Spark Makerspace was founded in 2015 by a group of artists and entrepreneurs looking to support creativity in our community. With support from CTNext, the City of New London, and some very generous individuals, we opened our first community workshop location at 86 Golden St in June 2016. Since then, we have supported our community and neighbors with an ever-growing array of tools, equipment, and workspaces for creative projects. We've organized public festivals and events, partnered with other artistic and educational organizations to further our joint goals, and hosted hundreds of classes and meetups to teach and share skills among our members and the general public.

== Spark Makerspace Network Overview ==

This page is intended to give you an overview of the network at Spark Makerspace.

== Network Graph ==

== Domain ==
Spark is using FreeIPA to manage host and user identities. While it's not a replacement for a Microsoft Active Directory domain controller, it get us close for the low price of free!

=== How to Create a New User ===
Point your browser to[https://freeipa.spark.spork https://freeipa.spark.spork]

while on the Spark network and login with administrator credentials.
[[image:FreeIPA login.png|300p|thumb|FreeIPA Login Page]]
Once logged in, on the '''Identity > Users''' tab, click the '''Add''' button on the primary section. Enter the user's information. Spark uses a username format of first initial + last name. If this username is already in use, use full first name instead of first initial.

=== How to enroll a Ubuntu machine ===
It's easier to just deploy a new Ubuntu machine from MAAS. See [[Computer Deployment]]

1. Set hostname
$ sudo hostnamectl set-hostname new-host.spark.spork
2. Install freeipa-client package
$ sudo apt install -y freeipa-client
3. Edit /etc/hosts
<nowiki>$ sudo vim /etc/hosts
# Add FreeIPA Server IP and hostname
10.11.12.156 freeipa.spark.spork freeipa</nowiki>
4. Register host
<nowiki>$ sudo ipa-client-install --hostname=`hostname -f` \
--mkhomedir \
--server=freeipa.spark.spork \
--domain spark.spork \
--realm SPARK.SPORK</nowiki>
You can proceed with fixed values and no DNS discovery. It's also fine to not configure NTP.

5. Enable mkhomedir.
<nowiki>$ sudo bash -c "cat > /usr/share/pam-configs/mkhomedir" <<EOF
Name: activate mkhomedir
Default: yes
Priority: 900
Session-Type: Additional
Session:
required pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 skel=/etc/skel
EOF</nowiki>
Then run
$ sudo pam-auth-update
Ensure that "activate mkhomedir" is checked and hit enter when prompted.

Jjfs85: /* Resources for leads and members */

'''Spark Makerspace''' is a [[makerspace]] in beautiful, sunny, downtown, New London, Connecticut. We are a community of makers, hackers, artists, artisans, and creative individuals. Spark was founded in 2015 by a group of artists and entrepreneurs looking to support creativity in our community. With support from CTNext, the City of New London, and some very generous individuals, we opened our first community workshop location at 86 Golden St in June 2016. Since then, we have supported our community and neighbors with an ever-growing array of tools, equipment, and workspaces for creative projects. We've organized public festivals and events, partnered with other artistic and educational organizations to further our joint goals, and hosted hundreds of classes and meetups to teach and share skills among our members and the general public. In November 2017, we relocated to the historic Manwaring Building at 225 State St, and in May 2021 we opened our office in our forever home at 7 Union St. We look forward to a long future of supporting and encouraging creativity in New London and the greater SECT area.

'''Mission''': Supporting makers with the space, equipment, education, and community to create a spark in their creativity.

'''Vision''': To be a vibrant community hub for making, creativity, and collaboration in southeastern CT.

'''CORE VALUES'''

'''Social''': Being a SOCIAL hub for support, inspiration, and empowerment for all who make and all who want to learn to make.

'''Positivity''': We know that a POSITIVE, supportive, educational community culture is necessary for people to grow in their skill levels, whether beginner or advanced.

'''Access''': Providing ACCESS to state-of-the-art tools in a facility that supports new learners and people who are highly experienced in their craft.

'''Responsibility to be diverse''': We have a RESPONSIBILITY to celebrate our cultural roots and gifts to create a society within our space that embraces differences, actively includes a variety of voices, and joins together to be the example for unity in our community and beyond.

'''Know-how''': The skilled craftspeople, artists, DIYers, students, teachers, engineers, hackers, hobbyists & activists pride themselves on their “KNOW-HOW to get it done” attitude and engage the Spark community to build new skills together.

Spark is governed by its [[Board of Directors]], with input from its [[Member Council]]. Day-to-day operations are managed by the [[Executive Director]]. Each workstation is maintained by one or more [[Leads]].
