==General Guidelines== ====Get members/philanthropists involved==== '''You don't have to be a member to start an event.''' It's recommended to involve at least one Noisebridge member/philanthropist as part of your planning to avoid common pitfalls when working with Noisebridge. Ask around the space for a member, or ask on the discuss [[mailinglist]]. ====Communicate the event to the group==== '''Publicize the event to the users of Noisebridge''' via the 8PM Tuesday meeting, this [[Category:Events|wiki]], the [[mailinglist|Noisebridge discussion and announcement mailing lists]], and the [[IRC|Noisebridge IRC channel]], with enough lead time that the community can respond and give feedback. See also, [[Mailinglist/Announce_guidelines]] for help on writing a good announcement mail! Also put the event on our [https://www.meetup.com/noisebridge/events/ Meetup Page] - send a message and ask to become an event organizer to do so. Be aware of the existing ongoing events and try to work around them, even if they're not in your part of the space. Some events like 5MOF and work in the shop can be noisy! Also events might be happening that aren't listed anywhere that may create annoying room scheduling issues. ====Setup and clean up==== '''Leave the space cleaner than you found it.''' Have a plan for setting up the space and have a plan for cleaning up after yourself (and follow it). Someone should arrive about an hour before the event to straighten out the space, clean it, troubleshoot AV, etc. At the end of the event or class, ask people who participated to help clean up the space used. We build our own reality. Can the organizers commit to have someone watch the outside gate/door and keep an eye on vandalism that might affect our neighbors? Can the organizers commit to empty the trash with them and dispose of it rather than leaving our bins overflowing? Crush everything, and bag all the trash and move it to the large bin and empty any smaller bins filled during the event. "Use our tools - Mindfully" Events can use any tools/spaces at Noisebridge that are for general use. However, if you're going to be using a tool, please make sure you know how to use it safely, and not break it. Please help your participants to do the same. ====Donations and fees==== '''Consider asking participants for a monetary donation to Noisebridge during your event.''' We have a recommended [[Preamble | one minute preamble]] for event organizers to say at the beginning of their meetings. It explains how we work, and how your visitors can help keep Noisebridge going. Noisebridge prides itself in being an open space to all that are excellent. '''Please keep in mind that we generally don't host classes or events that have a participation or class fee.''' Charging for materials or kits is acceptable (such as buying a blinking LED kit to work on during [[Circuit Hacking Mondays]]), but shouldn't be required to join in the class or event. ====No age restrictions==== '''Noisebridge is an all ages space''', if your class or event has an age requirement, please bring it up at a Tuesday meeting or on our discussion mailing list before proceeding.
