For 90% of people, the following is common sense but for the

remaining 10% : here's something to read.Rule # 0 is the most

fits.

|
||
|
||
#### 0 - Rule 0
|
||
Tetalab operates on the principle of "just do it" and consensus.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Tetalab is a place for anyone who wants to learn and practice
|
||
hacking.
|
||
The Tetalab must be a welcoming and safe place for anyone who
|
||
wants to learn and experiment.
|
||
|
||
#### 1 - We are nice but not lax
|
||
|
||
One of the reasons for the existence of the Tetalab is to allow
|
||
meetings/gatherings to take place. Yet, it is NOT meant as a
|
||
place to chill out.
|
||
|
||
Breaking things is tolerated! For example if you install things
|
||
on the machines available to the members and they break, it is
|
||
not a problem, we will teach you how to repair them and to find
|
||
a solution so that it does not happen any more.
|
||
We are not a company, and we know that our experiments can lead
|
||
to failures, these experiences are also beneficial in order to
|
||
reach the final result.
|
||
It is important that all people who practice at Tetalab feel at
|
||
ease in this place. As a result, each member will avoid
|
||
reproducing patterns of oppression that can be experienced
|
||
elsewhere. (classism, xenophobia, homophobia, sexism,
|
||
transphobia, validism, agism, motherfuckism, authoritarian,
|
||
etc.). Candaulism is nevertheless tolerated.
|
||
|
||
#### DISAGREEMENT (« I agree that we don’t agree »)
|
||
|
||
If you disagree with another member of the community, you should
|
||
try to discuss your differences.
|
||
If you can not work on your differences one-on-one, you should
|
||
consider mediating with a third party.
|
||
If someone asks you to leave him alone or to stop a behavior
|
||
that is directed towards him, do it. This person may be working
|
||
on a project, or have some experience running at the moment.
|
||
|
||
Any unwanted conduct continuously directed at another person is
|
||
considered harassment, and harassment in any form is not
|
||
tolerated within Tetalab.
|
||
|
||
#### EXCLUSION
|
||
|
||
If someone acts in a manner inconsistent with this "guidelines",
|
||
you are encouraged to ask this person:
|
||
* to re-read it,
|
||
* and if the behavior persists, to leave the place.
|
||
Any kind of harassment and oppression will result in an
|
||
immediate, definitive and non-negociatiable exclusion from the
|
||
Tetalab.
|
||
|
||
|
||
#### 2 – Participating and becoming a member
|
||
|
||
You do not have to be a member of Tetalab to participate in the
|
||
activities it organizes (workshops, events, etc.).
|
||
If you regularly attend Tetalab you should consider becoming a
|
||
member. See the dedicated page. Like any other member, you pay
|
||
a portion of the running costs through your membership fee.
|
||
|
||
The Tetalab is NOT a church. It is not intended to accommodate
|
||
all those who would like to be part of it. Consequently Tetalab
|
||
operates in the cooptation mode, membership is not
|
||
systematically granted to those who request it. It seems to us
|
||
that it makes more sense to come and see what happens there
|
||
before officially joining the adventure.
|
||
|
||
#### 3 – Shut up and do it
|
||
|
||
Ideas are useless if they are not followed by actions. Do not
|
||
waste your time (and do not waste that of others) into
|
||
unnecessary and endless palaver.
|
||
Hackerspaces are filled with ideas. But we don't mind you
|
||
talking endlessly as long as your are not being a nuisance to
|
||
the others, their work, and their train of thought.
|
||
|
||
#### 4 – Tetalab, a activist space
|
||
|
||
As part of the Tetalab we are implementing a non hierarchical
|
||
place, and we leave room for self-management and
|
||
self-empowerment of people.
|
||
There is no hierarchy between the members of Tetalab and there
|
||
will never be.
|
||
We defend open-source, datalove, freedom of expression, and this
|
||
place that allows anyone motivated to experiment.
|
||
The Tetalab will systematically refuse any attempt at political,
|
||
social or religious orientation. Your personal choices belong to
|
||
you and you only.
|
||
Tetalab members do not necessarily share your opinions, you can
|
||
be vegan when others are pryapists. Learn to hear other
|
||
people's opinions even when they conflict with your own.
|
||
If you can not bear certain attitudes, certain speeches, check
|
||
the rule 2 and/or you should reconsider your place within the
|
||
Tetalab.
|
||
|
||
#### 5 – Making a donation to the Tetalab
|
||
|
||
No one is obliged to make more donations than the amount of the
|
||
membership fee, but some do so to support us.
|
||
Donations can range from spare parts, to equipment or items that
|
||
have been used for projects.
|
||
Making a donation to the Tetalab doesn’t equal getting rid of
|
||
your old crap such as: prehistorical laptops, or worse, dead
|
||
ones, cathode ray tube screens and other machines with outdated
|
||
architecture (very variable concept) and / or insignificant
|
||
(x86), you got the idea…
|
||
|
||
#### 6 - Getting some help to repair your equipment at Tetalab
|
||
|
||
Your computer does not turn on or has become very slow recently,
|
||
or you are still experiencing Windows or MacOS? We can help you,
|
||
but keep in mind that:
|
||
* It is up to the goodwill of those present to help you.
|
||
* We will help; In no case will it be done for you! The
|
||
Tetalab is not an customer service or repair service!
|
||
* If you learn to solve a problem, you will be able to solve
|
||
it in the future by yourself if it happens again, and help
|
||
someone else who meets the same issue.
|
||
|
||
#### 7 – « You’re not at granny’s » - be responsible for yourself
|
||
|
||
Being a member of Tetalab allows access to the container and
|
||
allows the use of its tools and means at any time but in no way
|
||
to live there. The Tetalab is your hackerspace, not your home:
|
||
living here is not conceivable, do not even think about it!
|
||
The term self-management implies something like "on n'est pas
|
||
chez mémé". This means that everyone is responsible and no one
|
||
passes behind to clean, store, fold, etc.
|
||
Thus, if it is nice to find a table where to put your things, it
|
||
is necessary to leave it clean after you’re gone.
|
||
In the same way, if beers are welcome, empty cans, bottle caps,
|
||
packaging and all waste in general are to be taken with you
|
||
when leaving.
|
||
And we are firm on these points.
|
||
|
||
#### 8 – Health and Safety
|
||
|
||
Safety first ! The hackerspace provides its members with a
|
||
number of tools. Some are dangerous if not used with care.
|
||
For the safety of everyone, before using tools (especially if
|
||
it's a first time), ask an experienced member to explain their
|
||
use.
|
||
If no member is able/available to give you a hand, please wait.
|
||
Tools should be stored and cleaned after use. Chips and other
|
||
debris from your work must be cleaned.
|
||
|
||
#### 9 – Kids and other curious kittens
|
||
|
||
Children are welcome, but be aware that this is mostly an adult
|
||
space.
|
||
Even if "We Make Porn" https://pad.tetalab.org/p/definitions_wmp
|
||
is only an allusion to the freedom offered by the net, be aware
|
||
that hackerspace members do not only use the videoprojector to
|
||
broadcast episodes of my little pony (MLP for the intimates).
|
||
Similarly, members of the Tetalab do not always monitor their
|
||
language.
|
||
Outside the planned "public" events, you probably should not
|
||
bring children if you fear for their psychological balance.
|
||
Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult, and they are usually
|
||
expected to be active during their presence: drooling on the
|
||
keyboard from boredom will be met with a (maybe not so) gentle
|
||
push towards the exit.
|
||
|
||
#### 10 – Apart from Wednesday evening meetings
|
||
|
||
Guests are welcome to Tetalab and Mix'Art-Myrys if accompanied
|
||
by a member.
|
||
Tetalab members have the container lock code in their
|
||
possession.
|
||
This code is strictly secret and for the exclusive use of
|
||
Tetalab members. It should not be shared with anyone, not even
|
||
your mother, spouse or a member of Myrys, regardless of the
|
||
pressures or the person making the request. It is the
|
||
equivalent of your ‘root’ password or the secret code of your
|
||
credit card.
|
||
|
||
#### 11.1 - The Double Dragon 2, our space within Mix'Art
|
||
|
||
The local Tetalab is for the time being a container located
|
||
within Mix'Art Myrys (see below).
|
||
Being a member of Tetalab allows access to the container and
|
||
allows the use of its tools and means in the terms defined
|
||
above.
|
||
It is thus possible to access the container every day, at very
|
||
elastic times, outside the events organized by Mix'Art Myrys
|
||
(available on their website).
|
||
We can therefore come early in the morning and leave very late
|
||
in the evening, even in the night.
|
||
Outside the open hours of the Mix'Art-Myrys audience, you can
|
||
lock the Tetalab, the doors and the access portal of
|
||
Mix'Art-Myrys.
|
||
The container is non-smoker, please respect this rule. A
|
||
non-smoker will always be right to point out that smoking in
|
||
the container is not tolerated.
|
||
Although smoking in the warehouse is tolerated, throwing
|
||
cigarette butts on the floor is unwelcome (see the rule
|
||
« You’re not at granny’s »).
|
||
The container has trash cans, thank you for using them. When
|
||
they are full, feel free (i mean: do it) to empty them and
|
||
replace the garbage bags.
|
||
|
||
#### 11.2 - Sculpture à 50 0000, consommables et matériel
|
||
|
||
Respect the facilities / projects of others. Some things are
|
||
available in the container to be used rather than being hacked.
|
||
In case of doubt, put a sticker stamped with your name, date,
|
||
and the mention "Sculpture 50,000" on your projects so that
|
||
nobody else modifies them, post-it notes are available to you
|
||
use. This reduces congestion and ensures that space is not used
|
||
for forgotten projects (they will end up in the dumpster or
|
||
recycled into spare parts).
|
||
|
||
Currently, at the entrance of the container is a space dedicated
|
||
to the storage of tools, various equipment and some personal
|
||
projects. From time to time this part of the container is
|
||
emptied and people are free to retrieve what they need from the
|
||
objects made available there and only there, so don't forget to
|
||
label your stuff.
|
||
In the container you will find storage of materials: wood,
|
||
tubes, electronic components. There are also boxes filled with
|
||
other materials.
|
||
|
||
All these resources are available to the members of Tetalab, and
|
||
for this we ask you:
|
||
* to inquire about the mailing list or a Wednesday evening to
|
||
know if the material you want to use is not used on another
|
||
project
|
||
* keep the falls (remaining material from cutting) rather than
|
||
throwing them away
|
||
* not to consume too much material, according to your
|
||
interpretation of "too much"
|
||
Taking things out of space temporarily without leaving a note
|
||
with your contact is a sure way to cause problems, the
|
||
corkboard is reserved for this use.
|
||
|
||
#### 12 - Mix'art Myrys, Self-directed Artists Collective
|
||
|
||
The Tetalab is hosted by Mix'art Myrys, which brings together
|
||
artists and associations of diverse and varied backgrounds
|
||
(visual artists, musicians, video mapping, associative TV,
|
||
activist FAI, comedians, ...)
|
||
The pluridisciplinarity of the practices of the place favors the
|
||
development of projects between art and technology, and
|
||
frequently gives birth to collaborations with members of the
|
||
collective.
|
||
If other occupants of the place seem like extraterrestrials to
|
||
you, do not worry, they think the same thing about us!
|
||
Feel free to approach them, everyone has something to bring, and
|
||
everyone has something to withdraw from an exchange of know-how.
|
||
We also participate in open houses and various public events in
|
||
Mix'art to display our work and promote the hacker culture.
|
||
Mix'art Myrys works according to the principle of
|
||
self-management, so all the members are regularly involved in
|
||
the different aspects of the life of the collective.
|
||
This involves participation as "staff" during events (weekdays
|
||
or weekends, THSF, etc.), but also by the involvement in the
|
||
tasks of everydays (cleaning, storage, works, ...).
|
||
As a member association of Mix'art Myrys, all Tetalab members
|
||
are also considered to be members of the collective and, as
|
||
such, must participate in the life of the collective and the
|
||
staff in the same way as all Other Myryssians.
|
||
|
||
#### Last but not least…
|
||
|
||
We want to meet you and learn more about this super cool project
|
||
on which you spend sleepless nights. We encourage you to get to
|
||
know the other Tetalab members: go ahead, ask questions and
|
||
tell us about your personal projects.
|
||
|
||
If you have any questions or comments, you can ask them on the
|
||
public mailing list - tetalab@lists.tetalab.org - (unless this
|
||
is confidential), on the IRC chart freenode.net # tetalab, or
|
||
in person on Wednesday evenings, starting at 9pm.
|
||
|
||
If your questions remain unanswered on the public mailing list,
|
||
you can contact Gnochon and Verax directly. Currently, they are
|
||
dealing with applications for membership.
|
||
|
||
We would like to be very clear about the fact that a hackerspace
|
||
is a place both for you and for other members (see rule 0).
|
||
|
||
We can’t wait to see more of you at Tetalab!
