Basically we've come the observation that "*use common sense*" and "*be excellent*" don't always suffice as a *code of conduct*. This is because different people have different realities, values and morals. We think this diversity is a good thing. However in a communal context where these realities clash with each other it creates friction and conflict.
Members are encouraged to apply the two basic rules to the best of their abilities. *Be excellent to each other* implies treating others the way you want to be treated, which is considered by almost all moral systems as [the golden rule](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule).
Only members are allowed to have personal property in the space. You get one box where you can leave your stuff. If you need more space for your projects, bring it up in a group meeting.
If you damage or lose space property, you have to notice the Group Of Members immediately via the mailing-list. In the mail, you say what happened and if/how you will fix it. If the Group Of Members do not agree to this, they will have to put it forward on the next meeting.
Only members are allowed to take space property out of the space. If you take space property out of the space, you have to notify the Group Of Members immediately via the mailing-list. In the mail, you have to include when you'll return it. If any other member disagrees, you put it back.
* Keep the dishes clean: when using the dishes, clean your dishes and any dishes that are standing there. When you see other people using the dishes, and they forget cleaning them, give them a gentle reminder.
* Keep the desks clean, feel free to use the deskspace for your stuff, you can leave your stuff on the desk when you just 'pop out for some food', but leave a note stating when you'll be back. _Do Not_ leave it there until the next morning.
* Every once in a while there will be a cleaning day in the space, as a good upstanding member of the community you should attend one of these at least once quarterly. Many hands make light work.
* If you are the last person to leave the space, it's your responsibility to clean up. If you see people leaving, please alert them if they have left their trash in the space.
* Some things that seem a useless waste of space to you, might be very valuable to other people. When you throw things away, it has to be decided upon by the group, via the decision model of the group.
* Some moments are 'louder' than others, so it's not always easy to follow. Sometimes library/office-rules apply, sometimes workshop-rules and sometimes bar-rules. When in doubt, check with the other members.
