    Recurring Tasks

    Check chiller water levels Check water levels in chillers and refill with distilled water as needed (see the gauge on the back of the chiller) Potlock
    Clean chiller dust filters Remove the chiller cases and clean out their dust filters Potlock
    Cull scrap materials Sort scrap materials in grey drawers and under Bumblebee's desk into "Usable - keep as is", "Usable - needs trimming” and "Too small to keep.” Throw the latter in the dumpster, and for pieces that need trimming, cut unuseful sections off with the band saw. Sort pieces to be kept into their respective drawers or back under the desk. Guidelines: keep wood items larger than ~50in² and acrylics larger than 15in². Smaller colored acrylics may be kept too. Other materials, use your judgement or ask. Potlock
    Thoroughly vacuum out debris Vacuum out all of the debris that accumulates in the back and sides of the cutting chamber, as well as all of the debris that has fallen below the laser bed. Potlock
    Sweep underneath each laser Sweep out whatever debris has fallen on the floor underneath each laser. Some of this might be useful tools or other items that have gotten lost, so look things over before immediately tossing everything in the trash. Potlock
    Clean dust filters on intake fans Remove and clean the small dust filter on the 120mm case fan on the left side of each laser. Monthly?
    Clean optics and level the bed Please only attempt these if you've been trained to do them. As needed

    Long Term

    Task Name Description Priority Champion
    Add proper limit switches to Bumblebee Currently, the laser only knows it's position in software, based on initial homing. If this glitches for some reason, which it can be prone to do, the gantry will crash, which is Bad. The functionality for proper "STOP when you reach this point" limit switches exists on the laser controller so this could be done with 4 limit switches and some wiring--some of which will have to run through the flexible wire bundle that moves with the gantry. 1

    Potlock TODOs: 2023-02-18

    (Break?) open vinyl filing cabinet

    • The special materials vinyl cabinet, currently sitting behind the heat press near the cutting mat, doesn't open when I rattle/tug the handles.
      • As there's no keyhole and no known key, I'm not quite sure what's going on. It's likely there's some sort of lock or catch mechanism; since I've got mobility and dexterity issues, this task may be as simple as finding a button somewhere other than the front surface that unlocks the whole. I didn't have it in me to do more then tug the handles and examine the front.
      • Non-destructive methods are preferred; if a destructive method is used, the cabinet must remain capable of normal use (drawers can still be pulled in and out, remains structurally stable and sound, etc.)
      • The cabinet's at the far end of the cutting mat, beside the heat press, and is temporarily hidden by a stashed display case; it's just visible in the shadow.

    Special supplies cabinet.jpg Special supplies cabinet plus display case.jpg

    Move telephone -or- mount display case

    The display case from the second photo above needs to be placed in an accessible yet secure spot somewhere adjacent to the vinyl zone.

    My preferred way to do this is remove the (unused) telephone from its mounting on the special supplies cabinet, and not bother remounting it elsewhere. (As I recall, we now actively discourage answering the phone.) Then the case could simply sit by the special supplies cabinet.

    PXL 20230219 010108320.jpg

    Should this prove impractical, the case needs to be mounted elsewhere. Here's a reference shot of the case, followed by the placement requirements.

    Display case view.jpg

    The requirements are:

    • Accessible from the floor; easily "opened".
      • Tour guides (and anyone else who's interested) should be able to walk up, open the case, and take things out to pass around to visitors. The case's purpose is to protect the contents from dust and bumps, and keep them off of working surfaces; it's NOT to seal the contents away from everyone. Having contents easily visible from the aisle is a huge plus.
      • This case is exactly like the one mounted to one side of the A-side entry door, opposite the log-in sheet. That means it "opens" by sliding the acrylic panel to one side. The acrylic isn't fastened down; it sits in a pair of grooves and slides out.
    • Directionally oriented.
      • In the photo above, an internal horizontal shelf is visible. There are slots (not currently in use) for two more in the same direction. If the case can be mounted so the shelves remain horizontal, it'll be much more useful.
      • Protected from accidental bumps. If protecting the case weren't important, it could just sit on the floor in the aisle by the vinyl zone desk. However, long experience has shown that, eventually, everything on an aisleway at floor level will get hit by the Genie or a cart, potentially quite hard. That would be worse than no display case at all, both for the case and the contents, which will include a substantial amount of glassware.
    • Removable/remountable. Much like the case by the front door, the case should be removable for reuse elsewhere without major repairs.

    It's occurred to me that "mounting" between the stanchions of the red pallet rack, by the aisle, might be enough to protect it. While very accessible, such a mounting seems complicated to build, and would need to be removable once Vinyl moves out of the area. I also haven't yet gotten buyin from Lew, so please check with me before carrying this one out!

    Possible display case location 1.jpg

    There's wall space by the back of Vinyl above the trash can. However, a substantial amount of furring would be needed to 'push' the case out from the wall enough to open it without crashing into the adjacent pallet rack, and to work around the support piller.

    Possible display case location 2.jpg

    The wall space opposite to Vinyl, on the outer wall of the Fab Lab, is being used for temporary equipment storage. It probably shouldn't be used as a mounting location.

    If it can be easily done, it might be acceptable to mount the case to the front of the Vinyl Zone desk, facing the Bike Zone and bathroom. However, such a mounting must be easy to remove (in the case Bike Zone decides to put something by the desk) and must not interfere with how the desk works (can't block desk drawers or compromise the structural integrity).

    Wiki

    Look for "Good first task →" if you want some simple ones

    Newish Content

    Misc

    • Add some "good first task" tasks to this list, for new editors to get their feet wet.
    • Verify the Financial category has been created then go through all the Board Minutes and find the financial reports and make sure they all have the [[Category: Financial]] tag in the page (preferably at the bottom).
    • What is Membership how does it overlap with Membership Committee and can they be combined?
    • add Extension:UrlGetParameters so we can have a printEquipment?page=whatever that just has the label on it
    • make wiki role for secretary that can edit bylaws and standing rules

    Minutes status stuff

    If anything shows up here that isn't in the future or very recent, it's probably a mistake in the Template:MinutesHeader call, likely someone didn't change it from agenda to complete

    • If it's a board meeting, check that it was approved at a future board meeting and if it wasn't bring it up with the board
    • If it's a member meeting and it looks good, just mark it complete if it looks like a good summary

    Reorganizing

    Semantifying

    • EAP: Reformat all dates to be yyyy-mm-dd
    • EAP: sorttable/sorting order on transcluded queries - probably the user table generation
    • EAP: make user tables and trainer tables have prettylinks
    • EAP: add comment on authorized users table that ZCs should email wiki@ if they can't edit
      • Alternatively, make it unrestricted until someone goes dumb and tries to add themselves without actually getting authorized first
    • EAP: Figure out how to add second trainer to lasers
      • Tried to make the trainer field parallel to the owners field, but it isn't working. It could be because the trainers field is in a multiple-instance field. Also, when formatting for display, the owners field uses an arraymap, but since the trainers property is a subobject, everything is weird. I don't remember how to call an arraymap within a subobject declaration, or even if it can be done. Everything is confusing and future jamie should take pity on this jamie and not be mad at her :-(
    • Meeting minutes: Use template subclusion to auto-populate with old business, previous action items, current space projects, even zones and sigs maybe
      • See if wikibot can help with this
    • Make ToDos editable with forms
    • Learn cargo and see if it's worth rewriting all the SMW stuff in a more database-like format
    • Talk pages would be more useful if they indicated LOUDLY that they exist, or that they have new content on them, cuz on our wiki they're so rare most of us forget to look for 'em

    Fixing broken things

    • make SMW error icon mouse over-able like it's supposed to
      • Jamie has advice from the SMW mailing list somewhere in her inbox.
    • Fix advocate name query on HOWTO Be Member Advocate
