Red Tags

If equipment needs repairs, place a Red Tag on it and report it via the Pikes Peak Makerspace Slack channel #red-tag-issues
This advises others on the malfunctioning equipment and ensures that actions can be taken to service/repair the equipment.

Additional Help

Use the PPM Slack channel #computing

Note that we have a Slack channel (#job-board) for members to post, discuss, or accept job opportunities either within PPM or from the community.
