All equipment that leaves the house needs to be reserved on the CNMAT reservation calendar. To do that, go to:

http://calendar.yahoo.com/

and login as:

user: cnmatreservation
password: reserve

Also, an exact list of all equipment leaving the house needs to be emailed to mzed@cnmat.berkeley.edu. Even if I am there and help you pick out the gear, I need *you* to make this list. Also included in this list is an estimate of when you plan to return the gear.

Only after these two things are done can equipment leave the house.

Now some comments:

1. I understand that people want don't want to put things away at midnight, after a long concert. I'm OK with that. However, I'm not OK with gear being thrown through the front door sitting there for weeks until I put it away. Equipment should not sit in the main room for more than 24 hours, or I'll come looking for the perpetrator. Do not take any gear out of CNMAT unless you know where to put it away.

2. Things that live in locked spaces (like the garage or Richard's office) can be dropped off and picked up in the "dugout" in the main room. (Ask if you don't know where that is).

3. Please don't hang on to things after you are done with them. Many of the items here are unique, and other people are waiting for them.
