[dms-discuss] Possible Repair Cafe site at the Yolo County Library

[Robert Nickerson]

Hi

Thanks Bill, so library ? Or space?

I vote for space, because we have the tools there, and whatever 
resources we could bring to bear on an issue.  Plus people get to be 
familiar with the location and the things we have available.

Plus if we make a mess, well...

Anyway - Ill go wherever people tell me.

As far as what we are trying to do, is publicize and host a repair cafe. 
People could come in with their toaster, or vacuum cleaner, laggy 
computer, or whatever, and we try to help them help themselves repair or 
diagnose it. Not very many of us are good or capable at doing this, but 
there is you tube, and beer makes everything better too.  There was no 
consideration that it would be only one person doing the whole thing. 
Februray 12th is good because there are 2 people holding open hours that 
day.  From 11-2 and 5-8.  That just leaves someone a 2-5 shift we have 
for that day, and we can keep the space open the whole day.  I could do 
the 2-5 shift.

We should have at least 2 people per shift to help out anyone that 
brings in something to repair.

So can some one make a decision about where and how many hours? I'll get 
a little schedule poll together and we can see who can come when...

Thx

RAN
