[hackerspaces] Inventory Systems

[bre pettis]

We just set up an inventory and parts management system into Thingiverse to
track stuff at MakerBot and we opened it up for anyone to use.

At NYCResistor we've got Pip who is an obsessive labeler. She labels
everything and every box so that it's clear where everything should go. This
makes for a small amount of organization of the chaos of tools and parts.

Each member also has a labeled shelf so that when Diana leaves something
out, I can just throw it on her shelf.

We try and keep shared tools in spots and that's also organized with the
label maker!

So, basically, my suggestion is get a labelmaker and tons of label tape and
let someone go wild with it.
