The Logistics Committee hosts the Dallas Makerspace's Storage Meeting on a monthly basis - typically on the first Sunday of each month at 4PM in the Conference room. At this meeting, advice and guidance is given to all of the affected operating committees to manage and coordinate a unified and transparent storage policy at the Dallas Makerspace. Although each committee technically maintains control over its own area, storage issues often transcend the domain of any one committee and the Storage Meeting provides a forum to help coordinate these policies.
Storage Policies[edit | edit source]
The following text appears on each Storage Card (and is intended to be a general guide for project storage):

and date of storage. Select a slot, and fill it taking care not to present a hazard. Vacate your slot before the printed expiration date
...
.
- You may only use one slot
- You may NOT store any flammable or hazardous materials - if it costs DMS money to dispose of your materials it will be passed on to you.
GENERAL WORKSHOP
Contact logistics prior to leaving any project on the general workshop floor or on tables for greater than 24 hours. Failing to do so will result in the disposal of your materials. Any projects left to dry/cure MUST have name, date & time left, and contact information.
Any abandoned materials longer than 24 hours or unlabeled will be disposed of unless granted permission.
EXTENSIONS
No extensions will be granted
REMOVALS
Projects that have exceeded the 30-day storage limit (or 24 hours for general workshop storage) will be disposed of.
PURGATORY
If space allows, projects may be relocated to "Purgatory", which is the window near the workshop entrance. If any materials are located there, you must contact a director or officer to access it, which may take some time.
STORAGE BANS
Violations of storage rules, habitual exceeding of storage limits, etc. may result in a ban from storage, including project storage, personal storage bins, etc.

A Note On Sanctions[edit | edit source]
5/17/2016
Due to increasing violations of storage rules - which have the effect of reducing storage availability, presenting hazards to members, and increasing Logistics' workload, Logistics will start issuing sanctions to violators.
Section 7 of the rules allow for bans from project storage for a variety of reasons:
Members can be banned from storage for reasons including but not limited to: violations of the rules, failing to complete a project that was offered a final extension, creating hazardous situations, acting as an administrative nuisance to the Logistic Committee, abandoning a Floor Storage project, and dodging Removal Notices
Logistics will also begin invoking committee discretion powers in Section 1. In particular, we will be addressing project storage in common areas, and expedited removal of projects in violation of the rules.
