What You Are Paying For

Access to the Space

Being a Full Member of Hive13 provides 24-hour access to an excellent working facility. Contributing Members and guests can come in when the space has been unlocked by a Full Member. Full Members receive a PIN number to the keypads our doors.

Access to the extensive skill set and resources of the Hive13 members

Hive13 members have a wide range of interests, hobbies, and professions - from server administration to welding to complex organic biochemistry. As a Member you will be able to learn from us, as well as have the opportunity to teach in return.

Access to public tools, services, and classes

The space is maintained as a group workshop, and as such there will be access to shared tools that members will provide. As the Hive13 organization gets established, we will be purchasing tools for the group to use that most people could not afford alone - as of July 6th, we are planning to purchase a rapid prototyping system as one of our first group purchases.

Voting Rights

Voting rights - Members have the right to vote on any issues brought to the membership, which include electing the Board, electing Officers, and most major decisions governing the organization.

Internet resources

Members get a Hive13 Account which grants you an @Hive13.org email address and access to all other internet services.

Be Cool

We are a community of humans. This is a physical place filled with real people who are serious about working, learning, and having fun. We are easy to get along with; you should be too.

Duties

Every member is responsible for helping to maintain the space and for contributing to the group as a whole. Help out with projects when you're able to do so, assist with maintaining or cleaning the space, teach classes, or whatever you can do.

Noise Curfew

The Hive is located in a building that is shared with other businesses and residential units. There will be posted noise restrictions and those MUST be obeyed.

Keep Current on Membership Fees

The Membership Fees are there to keep the space open for the enjoyment of all. You are expected to keep current on the Fees.
