Talk:Hackerspace Design Patterns 2.0

Mission Statement(s), e.g., "Excellence" -- Enforcing and Re-inforcing Hacking "Purity"

Imposter Syndrome Anti-Pattern -- *everyone* has it

Shower Pattern now has an Anti-Pattern,
as does the Kitchen Pattern.

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.

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).

Greeters Pattern: welcome everyone, give tour which includes what space is and is not about. Supports Cultural Immune System Pattern.

Conflict Resolution Pattern

-- having a system helps!

Gender Equality at spaces

Burnout by community members (or board/officers)

Organizational structures: anarchy, board-run

Decision-making: consensus, majority vote

Cultural Immune System Pattern:
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.
Solution: Social control, "Cultural immune system"
