-I would avoid these patterns. I've noticed that a lot of wealthy non-profits and profit companies have taken to invading hackerspaces like SudoRoom to get free publicitiy and to lure people to their classes. This is very uncool!
+This is a public service, community-driven event.
+Please do not come to this event to advertise your organization's $500 arduino class, persuade people to spend a lot of money at your for-profit or non-profit company's store, or to distract people from actually making stuff.
-* Turning this into an event where someone can hype their street fashion / street art label / gallery instead of collaborating and creating.
-* Spending the first 20 minutes of the meeting talking about projects going on in other spaces and watching videos of established cartoonists.
-* The event getting hijacked from someone from a wealthy non profit who goes on and on for 20 minutes trying to get participants to sign up for $300 arduino classes.
-* Someone showing up and trying us to put all our stuff on a start-up's freemium creative drawing website / social networking start-up.
-* Someone getting paid for an art supply company telling us to spend all our money there on expensive art supply stuff. If you need supplies there are plenty of cheap places like the East Bay Depot for Creative reuse where you can get used markers for pennies.
-* People showing up and getting us involved in messy affairs in local politics.
