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 and docs. Danish as primary for service UIs, English as secondary.
  • Environments: containerized, reproducible setups.
  • Hardware: all setups documented + labeled physically.
  • Decisions: lightweight markdown decision logs.
  • Licenses for what we build: MIT by default.
