Excellence

Our One Rule is to Be Excellent to Each Other. (On first Tuesdays, seek a few definitions. Other Tuesday, give a 1-3 sentence summary.)

Try not to use acronyms like NASA or ESO...

Excellence is an astute awareness that we are sharing a space and a community. Be aware that your actions here impact others.

What does that mean? Please see our page on excellence https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Excellence!

Anti-Harassment Policy & Community Standards of Excellence

Noisebridge has an Anti-Harassment Policy https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Anti-Harassment_Policy Everyone is expected to follow the Anti-Harassment Policy, please familiarize yourself with it.) TWO MINUTES MAX More approachable & specific guidelines, https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Community_Standards https://safespace.noisebridge.net/ is one way to quickly raise issues which will be seen by people in Slack.

Brief Kudos

Recent examples of excellent behavior, say 3, unless the passion moves you.

Zack - kudos to Jayleen for being instrumental in helping organizing the art show.

JD + Elan - kudos to Zack for dealing with the art show as well!

From/Raised by: Josh Seeking: notice, next steps On topic: Super not excellent to run around on our membrane roof.

do we know who?   an asian girl and some other people. relayed to me 3rd party

walking on the membrane roof voids the 30-year membrane warranty,

do invesitgative research, excellently let folks know that no one should be on our roof, due to possibly damaging the roof/ voiding its 30 year warranty

about 2 weeks ago we found a ladder up on the roof, which could allow someone to climb into the adjacent bldg theoretically
