Yeah, I agree that with the values and purpose/intent it’s more important to be specific.
Especially because I think the stated intent (based on sudoroom’s wiki: social change,
community engagement, etc.) is actually quite a bit more ambitious relative to, say,
Noisebridge, whose vision statement is (paraphrasing) “provide infrastructure and
opportunities for people interested in <various art/technology topics>”.
What does openness and “hack the planet” mean to you? Why are those things important as
values? Are those things also our intent, or is there a separate mission/purpose?

These are great. Personally, I don’t feel the need to overthink things or reinvent the
wheel, so I’d be pretty happy to adopt the community standards pretty much unchanged. I’m
happy to help people edit it as they see fit, but I think it’s overall definitely good
enough.
I think the statements of values are similarly pretty good, although I’d like to edit
them to be a bit more specific. For instance, I think articulating what openness means,
and what what it means to hack the planet, and why, and in the pursuit of what outcome.
But again, I’d say they’re good enough that I’d support them as is if others wanted to
take the path of least resistance.

Here’s some resources from Sudoroom’s wiki and
other hacker/maker space pages that could be useful reference material.
I like how Noisebridge has a specific guidelines on community norms.
How is sudoroom’s purpose different from these other communities?
Part of it might just be a geographical niche, but there are probably intentional
cultural differences as well? What are those?

Should we establish a statement of purpose and a
code of conduct?
I think Sudoroom should adopt a code of conduct, because currently our only behavioral
rules are the Omni Commons Safer Space policy:
https://omnicommons.org/wiki/Safer_Space_Policy
These rules are vital, but are limited to a broad set of wildy unacceptable behavior
anywhere. They don't outline minor and hackerspace specific guidelines on ideal and
discouraged behavior.
PB asked if we have any statement defining our most basic principle or goal, and while it
sounds like there is a lot of diverse informal wisdom, there isn't a clear singular
statement of intent. So I'd like to propose we agree on one of those as well.
I think a starting point for a code of conduct would be something like "Try to
enhance the experience of others in Sudoroom and avoid impeding it", and then we
could go into a few more specific examples like cleaning up, asking people if they'd
like companionship or space when working in the space at the same time, etc.
I don't have any clear suggestions for what our statement of purpose would be, but I
like the values of justice and openness.
Thoughts?
