title: Code of Conduct
|
||
subtitle:

|

|
||
Leigh Hackspace is a shared community workspace that offers the
|
||
facilities needed to make a variety of projects for locals that don’t
|
||
have the accessibility at home. We provide inspiration, equipment,
|
||
ideas, support, training and even some materials for ‘hacking’. All
|
||
with a great community spirit and a ‘can-do’ atmosphere.
|
||
|
||
We have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to. This
|
||
code applies equally to members, volunteers and guests.
|
||
|
||
This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can or can't do.
|
||
Rather, take it in the spirit in which it's intended - a guide to make it
|
||
easier to enrich all of us, our projects, and the broader communities
|
||
in which we participate.
|
||
|
||
This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by Leigh
|
||
Hackspace. This includes, but not limited to, Leigh Spinner Mill,
|
||
social platforms, events, mailing lists and any other forums created
|
||
by the project team which the community uses for communication.
|
||
In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may affect a
|
||
person's ability to participate within them.
|
||
|
||
* **Be friendly and patient**.
|
||
* **Be kind**
|
||
* **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes
|
||
and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This
|
||
includes, but is not limited to, members of any race, ethnicity,
|
||
culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and
|
||
economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation,
|
||
gender identity and expression, age, size, family status,
|
||
political belief, religion, and mental or physical ability.
|
||
* **Be considerate.** You will be working in a communal space,
|
||
and you in turn will be responsible for cleaning up after
|
||
yourself. This includes storage of projects within the
|
||
Hackspace. Projects must be stored within the dedicated
|
||
spaces. If left out, Hackspace holds the right to relocate
|
||
projects to an area where they are not in the way of others.
|
||
* **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but
|
||
disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour and poor
|
||
manners. We might all experience some frustration now and
|
||
then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a
|
||
personal attack. It's important to remember that a community
|
||
where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a
|
||
productive one. Members of the community should be
|
||
respectful when dealing with other members as well as with
|
||
people outside the community.
|
||
* **Be careful in the words that you choose.** Be kind to others.
|
||
Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and
|
||
other exclusionary behaviour aren't acceptable. This includes,
|
||
but is not limited to:
|
||
* Violent threats or language directed against another
|
||
person.
|
||
* Discriminatory jokes and language.
|
||
* Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
|
||
* Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally
|
||
identifying information ("doxing").
|
||
* Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist
|
||
terms.
|
||
* Unwelcome sexual attention.
|
||
* Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above
|
||
behavior.
|
||
* Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone
|
||
asks you to stop, then stop.
|
||
* **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements,
|
||
both social and technical, happen all the time and the
|
||
Hackspace community is no exception. It is important that we
|
||
resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. A
|
||
strength of Hackspace is the varied community, people from a
|
||
wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different
|
||
perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why
|
||
someone holds a viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong.
|
||
Don't forget that it is human to err and blaming each other
|
||
doesn't get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve
|
||
issues and learning from mistakes.
|
||

||

|
||
on constructive interactions.

||

||
If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that
|
||
you report it by emailing [info@leighack.org](mailto:info@leighhack.org).
