Welcome to the pirateship.github.com wiki!
The Minecraft server is at: 208.83.234.76:25575
Jeff is trying to get it to be at: http://minecraft.irateship.com:25575
Feel free to add any other useful info here.
###Mailing lists
There are three mailing lists:
- pirateship-crew for the current active members.
- irateship for past and present members, and close friends of the ship.
- pirateship-announce for email blasts about public events.
- semi-affiliated synth list started by Rob Ochshorn: http://lists.rmozone.com/listinfo.cgi/synth-rmozone.com ###Real-time feedback
There are at least two channels on the old IRC bandwidths, which are still sometimes occasionally heard on AM bands repeating mysterious numbers even today.
- #p.irateship on OFTC
- #treehouse on OFTC
###Guidelines
We are iterating on some guidelines (mostly collected over the past few years of operating, but never really written down until now) which we hope will a) help the ship run smoothly and b) help prospective members decide if this a totally sweet place or a terrible reign of hardasses:
- membership fees are due on the 23rd of each month, for the following month -- this leaves time for all checks to clear, etc.
- we are a co-op, although we rarely vote on things and are pretty low-key. But you do have a say in decision making if you choose to voice it.
- that means that if we do have a rent shortfall (hasn't happened for many months) we share the shortage (one membership short would be $200 split roughly 14 ways, or $13 each)
- we are pretty disorganized about things, but usually if you don't know, just ask the list. for example, we've been in the space almost 3 years and are just recently figuring out if we can get mail picked up there, not to mention trash (thanks to various people voluntarily tackling these issues)
- we prefer that people make a commitment to 6 months, and give 30 days notice before leaving; when you do leave, * we ask that you help get the word out to find a replacement for your spot
Some space-use-related and common-property guidelines:
- The soldering table is for common use. And are the bulk parts on it.
- There is a projector screen over the soldering table. There is a projector you can use on top of the server closet.
Flies love the pirateship. Certain trash, like the waste from microwavable meals, gives the flies places to have orgies all up in the pirateship. Fly orgies should not be tolerated! If waste has foodstuff still on it or in it, especially of the liquid kind, please dispose of it outside of the pirateship. There are a number of trash containers in the Market Basket parking lot, there is a public garbage receptacle at the corner of the Market Basket and the cemetery at the bus stop, and there might be disposal options in the auto alley.
Even the closed garbage lid of the curbside garbage bucket might not be enough to keep the flies from having their sex parties all up in our ship. That experiment is in progress.
Generally speaking, if food or drink are left out in the open, even on one's desk, the assumption is that it is open game for all to consume (especially when the owner is out).
If food or drink are not for share, label the food/drink with something like "Plague Inside, Do Not Throw Away". This will be an indication of non-community consumables.
Help yourself to food left out as such, but be respectful of trash. If you eat the last of something, dispose of the container. There's nothing worse than being amazed that a bag of candy survived the weekend only to find out the bag did survive... with nothing left in it. In other words, the kindness of sharing food should not be met with the kindness of another leaving trash in its place.
