⚠️⚠️⚠️ CYBERIA HQ IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION ⚠️⚠️⚠️

Do you want to help with the construction effort? Get in touch with j3s or forest in matrix. We communicate about construction in the #cyberia:cyberia.club matrix channel.

For more context about why construction is necessary, see the [[cyberia_hq/faq | FAQ]].

The space is to be used only for the purposes of construction currently. We have some rules if you'd like to help out:

```
Be an informed DIYer: if you do not know how to do something, find someone who does and ask them what the proper technique is. do your research - this space will be used communally, and we are responsible for making sure it is a safe environment.
Do not take risks: if you feel that thing would be risky, do not do that thing. the construction site is currently hazardous, and we must respect that.
Wear a respirator: buy and use an appropriate respiration device. There is a hardware store nearby that you can purchase one at - they are typically $30-$50.
```

## What dates??
