== How Projects Work at Freeside ==

A big part of the mission at Freeside is to host group projects involving as many curious tinkerers as possible.

If you'd like to manage a project or host a meeting at Freeside, all you have to do is answer a few questions about what you'd like to do and we'll help you schedule and promote it!

== Scheduling for Projects ==

Being crafty engineers, we have developed a system to schedule project meetings and classes around the highest availability of members and Project Managers.

Fill out [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1MVEC36MNQzLJA8VclRS7MA7n_M8XBlF0SkiQoDmxnwc/viewform this form] expressing your interest in participating in different projects and classes and we will take your availability into consideration when recommending schedules for them. If you include your email address, we will contact you for rare and one-time events that coincide with your schedule.

== Overview ==

Freeside has close to 6,000 square feet filled with workstations, workshops, and collaborative environments.

== Location ==

675 Metropolitan Parkway<br>
Suite 6066<br>
Atlanta, Georgia 30310

[[Detailed Directions|Detailed directions and videos]]

== Zones ==

Freeside is composed of several zones, which divide the space into loosely-defined areas of common activity. The zone boundaries are intended to shift and move as activity increases and member interests change over time.

*00: [[Welcome]]
*01: [[3D Printing]]
*02: [[Electronics Storage]]
*03: [[Electronics Lab]]
*04: [[Kitchen]]
*05: [[Classroom]]
*06: [[Server Room]]
*07: [[Auditorium]]
*08: [[Shared Storage]]
*09: [[Darkroom]]
*10: [[Ham Shack]] and [[Podcast]] Studio (coming soon)
*11: [[Member Storage]]
*12: [[Project Storage]]
*13: Loft (home of the [[Media Lab]] and [[Bio Lab]])
*14: [[Tool Room]]
*15: [[Woodshop]]
*16: [[CNC Lab]]
*17: [[Garage]]
*18: [[Workstations]]
*19: [[Safety]]
*20: [[Open Workspace]]
*21: [[Attic]]
*22: [[Metal Shop]]

== Walkthroughs ==

We typically shoot a walkthrough video every 3-6 months, since the space is constantly changing and developing. Here is our most recent one with [http://hackaday.com/2012/05/31/hackerspace-intros-freeside-hackerspace-in-atlanta-georgia Hack A Day].
