At Tog Hackerspace, the strength of our community is rooted in the dedication of our volunteers. For the past two weeks, we’ve been working through Togtober 2024, a month focused on improving our space through collaborative efforts. This annual event reflects the values we hold—practicality, resourcefulness, and shared responsibility.
A Volunteer-Driven Space
Tog Hackerspace is entirely volunteer-run. We have no paid staff or external management; everything that happens here is the result of our members’ time, skills, and contributions. This self-sufficient approach ensures that our space evolves according to the needs and efforts of the community.
Ongoing Space Improvements
Since the start of Togtober, we’ve been steadily working on a range of projects to improve our space. Whether it’s reorganizing areas, upgrading tools, or addressing maintenance tasks, our focus is on practical changes that benefit everyone.
Below, you can see our organised workbench, which has been newly reorganized for better accessibility during projects.
Another improvement is the installation of new handrails to enhance safety in key areas of the space.
How You Can Participate
Togtober is still ongoing, and there are several ways you can get involved:
- Volunteer Your Time: We hold work sessions every weekend. Regardless of your skill level, there are tasks you can help with.
- Donate Materials: If you have surplus materials or tools, they can be useful for our improvement projects.
- Contribute Ideas: If you have suggestions for improving the space, we’re open to hearing them. Practical, actionable ideas are always welcome.
Looking Ahead
There’s still work to be done as we move into the final weeks of Togtober. The success of these improvements depends on continued support from our community. If you’re able to contribute, now is the time to get involved. Together, we can ensure that Tog Hackerspace remains a functional and well-maintained environment for all.
