 ===== Tidy Space Policy ===== ===== Tidy Space Policy =====
  
 +This policy is based on the Tidy Space Policy as implemented by Pumping Station One (Chicago). The Tidy Space Policy is designed to make the “space” in “hackerspace” easier for everyone to use. It introduces a visual system of marking and tagging to indicate when something is out of place, and gives people tools to help keep things orderly. It relies on participation from every member, but is administered by Tidy Space Committee members and officers. It is, of course, to be executed alongside the Vancouver Hackspace Society Code of Conduct and the overarching rule: “be excellent to each other.”

 Designating “walkways” is an excellent way for Tidy Space Committee members to keep floorspace clear and are recommended for areas around stationary tools, shelves, and anywhere else where obstructions are unacceptable. Designating “walkways” is an excellent way for Tidy Space Committee members to keep floorspace clear and are recommended for areas around stationary tools, shelves, and anywhere else where obstructions are unacceptable.

 You might feel frustrated when other people's projects are left in your way. That's understandable. But remember the rules. Be respectful and non-confrontational. Keep in mind that nobody's perfect, and that lapses in policy cannot be blamed solely on one individual. Use the opportunity to improve the space’s operation through communication. You might feel frustrated when other people's projects are left in your way. That's understandable. But remember the rules.
