			Mediation / Conflict Resolution Pattern:<br>
			1. assume it's interpersonal, and work it out one-on-one<br>
			2. pick mediator from list of volunteers<br>
			3. mediator ensures everyone feels listened-to, and safe<br>
			(mediator also looks for possible feelings from one or more parties that could indicate that this is more than an interpersonal problem)<br>
			4. ask those involved what behaviors they are willing to change<br>
			5. by end of mediation (more sessions, if necessary), everyone involved should feel good enough to continue to use the space<br>


			Clean up after yourself (and a little bit more).


			Greeter Pattern:
			Everyone who comes to visit should be greeted, made to feel welcome, and given a tour if they are new. The tour includes what the space is about, and what it is not about. In this way the unique culture of the space is continually passed on to new people.
			To help further facilitate the passing along of the spaces culture, it helps to have a bar/place in the space where people can congregate and get Club Mate (or other drinks).

			I would update the "Old Hardware" pattern to say that you should not
			usually accept donations unless agreed by consensus first. I would
			call this the "Cathode Ray Tube anti-pattern". All things can be
			reused, but leaving things on a shelf is not re-use. In my experience,
			it is very easy to acquire things and difficult to dispose of them.
			Some hackspaces will have to pay to dispose of waste.

			I would expand the 'Community' pattern to say: set up a mailing list,
			wiki and IRC channel, and everything else you like. There can be long
			debates about mailman vs Google Groups vs forum software, IRC vs Slack
			or MediaWiki vs ikiwiki - if someone is willing to maintain any of
			those for a year, let them do it, and let people vote with their feet.

	Most people have strong opinions.
