Folks can lead the playing of a tabletop game, quietly work on their own project, show a video, bring food, help clean, etc. The key thing is, just come out and enjoy your hackerspace full of people. Below is our schedule so far. I'm going to write this out as a grid of locations and times on our whiteboards. Additional schedule changes can be made by people on site by changing the whiteboards, don't send me anymore emails.
