[cctalk] VCFed warehouse closure reminder
Hello all, This is a reminder that the Vintage Computer Federation's warehouse will be sealed for renovation, reorganization, and inventorying starting on *January 1st, 2024*. As such, no items will be permitted into or out of the warehouse unless absolutely necessary. As many VCF members have used the warehouse for storage of their personal belongings, it is imperative that they either come to retrieve their belongings or notify me off-list ( thomas.gilin...@vcfed.org) what of theirs is currently stowed in the warehouse so that I may tag it and relocate it outside of the warehouse. Please provide *verifiable proof* that the item in question is your personal property, AND that it was not given to VCF as a donation. *All items within the warehouse that have not been verified and tagged by January 1st will be treated as the property of VCF.* If your item has been verified and tagged before January 1st, but you are not able to collect it, then you will still be able to pick it up after the cut-off date, but *ONLY* if it has been verified and tagged. And, of course, we will periodically nag you to come collect as well. Thanks, -Thomas Gilinsky Vintage Computer Federation Warehouse Manager
[cctalk] Re: Announcement of VCFed warehouse closure & improvements
If your item is tagged, it will be removed from the warehouse and stored in a secure area on-campus until you are able to collect it. I understand that the 2-3 weeks before the warehouse is closed will be hectic for most people given the holidays, so I do not expect everyone to come to collect, but I do implore everyone with possessions in the building to at least notify Doug or me so that we can tag & isolate it. I have heard of incidents in the past where people's personal property has been misidentified as warehouse surplus and disposed of - I want to avoid this more than anything else. Once the warehouse is closed, if there are still uncollected items, we will of course periodically nag people to come collect them. Another important thing to note to everyone - if you claim to own an item in the warehouse, and we later find that it either did not belong to you or had been *donated* to VCF, there will be trouble - not just for you, but for us. Please don't defraud museums! -Thomas Gilinsky On Tue, Nov 7, 2023 at 9:43 AM William Donzelli via cctalk < cctalk@classiccmp.org> wrote: > How long do people with tagged items have beyond 1 January 2024 to > claim their items? > > (clarifying, otherwise everyone will tag their items and the problem > will not be solved!). > > -- > Will > > On Tue, Nov 7, 2023 at 9:17 AM Thomas G via cctalk > wrote: > > > > Hello, > > > > After 18 years of acquiring artifacts, our warehouse is in need of > > reorganization, as well as major renovation work - climate control, roof > > repairs, etc. A total restructuring, inventorying, and refurbishment of > the > > warehouse is planned to commence soon - some steps such as the > installation > > of climate control have already been taken - however, planning this > process > > is made difficult by the fact that a number of our members have their own > > personal belongings stored within, many without proper tagging or > > documentation as such. > > > > On January 1st, 2024, the VCF warehouse at Infoage will be closed for > > renovation and organization.

[cctalk] Announcement of VCFed warehouse closure & improvements
Hello, After 18 years of acquiring artifacts, our warehouse is in need of reorganization, as well as major renovation work - climate control, roof repairs, etc. A total restructuring, inventorying, and refurbishment of the warehouse is planned to commence soon - some steps such as the installation of climate control have already been taken - however, planning this process is made difficult by the fact that a number of our members have their own personal belongings stored within, many without proper tagging or documentation as such. On January 1st, 2024, the VCF warehouse at Infoage will be closed for renovation and organization. During this time, no items will be permitted in or out of the warehouse bar those permitted *directly* by the VCF Warehouse manager - Thomas Gilinsky - during monthly repair workshops. As such, if you have any personal belongings stored within the warehouse, and would like to retrieve it, or have it tagged and set aside for you to collect later, please contact either me at thomas.gilin...@vcfed.org, or Doug at douglas.crawf...@vcfed.org. Please provide *verifiable* *proof* that the item you are describing is your possession. *ITEMS WHICH ARE NOT CLAIMED BY JANUARY 1ST, 2024 WILL BE ASSUMED TO BE THE POSSESSIONS OF VCF.* Donations to VCF will still be accepted during this time - we have other areas to store them while the warehouse is reorganized. Thanks, Thomas Gilinsky Vintage Computer Federation Warehouse Manager
