Permission Stickers

Revision as of 20:35, 5 June 2012 by Freestorm (Talk | contribs)

Description

Create a sticker for things within the hackerspace similar to the one from Revspace. It would be great if a space for a QR code will be at the bottom, 'linking' the thing to the wiki. Possibly make a smaller version of this sticker to fit onto smaller parts, and storage box compartments (especially the QR code bit, even if it doesn't link to the site). These printers look like they can print QR codes quite quickly and in decent quality.

Goal

  • Create an updated version of the Revspace sticker
  • Create mini version of the sticker
  • Find/buy label printer such as this one
  • Put the code together so that labels, especially QR codes can be printed remotely
  • Print 1000 blank stickers in China so that the whole label doesn't have to be printed each time (cheaper IMO)
  • If someone wants to take something out (out of service, availability, or just borrow it), they can scan it to

Obstacle

A list of potential obstacles:

  • Nobody has done this before (all at once)
  • People might not want to stick on sticky stickers on their stuff, so maybe we need to get pre-printed static stickers
  • We need to figure out whether we want a page for everything on the wiki, just a general page with a table, something else to list the things, or even a completely separate parts database (MUST be iPhone compatible)

Components

  • The sticker with the fixme logo [File:FIXME_Sticker_v1.svg] [File:FIXME_Sticker_v2.svg]
  • A label printer (we're NOT dealing with A4 label sheets for regular printers)
  • Some scripting to be able to remote print the entire labels or just the QR coes (requires a gcmalloc)
  • Fred: I have a Brother QL-1060 that I can bring at HS for little time
