Lessons learned[edit]

During the operation of a hackerspace, there are many questions and problems that arise from time to time. To save future spaces from having to find optimal solutions for common situations all over again, we're collecting a list of Do's and Don'ts here. Please add your experiences in the subsite for your hackerspace here! The goal is to collect the most common/best/creative solutions. Once we have enough reports here, they will form the hackerspace manual to come.

In other countries the bylaws might be called statutes or something else (see wikipedia By-law, wikipedia Articles of Incorporation and wikipedia Charter)
