Nottingham Hackspace Rules¶
Welcome to the Nottingham Hackspace Rules. This contains the rules which every member and guest of the space is expected to follow. They do not define what you can do, only what you must not do. All members are expected to have an awareness of the rules, and confirm that they are understood when becoming a member. If you’re ever unsure, you should always ask, either by emailing the trustees, or by asking on Discord in the appropriate channel.
There are nine core rules,
Rule 0: Do Not Be Unsafe
Rule 1: Membership of the Hackspace
Rule 2: Guests & Visitors
Rule 3: Be Excellent to One Another
Rule 4: Respect the Hackspace
Rule 5: Do Not Hack
Rule 6: Prohibited Activities
Rule 7: Storage in the Hackspace
Additionally, there are four appendices,
Appendix A: Complaints Policy
Appendix B: SafeSpaces Policy
Appendix C: Discord Policy
Appendix D: GDPR and Privacy Policy
Appendix E: Lone Working Policy
We also maintain a list of definitions.
