The Lounge

Welcome to the Kamloops Makerspace Society Forum!

Our forum is the primary communication tool in our community, as an online forum members can communicate no matter their hours or location.

If this is your first time here please take a look around the various channels, and create an account for yourself.

Feel free to add a little bit about yourself in your bio such as your interests in the space. We encourage users to create accounts with your actual name and adding a photo also makes it much easier for member's to connect with each other in person at the space. Send one of our moderator's a note if you need some help or need to change your account name!

The Lounge is where most of the day to day topics in the Makerspace get posted, where the tool and workspace channels provide a place for longer term discussions and act as a library of information. If you want to get some quick help on a specific tool don't be shy to post in the Lounge! It's quite easy for our moderators to later move the post over to a specific channel for future use after the issue has been resolved.

As this is a new forum, posts from the old forum have been added by Nicholas Adams and are denoted by "Originally posted by" The post are not connected to the original poster so they will not be notified if you reply.

Any questions or concerns please message our community moderators.

With Covid we are still not using the lounge as it was used in the past. It is mostly for Covid supplies. There is still a computer in the corner that is used.

Members meetings and AGMS have taken place in Lounge but are now happening online through zoom.
