Operative rules of the Hackerspace
Preface
You know damn well what these mean. If you don't, just ask. Don't act smart.
Tidiness
- Every item has its place - have you used a tool, and now you're finished and leaving? Put it back in its place.
- Food spoils - are you using the fridge? Keep in mind that food starts evolving (spoiling) after a few days, so either remember about your food, or send an email to the mailing list. Visibly spoiled food will be thrown out without a notice.
- The trash doesn't take itself out - is the trash can full? Don't overfill it. Go touch some grass and take a walk with the trash bag to the bins outside.
- Dirty table? Wipe it, it's gonna take you just a minute, and the space will be cleaner thanks to you.
- Working on a project, and created some shavings or other mess? Clean it up, and toss it into the trash can. No, the floor is not a trash can.
(Co-)Existing in the Hackerspace
- The hackerspace is not a hotel. Housing people was never our plan, we're renting a workshop, not a living space. Falling asleep on the couch can happen to anyone, but this kind of thing should be an exception, not a rule - and with a good reason (e.g. you were working on a project until late night and missed the last train of the day).
- The hackerspace is not a crack den. People whose state or behaviour seems harmful to the Hackerspace will be asked to leave immediately. Illegal substances are also a basis for being shown the door.
- Rationale: if you don't know how to drink, don't drink; don't be a pothead, don't deal drugs; showering is very encouraged.
I want to do X in the space, who should I ask for permission?
If “X” affects other HS members, ask around on the mailing list.
Examples of things to talk about on the forum
- Leaving large items in the Hackerspace (e.g. wardrobe, scooter, fridge, bike, etc.)
- Renting another room
- Repurposing a room
- Throwing out a couch, armchair or other furniture
- Building a kitchen
- Larger renovation works (e.g. painting, plaster chipping)
Examples of things you don't need to bother anyone with
- Putting up a shelf
- Cleaning up
- Running cables, etc.
