No sleeping at Noisebridge

71.135.35.112: emphasis of real threat of getting banned /* Noisebridge is not your home, it is your hackspace */

==Noisebridge is not your home, it is your hackspace==
[[File:Sleeping1.jpg|right]]
There is broad consensus that living at Noisebridge or sleeping overnight is not excellent. That means you should just not do it. Noisebridge is a place for hacking on creative uses of technology, materials, and/or consumables; not somewhere to live or crash out at. Our lease prohibits people from living here, and people living at Noisebridge reduce its utility for those who want to hack.

If you are sleeping at Noisebridge, anyone else present in the space has the complete right to ask you to wake up and hack or else request that you leave. As a community, we agree that it is not acceptable to argue, to be rude, or to go back to sleep after someone has asked that you either wake up and hack or else leave. '''If''' you fail to wake up and hack or leave when asked, you should expect to have your behavior discussed at a [[community meeting]], and you could subject yourself to becoming permanently banned by [[consensus]] from the space. Unfortunately, there have been [[86 | notorious instances]] of this happening in the past for persons who have chosen to exhibit this type of behaviour.

People who sleep at Noisebridge may find themselves awakened by the [[Rooster Brigade]] or spontaneous renditions of the [[Hackernationale]]

If you'd like to talk about the issue of sleeping, please join Noisebridge's discuss list at: https://www.noisebridge.net/mailman/listinfo/noisebridge-discuss

==Resources instead of living at Noisebridge==

The nature of creative work means it doesn't always pan out financially. This is pretty serious in San Francisco due to its high cost of living. Noisebridge offers [[starving hackers|a list of resources for starving hackers]], both on dead trees in meatspace and on this wiki.

==Napping at Noisebridge==

The experimental [[Hacker Stacker Napping Pods]] were built in April 2013 to provide a place for taking short occassional naps. Please use them wisely!

71.135.35.112: encouragement for membership /* Entrance and Membership */

This page exists to to provide an insight into our shifting morass of community standards. These principles and standards are not necessarily the [[Consensus]] of Noisebridge, and anyone can edit this page at any time. Hopefully, the community can ensure that this page continues to reflect what we think.

The only hard and fast rule of Noisebridge is to [[Vision#Excellence | '''be excellent to each other''']], further claified by a consensus decision to enact an [[The Anti-Harassment Policy | anti-harassment policy]]. Everything else is ''dicta''.

= Purpose =

* Noisebridge is a place for hacking, hackers, and learning to hack.
* Noisebridge operates by do-ocracy and consensus.
* The [[Noisebridge Vision]] describes what we are for, and what we are about.

= Disagreement =

* If you disagree with your fellow hacker it would be excellent to [[Conflict Resolution | work out your differences]] with them.
* If you cannot work out your differences one-on-one, it would be excellent to work out your differences through [[mediation]].

= Entrance and Membership =

* You do not need to be a Regular Member to hack at Noisebridge or to participate in the community here.
* It is [[Noisebridge_Vision#Excellence | excellent]] to take responsibility for the actions of anyone you invite or let into Noisebridge.
* It is [[Noisebridge_Vision#Excellence | excellent]] to use the resources of Noisebridge to hack and to actively participate in the community.
* You are actively encouraged to consider becoming a Regular or Associate Member of Noisebridge as described in the [[Membership | Regular Membership]] and [[Associate Membership]] pages.

= Conflict and Emergency =
* [[Conflict_Resolution]]
*We want Noisebridge to be a welcoming experience for everyone who visits.
*We don't have absolute hard-and-fast rules. We do have [[Guidelines|a page on the Wiki]] that lists some guidelines that have proved useful predictors of whether you will annoy people.
*Please respect your fellow hackers by not disparaging them based on unfair grounds such as race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and income or lack thereof; and by not making uninvited sexual comments toward others.
*If someone asks you to leave them alone or to otherwise stop a behavior that is directed toward them, please do so. Continued unwanted behavior directed toward another person is [[Harassment]].
*People who harass others or cause multiple complaints of disrespectful behavior may be asked to leave.
** It is considered [[Vision#Excellence | excellent]] to [[Do-ocracy | do-ocratically]] remove someone who is disrupting Noisebridge, or is clearly dangerous to others.
*** If someone asks you to leave, it is generally better to leave and return at the next Tuesday [[Meeting|meeting]] than it is to refuse to leave and possibly escalate the conflict into a [[Drama | hurtful exchange]].
*** If you remove someone like this, you should email [[mailinglist|noisebridge-discuss]], and raise it at the [[Meetings | next meeting]].
***If someone is removed from the space like this, they shouldn't return to the space except to work out the issue that resulted in their removal, either through [[mediation]], or by attending the [[Meetings | weekly meeting]].

If you wish to report harassment or other inappropriate behavior anonymously or privately, you can send a message to secretary@noisebridge.net

= Do Not Want =

* [[Sleeping | Noisebridge is your hackerspace, not your home]]. Living here is definitely [http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/The_Roommate_Anti-Pattern an anti-pattern], so don't even try to do this!!

* [[Harassment | Don't be creepy]]. Harassment is '''totally''' unacceptable, at any time.
* With the exception of Noisebridge's [[The_Anti-Harassment_Policy | Anti-Harassment Policy]] as it directly applies to person-to-person bullying within the space itself, no clear [[Consensus_Process | consensus]] has yet been reached on [http://www.overcomebullying.org/cyberbullying.html adult cyberbullying] on our [[Mailinglist | NB discussion mailing list]]. Since the correlation is arguably strong between cyberbullying and [[ Drama | dramatic events]] that have unfortunately occurred in the space during the recent past, it's clearly best to avoid both person-to-person '''and''' cyber bullying.
* Conflict: Please see our [[Conflict_Resolution | Helpful hints on human interaction]].

= Why Publish These Standards =

It is important for regular users of the space to be aware of the purpose of Noisebridge. If people want to use the space and have no interest in or respect for hacking, this does not mean they are automatically unwelcome at Noisebridge, but they should thoroughly understand that their possible misuse of the space is tangential to its purpose, and their ability to remain at the space is thus given over to the discretion of the membership and other stakeholders.
