This is an old revision of the document!
From time to time the laser is unavailable. Either for maintenance or because of an issue.
When this happens, this is a checklist of the things we need to do. If we don't do these steps, people may come a long way to VHS to use the laser, and be unable to use it. That is a bummer. The laser is volunteer run, and there are no guarantees of usability - but if we can clearly communicate what's happening that goes a long way to being excellent to each other!
1. Disable the laser via the MQTT flag - more details on how to do that to come 2. Make bookings unavailable on booking.vanhack.ca - instructions to come 3. Cancel existing bookings on booking.vanhack.ca - instructions to come 4. Put a sign up on the laser computer and the laser - example sign to come 5. Post on Slack #laser - example post to come 6. Post on talk? - might be overkill, discussion happening now - example post to come if we decide this is needed.
