflicts more likely.<br />
<br />
===How?===<br />
* Log into pfSense as admin at https://10.0.0.1/.<br />
** I'm not listing the creds on the wiki, any LVL1 member should be able to figure out the login.<br />
* On the top bar click Status, then DHCP Leases.<br />
* Scroll to the bottom of the page to pick your new IP.<br />
** For wired, you'll pick an IP that starts with 10.0.0 (within 10.0.0.0/24).<br />
** For wireless, pick an IP that starts with 10.0.2 (within 10.0.2.0/24).<br />
** The IPs listed are already taken. Pick something else and remember it or write it down for the next steps.<br />
** For good measure, do a quick ping test to make sure nothing else has taken that.<br />
* Scroll back up to the top of the page and find your device. You can use the MAC address, hostname (not reliable if we have multiple things called "raspberrypi") or your current IP. Newer leases are closer to the top. <br />
* Click the + on the right next to your device. <br />
* Enter the following:<br />
** IP Address: the ip address you picked earlier.<br />
** Hostname: what you want the hostname to be. This will also update DNS. Please be specific, bonus points for also using your name.<br />
*** Being a good member: aaronv-pi<br />
*** Being a bad member: raspberrypi<br />
** Everything else can be ignored.<br />
* Click Save.<br />
* Click Apply.<br />
* Renew your DHCP lease or, if you're lazy, reboot.<br />

* Our router is a small unifi security appliance a white box on the shelf in the network rack.<br />
* It has four interfaces. We only use:<br />
** WAN - connects to POE injector by TARDIS<br />
** LAN - connects to Master switch<br />
* DHCP runs here.<br />
** controller is https://files:8443/<br />
<br />
== Switch Details ==<br />
* Everything is layer 2, the switches have an IP address only for management purposes.<br />
* The Master Switch is managed via 10.0.0.11, 01 is 12, 02 is 13, 03 is 14.<br />
* Everything stays on default vlan (VLAN 1).<br />
* Master is a 48 port gig switch stack. All other switches have 24 gigabit copper ports and two gigabit sfp ports.<br />
* For each access switch, ports 23 & 24 are in a Port Channel to provide redundancy and increase bandwidth.<br />
* On the master switch three different Port Channels are created (Po12-Po14) to support the three access switches.<br />
* If none of that made any sense, please just remember this: '''The links between switches have special configurations. Please do not move those cables around.'''<br />
* Spanning tree is enabled (with portfast) and bpdu guard. If you create a loop the ports will get disabled. SSH into the appropriate switch to re-enable it. All ports are labeled. <br />
** For example: A7 = port 7 on switch A. If it is disabled:<br />
<br />
<br />
==I need a static IP==<br />
* Instead of setting a static IP on your device, create a static lease in our router.<br />
===Why?===<br />
* Your device can still use DHCP but will get the same IP every time.<br />
* In some cases this can be much easier than manually setting a static IP.<br />
* If you take your device somewhere else it can still use DHCP.<br />
* You get a DNS entry.<br />
* Visibility. We can track things better if they're in our router. Manually setting IPs makes conflicts more likely.<br />
<br />
===How?===<br />
* Log into pfSense as admin at https://10.0.0.1/<br />
** I'm not listing the creds on the wiki, any lvl1 member should be able to figure out the login<br />
* On the top bar click Status, then DHCP Leases<br />
* Scroll to the bottom of the page to pick your new IP<br />
** For wired, you'll pick an IP that starts with 10.0.0 (within 10.0.0.0/24)<br />
** For wireless, pick an IP that starts with 10.0.2 (within 10.0.2.0/24)<br />
** The IPs listed are already taken. Pick something else and remember it or write it down for the next steps.<br />
** For good measure, do a quick ping test to make sure nothing else has taken that.<br />
* Scroll back up to the top of the page and find your device. You can use the MAC address, hostname (not reliable if we have multiple things called "raspberrypi") or your current IP. Newer leases are closer to the top. <br />
* Click the + on the right next to your device. <br />
* Enter the following<br />
** IP Address: the ip address you picked earlier<br />
** Hostname: what you want the hostname to be. This will also update DNS. Please be specific, bonus points for also using your name.<br />
*** Being a good member: aaronv-pi<br />
*** Being a bad member: raspberrypi<br />
** Everything else can be ignored<br />
* Click Save<br />
* Click Apply<br />
* Renew your DHCP lease or, if you're lazy, reboot<br />

<br />
== Network Overview ==<br />
<br />
* We have standards now! Please do not add hodgepodge stuff to our network infrastructure. Please see parts list below.<br />
* The DHCP pool takes exactly 10.0.0.100 - 10.0.2.255 All devices in these ranges use a /23 subnet mask (255.255.254.0) and a default gateway of 10.0.0.1 .<br />
* What this means in layman's terms:<br />
** Any IP that starts with 10.0.0.1 - 10.0.0.99 is a static client (either hard coded or assigned via DHCP reservations).<br />
** Any IP that starts with 10.0.0.100 10.0.2.255 is a dynamic client.<br />
<br />
* The wireless access points come from the 24port gig switch there are 4 of them, Main room, Classroom, Boneyard, and Deadzone they are connected through POE injectors.<br />

* [[Metal Shop]]<br />
<br />
== Rules ==<br />
<br />
While it goes against LVL1's ethos to have too many rules, these are for your own personal safety, the safety of others, and consideration of others, which are definitely part of our ethos.<br />
<br />
Always:<br />
* Wear the proper safety equipment (especially safety glasses) when in workshop area. Safety glasses are available for your use in the corner of the wood shop by the door. Please clean them when you are finished before returning them to storage!<br />
* Wear shoes that cover the complete foot: no sandals or flip flops.<br />
* Familiarize yourself with the location of the first aid kit. This is located in the space's first-aid center, in the front of the common room, near the double doors to the larger storage areas.<br />
* Make sure you know where fire extinguishers are located. Large red and white vinyl "Fire Extinguisher" signs have been mounted on the walls to make this easier.<br />
* Clean up your mess. Brooms, dustpans, garbage cans and vacuums abound. Make use of them.<br />
* Put away any tools you used.<br />
* Let someone know if you break a power tool or a bit, blade or hand tool. It happens sometimes; just let someone know by contacting broken@lvl1.org.<br />
* ALWAYS CLEAN UP BEFORE YOU LEAVE.<br />
<br />
Never:<br />
* use a tool you are unfamiliar with. Ask someone if you aren't sure.<br />
* use a tool in a way it wasn't designed; this is the quickest way to break a tool or to get injured.<br />
* be in a rush. Rushing is how fingers are lost!<br />
* use a rag or towel near running equipment.<br />
* wear ties, loose clothing, jewelry, gloves, etc. when operating shop equipment.<br />
* use compressed air guns to clean clothing and hair. Use the Shop-Vac instead! <br />
* service a machine while it is on - Unplug wherever practical. <br />
* bring food or drink into the bunker area. Your food may become contaminated or be spilled into or onto equipment which can be difficult or dangerous to clean.<br />

<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== About LVL1 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
For a list of the Tools at lvl1, See http://wiki.lvl1.org/Equipment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of LVL1's space. They are down the hall and to the left out the door in the Main Work Area that leads into the rest of The Pointe.<br><br />
Set the timer near the door to have the door remain unlocked while you are in the bathroom.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops.<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. If you aren't sure, please ask a member or two if an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part that accidentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street. However, another smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last member to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Nearby Resources ==<br />
<br />
[http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=217369385395577844598.00048bac33ccfb6a6ec16&msa=0 Map of Louisville Hacker Resources]<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If it's your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach. (Recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date.<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics).<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop.<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop.<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies.<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />
<br />
'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through a PayPal auto-payment<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />

== What is LVL1? ==<br />
LVL1 is a hackerspace in Louisville, KY. The hackerspace is an open community lab and workshop democratically operated by it’s membership. We are friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at LVL1! We've got lots of '''cool tools and equipment'''. We've got a lot of '''really bright and creative people'''. We like to work on (and show off) '''fun and challenging technical projects'''.<br />
<br />
== How to get involved with LVL1 ==<br />
Does this sound like an endeavor you want to be a part of? ... Great! Come and join us!<br />
<br />
We highly recommend you show up for one of our Tuesday open meeting and open build nights! We briefly go through some membership agenda items. We tell you what's currently going on at the space. We tell you about any challenges the space is facing (technical or otherwise). People are free to talk about projects they are working on or planning. Then once the meeting is adjourned, free-for-all making continues. Everyone is free to work on projects, socialize and geek out. It's a great time to hang out with fellow geeks working on cool DIY tech projects. You'll probably get inspired! <br />
<br />
Again, we highly recommend you come to a meeting. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of our meeting attendees are ''not'' dues paying members and ''all of them are welcome''. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
You want to ease into LVL1 via the internets first? That's cool too. We've got this wiki, [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/lvl1 mailing lists], <br />
[http://http://www.lvl1.org/ blogs], [https://twitter.com/lvl1hackerspace twitters], etc. We especially recommend joining the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/lvl1 Google Group]. That's where most of your discussion happens. Note: this can generate a lot of emails per day. Set up your filters, use the daily digest or use the RSS feed.

== Location ==<br />
LVL1<br><br />
1205 E Washington St -- Suite LL100<br><br />
Louisville, KY 40206<br />
<br />
Latitude: 38.2567568,<br><br />
Longitude: -85.7291955<br />
<br />
LVL1 is located at 1205 East Washington Street in The Pointe complex. It is 8,800 square feet of awesomeness including a large meeting room, a classroom, a dedicated bunker for wood and metal shop, and storage.<br />
<br />
<font color="red"><big><big>NOTE: Our entrance can be a little tricky to find the first time. The Pointe has three parking lots and our entrance is at the bottom of a ramp in the medium sized one. It is on the other side of the main parking lot and accessible via the steps/ramp near the main entrance to The Pointe itself.</big></big></font><br />
<br />
''Parking''<br />
<br />
There are three parking lots at The Pointe that can be used, along with street parking. The main parking lot is easy to spot and borders both E Washington and Cabel St. The medium parking lot, where our entrance is found, has a slightly hidden entrance on Cabel St where the flood wall begins. The third parking lot is accessible via Franklin St. and though small is the most handicapped accessible of the three choices, in terms of getting into our space on the lower level. Please coordinate with a member to access the space this way; we're happy to help accommodate our fellow makers.<br />
<br />
Street parking is always available. Keep in mind that on some weekends The Pointe hosts weddings or events and parking may be harder to find.<br />

<hr />
<div>=== How do you pronounce LVL1? ===<br />
General consensus is it's pronounced 'level one'. <br />
<br />
=== Do I need to be a paying member to come to LVL1? ===<br />
No, we try to make sure our events are as open to the public as possible. Tuesday night meetings and open build at 8pm are open to anyone. In addition we have workshops and other open events that anyone can attend. Generally, we have an open door policy to let anyone into the space to work. This is contingent on members being at the space to let you in. If you'd like to know if people are at the space, or arrange a time to visit, your best bet is to post to the [http://groups.google.com/group/lvl1 LVL1 Google Group].<br />
<br />
=== I don't really want to be a member, but I'd like to support what LVL1 is doing. How can I help? ===<br />
Thanks! Join in on some of the projects and events we have going on. Spread the word about LVL1. That's what we consider helpful support. <br><br />
For financial support, you can sign up for either a one-time or recurring donation to LVL1. There's a link on the About page of our web site. http://www.lvl1.org/about/ Every little bit counts and we appreciate it.<br />
<br />
=== Are you a hackerspace or a makerspace? ===<br />
It doesn't matter. Hackerspace is the preferred term of the 'hackerspace movement'. Makerspace could be used when you don't want to scare someone who doesn't understand the true history of the word [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_Ethic hacker].<br />
<br />
=== Should I be scared that your hackerspace will break into my computer? ===<br />
No, that's not what we do at all. We use the term hacker in the historical 'creative use of technology' sense, not the media's 'boogeyman cybercriminal' sense.<br />
<br />
=== Will you hack into someone's facebook for me? ===<br />
No.<br />
<br />
=== I'd like to donate a bunch of stuff I don't use anymore. What can I give you? ===<br />
Well thank you! We do already have quite a lot of equipment. Please check out [[Equipment]] to see if your items would be unneeded duplicates. The amount of space we have is limited, so we have to be efficient about what we take in. :-)<br />
* We don't want any CRTs, tube TVs and tube computer monitors. These take up a lot of space and aren't useful in our modern flat screen world. <br />
* We have tons of old computer hardware, so we don't need any of that. Modern computer hardware would be appreciated though. <br />
* If you have broken electronics you want to donate, it'd help us greatly if you strip out useful components first (i.e. stepper motors, power supplies, things like that).<br />
* We appreciate any and all donations, but please try to be thoughtful of about what is useful. We want to avoid using LVL1's space for electronic waste storage! :-)<br />
<br />
=== What if I have questions that aren't answered here? ===<br />
Here are the best ways to find out more:<br />
* Take a look at our social media links on the Connect page of our web site http://www.lvl1.org/connect/ and try connecting to us there. In particular, we recommend:<br />
** Google Group. It's free to sign up and you can post questions that any one of the several hundred participants might be able to answer. (Note: this can generate a lot of emails per day. Turn off email updates, set up your filters, use the daily digest, or use the RSS feed.)<br />
** Facebook. Follow our page or join our group. <br />
* Attend one of our Tuesday Night Open Meetings. We are here every Tuesday night and starting at 8:00pm we welcome all visitors to learn about what's happening at the space, see projects that people are working on, and tour the space. It's the best way to see first-hand what LVL1 is all about.<br />
* You can also email directors [at] lvl1 [dot] org and one of our volunteers will get back to you.</div>RJgleitzhttp://wiki.lvl1.org/index.php?title=LVL1&diff=11503LVL12019-01-12T21:44:24Z<p>RJgleitz: /* What is LVL1? */</p>

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== About LVL1 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />

== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org.<br />

<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of LVL1's space. They are just to the left out the door in the Main Work Area that leads into the rest of The Pointe.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops.<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. If you aren't sure, please ask a member or two if an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part that accidentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street. However, another smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last member to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />

== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If it's your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach. (Recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date.<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics).<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop.<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop.<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies.<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />

'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through a PayPal auto-payment<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />
<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== About LVL1 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />

'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />

== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />

<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== About LVL1 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
For a list of the Tools at lvl1, See http://wiki.lvl1.org/Equipment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of LVL1's space. They are just to the left out the door in the Main Work Area that leads into the rest of The Pointe.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops.<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. If you aren't sure, please ask a member or two if an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part that accidentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street. However, another smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last member to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Nearby Resources ==<br />
<br />
[http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=217369385395577844598.00048bac33ccfb6a6ec16&msa=0 Map of Louisville Hacker Resources]<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If it's your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach. (Recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date.<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics).<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop.<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop.<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies.<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />

We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />

== About LVL1 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
For a list of the Tools at lvl1, See http://wiki.lvl1.org/Equipment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of LVL1's space. They are just to the left out the door in the Main Work Area that leads into the rest of The Pointe.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops.<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. If you aren't sure, please ask a member or two if an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part that accidentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street. However, another smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last member to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Nearby Resources ==<br />

<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If it's your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach (recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics)<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />
<br />
'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through an automatic paypal<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />
<br />

In the back (north) of the space, the boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. If you aren't sure, please ask a member or two if an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part that accidentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street. However, another smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last member to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />

== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If it's your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held. (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach (recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics)<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />

'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through an automatic paypal<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />

<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== About LVL1 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
For a list of the Tools at lvl1, See http://wiki.lvl1.org/Equipment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of LVL1's space. They are just to the left out the door in the Main Work Area that leads into the rest of The Pointe.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops.<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. If you aren't sure, please ask a member or two if an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part that accidentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street. However, another smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street.

[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />

<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org.<br />

== Tools ==<br />
<br />
For a list of the Tools at lvl1, See http://wiki.lvl1.org/Equipment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of LVL1's space. They are just to the left out the door in the Main Work Area that leads into the rest of The Pointe.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops.<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. If you aren't sure, please ask a member or two if an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part that accidentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street. However, another smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last person to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />

<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If its your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held. (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach (recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics)<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />

'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through an automatic paypal<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />

<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />

Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />

<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last person to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />

== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If its your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held. (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach (recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics)<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />

'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through an automatic paypal<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== About LVL1 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
For a list of the Tools at lvl1, See http://wiki.lvl1.org/Equipment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of LVL1's space. They are just to the left out the door in the Main Work Area that leads into the rest of The Pointe.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops.<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the Boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. As we unpack from our move, asking a member or two to be sure that an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part hasn't accudentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street, but another, smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />

== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org.<br />

== Tools ==<br />
<br />
For a list of the Tools at lvl1, See http://wiki.lvl1.org/Equipment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of LVL1's space. They are just to the left out the door in the Main Work Area that leads into the rest of The Pointe.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops:<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the Boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. As we unpack from our move, asking a member or two to be sure that an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part hasn't accudentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street, but another, smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last person to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Nearby Resources ==<br />

<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If its your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held. (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach (recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics)<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />
<br />
'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through an automatic paypal<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />
<br />

<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />

LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last person to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />

== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If its your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held. (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach (recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics)<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />

'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through an automatic paypal<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />

<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== About LVL1 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
For a list of the Tools at lvl1, See http://wiki.lvl1.org/Equipment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of LVL1's space. They are just to the left out the door in the Main Work Area that leads into the rest of The Pointe.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops:<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the Boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. As we unpack from our move, asking a member or two to be sure that an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part hasn't accudentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street, but another, smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />

To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />

<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org.<br />

<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of LVL1's space. From the door that leads into the rest of The Pointe that is in the Main Work Area, they are just to the left.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops:<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the Boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. As we unpack from our move, asking a member or two to be sure that an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part hasn't accudentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street, but another, smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last person to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If its your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held. (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach (recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics)<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />
<br />
'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through an automatic paypal<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />
<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />

== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If its your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held. (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach (recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics)<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />

'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through an automatic paypal<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== About LVL1 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
For a list of the Tools at lvl1, See http://wiki.lvl1.org/Equipment<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of lvl1's space. From the door that leads into the rest of The Pointe that is in the Main Work Area, they are just to the left.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops:<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the Boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. As we unpack from our move, asking a member or two to be sure that an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part hasn't accudentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street, but another, smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last person to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />
<br />

LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1. Minors may be present when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them being moved. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org<br />

<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of lvl1's space. From the door that leads into the rest of The Pointe that is in the Main Work Area, they are just to the left.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops:<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the Boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. As we unpack from our move, asking a member or two to be sure that an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part hasn't accudentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street, but another, smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last person to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If its your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held. (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach (recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics)<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />
<br />
'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through an automatic paypal<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />
<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />

== About LVL1 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />

*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held. (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach (recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics)<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />

'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through an automatic paypal<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />

== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Lvl1_2011_big.png|right]]<br />
<br />
Welcome to [[LVL1]]! <br />
<br />
Our space might be a little overwhelming at first, so we've created this manual as a rough guide to help you get the most out of the community we've created. <br />
<br />
We hope that this guide will help you better understand how [[LVL1]] is organized, answer common questions and provide direction on how to get the most out of the resources [[LVL1]] has to offer. <br />
<br />
This manual is a guide to all members of our community; from first-time visitors to founding members. Feel free to edit and contribute information to this guide. [[LVL1]] is a dynamic space and we expect this guide to be as equally as dynamic. <br />
<br />
If you have questions not addressed in this [[Manual]], please also check our [[FAQ]] or email info@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== About LVL1 ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Butterscotch.jpeg|left|400px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] is an open community workshop democratically operated by our membership. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, engineers, educators, scientists, artists, hackers and overall geeks. Anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around smart, creative, friendly mad scientist maker/hacker Louisvillians is welcome at [[LVL1]]! We've got lots of cool tools and equipment. We've got a lot of really bright and creative people. We like to work on (and show off) fun and challenging technical projects.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== LVL1 Culture ==<br />
<br />
[[File:Mario_and_doctor.jpeg|right|300px]]<br />
<br />
[[LVL1]] strives to promote an open and welcoming culture. We like the fact that we're a public resource for the community. To keep this kind of openness in our community, it takes a little more effort in a social sense to keep things running smoothly. Being part of an open community can be a challenge sometimes. Try to display a little extra politeness, a little extra patience, a little extra cleanliness and a little extra friendliness.<br />
<br />
Our primary policy is to "Be Excellent to Each Other." If you're not being excellent to your other members, expect to get called out for it. If you don't know whether or not something you're doing is excellent, odds are, it isn't.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Organization ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a non-profit 501c(3) organization. We collect dues from our membership to pay rent, utilities, insurance and maintenance of the space. Any funds left over are used for tools and consumables for LVL1. <br />
<br />
LVL1 has a 7 member Board of Directors elected by membership. This includes four elected officers and three at-large directors. The Board of Directors fulfill the roles required by Kentucky law and oversee the operation of LVL1. All of the directors are volunteers and are not compensated financially. The directors can be contacted by emailing directors@lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** An auxiliary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1, except when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them move. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
For a list of the Tools at lvl1, See http://wiki.lvl1.org/Equipment<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of lvl1's space. From the door that leads into the rest of The Pointe that is in the Main Work Area, they are just to the left.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops:<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the Boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. As we unpack from our move, asking a member or two to be sure that an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part hasn't accudentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street, but another, smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last person to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Nearby Resources ==<br />
<br />

<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If its your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held. (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />

== Regular Events ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 has an Open Meeting & Making every Tuesday at 8pm. This is best time to come by the space to find out what's happening and meet our community. <br />
<br />
We keep a calendar of other upcoming meetings and events at http://lvl1.org.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Health & Safety ==<br />
<br />
Safety is the responsibility of each and every person at LVL1. You are especially responsible for your own safety, but if you see others being unsafe, tell them!<br />
<br />
Everyone walking through the door must sign a [[Waiver]] of Liability. This waiver absolves LVL1 of responsibility should anyone damage themselves at the hackerspace. All guests you bring in MUST sign this waiver, regardless of how long they intend to stay, or whether or not they intend to use any tools. Anyone refusing to sign a waiver will be asked to leave.<br />
<br />
It should go without saying, but if you don't know how to use a tool, don't use it! If you want to learn how to use a tool, ask around, and wait for someone to teach you! If you're alone in the Hackerspace, it is advisable to refrain from using dangerous tools.<br />
<br />
*The First aid kit is located next to the doors that lead to the 'back' of the space. it's a white box with green lettering on it.<br />
** an auxillary first aid kit is next to the light switch (on the shelf with all the safety goggles) in the woodshop.<br />
*Fire extinguishers are littered throughout the space. Make yourself aware of the location of fire extinguishers, they should all be in plain sight.<br />
<br />
There are two breaker boxes in the hackerspace. The main 200 amp service is in the 'back' of the space, located inside the cabinet painted to look like a tardis. the 100 amp subpanel is located in the corner of the wood shop, next to the CNC operator's station. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Children ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a dynamic space with potential hazards requiring a mature attitude towards safety. Due to the nature of this environment (and the extra precaution required) unattended minors under the age of 18 are prohibited from LVL1, except when accompanied by a legal guardian.<br />
<br />
When accompanied by a legal guardian, minors must have a [[Waiver]] filled out by that guardian.<br />
<br />
Although LVL1 allows accompanied minors, keep in mind that we do not make any effort to maintain a kid-friendly environment.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Consumables ==<br />
<br />
For most activities, you should plan to bring your own consumables. LVL1 has an ample supply of basic needs, but anything large or specialized will not likely be found at the space.<br />
<br />
There is a shelf in the boneyard containing free resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and some semiconductors. Items such as tape, glue, zip-ties, soldering equipment (i.e. flux, solder), hot-glue, and wiggle-eyes are also free, but are scattered throughout the space due to them move. If any parts run out, let us know by emailing Broken@lvl1.org. Wire is located on the bottom right of the soldering workstation, and is also free.<br />
<br />
As of 9/14/2008, Filament for the Makerbot costs $0.10 a gram. There is a scale next to the MakerBots to weigh your prints. You must pay for your plastic, even if your part is a disastrous failure! This fee helps pay for maintenance and plastic.<br />
<br />
The laser cutter is free for non-commercial purposes, and $1 per minute for commercial purposes. More details can be found on the page for the [[Full Spectrum Laser]]. Scrap material for the laser is located underneath the table.<br />
<br />
Scrap wood and metal are located in the bunker.<br />
<br />
Items in the boneyard are also free.<br />
<br />
There is a parts store located in the Tom's vending machine. Eventually this will be a web-connected store.<br />
<br />
Snacks and drinks are located in the fridge, and behind the counter near member storage. Prices are marked, and based on the honor system.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Donations ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is a [[501c3]] non-profit, and will accept your donations of equipment or money. We accept all electronic and electromechanical equipment, except CRT monitors, or items containing CRT monitors. Donations should be made to LVL1 Inc. For more details on the rules of donations, see the [[501c3]] page. If you have any questions, contact directors@lvl1.org<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Tools ==<br />
<br />
For a list of the Tools at lvl1, See http://wiki.lvl1.org/Equipment<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Storage ==<br />
<br />
You're only allowed to store items at the space on a semi-permanent basis if you're a member. Non-members, please take your stuff home at the end of the day!<br />
<br />
Please be conscious of our limited space, and only store items that you will use.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== The Space ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 consists of about 8,800 square feet of work area. The space is divided into the main work area, the bunker, which houses the wood shop and metal shop, the classroom, and the member storage/boneyard spaces.<br />
<br />
=== Main Work Area ===<br />
<br />
Most of the action at LVL1 takes place here, including most meetings and general work activity. This area contains work stations for 3D printing (the makerbots), laser and vinyl cutting, soldering, sewing, Raspberry Pis, and most hand tools, as well as a smart-board style interactive projector. <br />
<br />
=== Food Prep ===<br />
<br />
We have a food prep area just inside the main door that includes a refrigerator, microwave, soft drink vending machine, and a prep table stocked with disposable plates, napkins, and utensils. Feel free to use these implements to make delicious food! Remember though that we have no janitorial staff so please clean up after yourself and dispose of food waste outside the space. Also, do not use the food microwave for anything other than consumables; we have another microwave specifically for hacking.<br />
<br />
=== Bathrooms ===<br />
<br />
Bathrooms are located just outside of lvl1's space. From the door that leads into the rest of The Pointe that is in the Main Work Area, they are just to the left.<br />
<br />
=== Classroom ===<br />
<br />
The classroom has tables, a projector matching the one in the main room, and a library. The library includes a broad selection of technical books. This is not yet a lending library, although we're working on that. Feel free to use any texts while at the space.<br />
<br />
=== The Bunker ===<br />
<br />
The bunker is in the south of the space, and is a separate space containing the wood and metal shops:<br />
<br />
=== Wood Shop ===<br />
<br />
The wood shop contains many woodworking tools, including two CNC machines.<br />
<br />
=== Metal Shop ===<br />
<br />
The metal shop includes a mill, a lathe, pipe bending equipment, and sheet metal equipment.<br />
<br />
=== The Boneyard ===<br />
<br />
In the back (north) of the space, the Boneyard rests behind member storage shelves. Pieces that are available for hacking live in the boneyard. As we unpack from our move, asking a member or two to be sure that an item you would like to hack isn't an important not-for-hacking part hasn't accudentally ended up in the boneyard.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
=== Parking ===<br />
<br />
Parking for the space is available in The Pointe's parking lots, and on the street nearby. The Pointe's main parking lot, which is on the corner of East Washington and Cabel streets, is clearly visible from the street, but another, smaller (but closer to the door) parking lot is hidden behind the flood wall off Cabel street. Check the [[http://www.lvl1.org/location/ Location]] page on our main web site for directions, photos, and more info.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Guests ==<br />
<br />
LVL1 is an open access hackerspace. Any time a member is present at the space, guests are welcome to drop by, work on projects, use the resources of the space, or just hang out. All guests must sign a [[Waiver]]. Any guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. When all members leave, all guests must also leave. It is the responsibility of the last person to leave to ensure that the space is empty, and the door is locked.<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
<br />
== Nearby Resources ==<br />
<br />
[http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=217369385395577844598.00048bac33ccfb6a6ec16&msa=0 Map of Louisville Hacker Resources]<br />
<br />
<br style="clear: both" /><br />
== Workshops ==<br />
<br />
=== Attending a Workshop ===<br />
*Show up. (Early, especially if it's also your first time visiting the space, because you might get lost finding the door, and also will need to sign a waiver.)<br />
*If its your first visit to the space, sign our waiver of liability, on the kiosks in the front entry-way.<br />
*Make your way to the classroom, which is diagonal across the main room from the front door.<br />
*Don't hesitate to ask anyone you can find in the space about where the workshop is being held. (sometimes they are not in the classroom.)<br />
<br />
=== Hosting a Workshop ===<br />
<br />
Workshops are a great way to spread awareness and grow LVL1 in knowledge, expertise and memberships. They're also a great way to show off and share what you know. Hosting a workshop at LVL1 is very easy.<br />
<br />
# Think of a workshop idea.<br>Do you have any knowledge you'd like to spread? If you'd like, do an interest-check at a Tuesday meeting, or on the mailing list.<br />
# Figure out how many attendees you'd be willing to teach (recruit help if necessary!)<br />
# Figure out how much the workshop will cost.<br>For hardware workshops, this might be quite a bit. For software workshops, this might be nothing at all! You're more likely to get committed folks if you put a nominal price on the workshop ($5-$10), but don't feel like you have to. If you'd like, add some money on top of the workshop to benefit LVL1.<br />
# Pick a date<br>Any arbitrary date will do. Find one that isn't taken on the calendar.<br />
# Create promotional material for the event (a description, requirements, prerequisites, some graphics)<br />
# Email the board of directors to set up an EventBrite event.<br>Eventbrite handles payments and ticketing. If you're hosting a free or low cost workshop, you can skip this and accept payment at the door.<br />
# Email the list to announce the workshop<br />
# Make a blog post to announce the workshop<br />
# Email the board of directors to purchase supplies<br />
# Come to LVL1 and teach the workshop!<br />
<br />
'''Guide to LVL1 culture'''<br />
*Be excellent to each other is our prime directive. Keep things fun.<br />
**All people like to be around things that are fun.<br />
**All people tend to avoid things and events that are not fun.<br />
**Therefore the best way to keep attendance and occupancy up is to keep things fun.<br />
*Fair Warning: Using the collective 'we' can quickly get you deputized. <br />
**This is meant to be a playful way of avoiding 'diffusion of responsibility'. Sometimes when people say "We should _________!", what they really mean is "Someone besides myself should _________!"<br />
**Being deputized doesn't mean you have to do it yourself. But, it does mean you should lead the charge, find people to help you, and cajole them as necessary (free beer or home-baked cookies) to make it happen.<br />
*When scheduling something; pick an arbitrary date to start negotiations, thereby avoiding arbitrary non-starting negotiations.<br />
**Sometimes the hardest part of organizing is finding the 'best' time to do it.<br />
**There is never a 'best time' that works for everyone.<br />
**Once a date is set, everything else quickly falls into place.<br />
*The less rules the better. Don't try to solve problems we don't have.<br />
**We rely on a culture of openness, friendliness and mutual respect. <br />
**If you have a conflict with some aspect of the space or a member, we expect you to try and resolve it with the member on a personal level first. If that is not achievable, then find a Director to help mediate the conflict. Rule-making is a last resort approach for conflict resolution.<br />
*Be excellent to each other.<br />
<br />
== Membership ==<br />
* You don't need to be a LVL1 member to hang out with us at meetings and events! All are welcome to come and geek out with us. There's a common misperception that you should be a member before coming to these meetings. This is not true! At least 50% of these meeting attendees are not dues paying members and all of them are welcome. Most of those non-members have no intention of becoming dues paying members. That's fine! There's no pressure to become an official member! Official membership has some awesome benefits and we'd love to have you, but it's cool if you just want to hang out and geek out.<br />
<br />
== Becoming a LVL1 member ==<br />
*Membership is $50 a month through an automatic paypal<br />
*Membership gives you the following rights:<br />
**Voting Rights (direction and conflict resolution)<br />
**24x7 access to space, you get a key<br />
**Access to all equipment owned, donated or loaned to LVL1<br />
**Ability to sponsor new members<br />
* Membership currently has the following requirements:<br />
** Convince 3 existing members to sponsor you.<br />
** Have two officers verify a photo ID.<br />
<br />
Please read the [[Bylaws]] before becoming a member, so you have an understanding of how we operate procedurally.<br />
<br />

<div>== LVL1's Mission Statement ==<br />
''From our [[Articles of Incorporation]]:''<br />
<br />
LVL1's mission is to provide a shared space for collaborative technical and artistic experimentation in the Louisville area. This corporation is organized and operated exclusively for educational and charitable purposes within the meaning of section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. We are a non-profit organization following the hackerspace model currently flourishing in cities all over the world. Our goal is to create an open workspace where engineers, artists and educators can meet and collaborate. LVL1 is where we begin making amazing things.<br />
<br />
== Hackerspace Info & History ==<br />
<br />
As defined by Wikipedia: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace]<br />
<br />
"A hackerspace or hackspace (from Hacker and Space, sometimes referred to as a makerspace in reference to Make Magazine.) is a real (as opposed to virtual) place where people with common interests, usually in science, technology, or digital or electronic art can meet, socialise and collaborate. A hackerspace can be viewed as an open community lab, workbench, machine shop, workshop and/or studio where people of diverse backgrounds can come together to share resources and knowledge to build/make things." <br />
