== Open Hac Nights ==


We have a popular open hac night on Mondays. The official hours are from 7-9. I think we need to make it clear that hosts of this meeting are free to ask visitors to leave at 9 if no other members are going to be present. IF there are members who want to continue to host guests past 9 then it is their responsibility to supervise and clean up after those guests.

Noisebridge Inspirations

Suggested by Callie Composed by Gabriel

Noisebridge has a lot of good material on their wiki about community standards. We have an Anti-Harassment Policy, but we could have a lot more clarity around expected conduct at the space. Here are some policies I'd like to highlight for consideration at HacDC,

  1. Start by being Excellent to each other
  2. Try to resolve potential conflicts that arise using Restorative Communication
  3. Ask To Disengage to separate people in an argument that is escalating.
  4. Ask to leave if someone refuses to disengage or is doing something that makes people feel unsafe.
  5. Ask for Mediation if you don't seem to be able to resolve issues with someone in the space directly.

Open Hac Nights

We have a popular open hac night on Mondays. The official hours are from 7-9. I think we need to make it clear that hosts of this meeting are free to ask visitors to leave at 9 if no other members are going to be present. IF there are members who want to continue to host guests past 9 then it is their responsibility to supervise and clean up after those guests.

Non Aggression

In case anyone using our space engages in, or displays aggression in body motions, language, or mannerisms, such one shall be compelled from our space, so as remaining members can reclaim secure premises.
