[sudo-discuss] Proposal: Should we adopt a code of conduct and statement of intent?

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.
