Community Area

• Introduction round

• Open principle (be welcoming, space status on,...)
• Everyone is invited and encouraged to help on projects around the space
• Do tour the space for other people
• Doing workshops and teaching people is great (+ we have a framework for it, if you don't want to organize it)

• Explain rules (law and order page, code of conduct)

• Space status (how to operate it, where it shows up)
• Door lock (brief intro how it works)
