# makerFLOSS – Working Norms (v0.1)

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

We try to not have too many rules or guidelines, but here are the main ones:

- Political
  - We make mistakes - but try to mostly make them in our labs and not on our production setup.
  - If you brake something - try to fix it. If you can't, tell and ask for help.
  - We only use non-FLOSS if we really have to.
  - We foster collaboration by being open and not gatekeep (everybody can get root access).
  - Try not to do anything that will make us have to create a boring rule.

- Technical
  - Language: English for code, docs, commits (meeting notes may be in Danish)
  - Git: Trunk-based development, feature branches, simple commit messages
  - Environments: containerized, reproducible setups.
  - Hardware: all setups documented + labeled physically.
  - AI: Allowed but reviewed; no secrets in commits
  - Decisions: lightweight markdown decision logs.
  - Licenses for what we build: FLOSS by default.
