<a id="home"></a> # Notice of Temporary Closure Due to unforeseen circumstances, the Committee of Hobart Hackerspace Inc. has decided that it is necessary to close the Space until further notice. We hope that the situation will be resolved soon. Thank you for your understanding. We will inform members via the website [hobarthackerspace.org.au](https://hobarthackerspace.org.au) as soon as possible. *Brian Marriott<br> Public Officer<br> [email protected]* # Hobart Hackerspace wiki ([wiki.hobarthacker.space](#home)) This is our documentation store. This is **your** place to stash records of how to use our gear and what projects/experiments you've done. In the spirit of our *Make -- Learn -- Inspire* motto, use it to: - **learn** from others' experience, - share how you **made** something (including the gory details *and* the mistakes) - **inspire** others to explore and create!

Briefly, all source is in [markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org) format; it is stored in and shared from a [github](https://github.com/hobart-hackerspace/wiki-obsidian) repository. [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md) is used to manage the content and to publish to this site. The base system is maintained by [Brian Marriott](mailto:[email protected]) -- but it's up to all members to provide the content! The [details of how to do this are here](Contributing%20to%20our%20wiki.md) If you have suggestions for improvement, [email Brian](mailto:[email protected]) or add an issue to [our Github tickets page](https://github.com/hobart-hackerspace/wiki-obsidian/issues). *BWM*
