<hr />
<div>Mission Statement(s), e.g., "Excellence" -- Enforcing and Re-inforcing Hacking "Purity"<br />
<br />
Imposter Syndrome Anti-Pattern -- *everyone* has it<br />
<br />
Shower Pattern now has an Anti-Pattern,<br><br />
as does the Kitchen Pattern.<br />
<br />
Territorial Anti-Pattern: people carving out a spot in the space (others too uncomfortable to use "their" space). People who belong tend to drift away.<br />
<br />
Reboot Pattern: turn off and on. Invite people to help re-create the space -- creates excitement as everyone feels part of creating the space (like when it's new).<br />
<br />
Greeters Pattern: welcome everyone, give tour which includes what space is and is not about. Supports Cultural Immune System Pattern.<br />
<br />
Conflict Resolution Pattern<br />
: -- having a system helps!<br />
<br />
Gender Equality at spaces<br />
<br />
Burnout by community members (or board/officers)<br />
<br />
Organizational structures: anarchy, board-run<br />
<br />
Decision-making: consensus, majority vote<br />
<br />
'''Cultural Immune System Pattern:'''<br />
<br><br />
'''Problem:''' You want people in your hackerspace who are good for your community, and want to keep them happy and safe -- and you don't want to attract people who will hurt your community or drive away people who are good for your community.<br><br />
'''Solution:''' Social control, "Cultural immune system"<br />
