# makerFLOSS – Working Norms (v0.1)

We aim to experiment, learn together, and have fun. MakerFLOSS is not the same as the Orange Makerspace IT setup — but we help out where we can.

We keep rules to a minimum. Here are the main ones:

- Social
  - We make mistakes — but try to make them in our labs, not in production.
  - If you break something, try to fix it. If you can't, say so and ask for help.
  - We only use proprietary software when there is no viable FLOSS alternative.
  - We foster collaboration by being open and not gatekeeping (everyone can get root access).
  - Try not to do anything that forces us to write a new rule.

  - Decisions: Sociocratically decided - lightweight markdown decision logs.
  - Licenses: FLOSS (MIT) by default.
