Code of Conduct

2021-04-10T02:38:14Z

Robby O'Connor:

This is was adopted at the [[Meeting_2021-03-29#Implement_and_adopt_a_CoC_.28Code_of_Conduct.29|March 2021 Business Meeting]].

''The suspension and expulsion sanctions may require Bylaws changes which would have to be drafted and adopted at a formal meeting of members with 10 days’ notice. Giving that notice would require a board decision. The Code of Conduct will apply to the extent permitted by the Bylaws. As a temporary measure until the Bylaws can be amended, if the Code of Conduct Committee adopts a consequence that can only be implemented as a decision of the members, the Committee may recommend that consequence in a report at a business meeting, at which it must either pass on the Consensus Agenda, if there are no objections, or be voted upon without debate.''

== Code of Conduct ==

The Hack Manhattan (HM) community is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.

This code of conduct applies to all Hack Manhattan sponsored spaces, including our mailing lists, chat (e.g. our Slack), as well as any other spaces that Hack Manhattan hosts, both online and off. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the Hack Manhattan Code of Conduct Committee (CoC Committee).

Some Hack Manhattan-sponsored spaces may have additional rules in place, which will be made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for knowing and abiding by these rules.

=== Definitions ===

Harassment includes:

* Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, or religion
* Sustained disruption of discussion
* Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment.
* Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names
* Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behavior in spaces where they’re not appropriate
* Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others
* Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease
* Deliberate "outing" of any aspect of a person’s identity or history of trauma without their consent, except as necessary to protect other members or other vulnerable people from intentional abuse
* Publication of non-harassing private communication
* Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes
* Unwelcome sexual attention
* Physical contact and simulated physical contact (for example, textual descriptions like ''"hug"'' or ''"backrub"'') without consent or after a request to stop
* Threats of violence
* Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm
* Deliberate intimidation
* Stalking or following

The Hack Manhattan community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged people’s comfort. The Hack Manhattan Code of Conduct Committee will not act on complaints regarding:

* "Reverse"-isms, including "reverse racism," "reverse sexism," and "cisphobia" (because these things don't exist)
* Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as "leave me alone," "go away," or "I'm not discussing this with you."
* Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts
* Communicating in a "tone" you don’t find positive enough
* Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions

=== Reporting ===

If you are being harassed by a member of the Hack Manhattan community, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please submit a report or concern by emailing the Code of Conduct Committee. You may report harassment anonymously, or you can choose to include your contact information if you would like the Code of Conduct Committee to follow up with you for further investigation or to communicate actions that have been taken.

Reports will be handled by the Hack Manhattan Code of Conduct Committee. For the time being, the Code of Conduct Committee is identical to the Board of Directors, and can be contacted at:

Email: board@hackmanhattan.com

The members may appoint a permanent Code of Conduct Committee in due course, and may appoint new members to and remove members from the CoC Committee from time to time. Appointments and removals may also be made on an ''ad hoc'' basis for the consideration of a particular incident or set of incidents only. Decisions relating to the CoC Committee may be taken at a monthly business meeting as a decision of the members.

If the person who is harassing you is on the CoC Committee, they will recuse themselves from handling your incident. In this situation, you may also contact an individual CoC Committee member instead of submitting a report on the form, or have a friend submit your report. Otherwise, please do not contact private email addresses or social media accounts for reporting harassment.

If you contact the committee with a concern or report, we collectively commit to acknowledging your report within 24 hours. If you contact an individual member of the committee, we cannot commit that specific individual to a specific response time, but they will make their best effort to respond as quickly as possible. By default, we commit to making a decision about your report within 10 business days. Depending on the situation, we may commit (clearly) to a different timeline for a decision. We reserve the right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith.

=== Scope ===

This code of conduct applies to Hack Manhattan sponsored spaces, but if you are being harassed by a member of the HM community outside our spaces, we still want to know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by Hack Manhattan community members seriously. This includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any point in time. The Code of Conduct Committee reserves the right to exclude people from the HM community based on their past behavior, including behavior outside HM spaces and behavior towards people who are not in the HM community.

=== Goals ===

The primary goal of Hack Manhattan’s Code of Conduct enforcement is to protect Hack Manhattan (and its members and other participants) from harm.

There is other work that we do to support our primary goal—for example, showing folks what acceptable behavior looks like, educating individuals as to why their conduct was harmful, and serving as an instantiation of our feminist values—but our first priority is to protect our community, especially members who have been the target of a Code of Conduct violation.

This model means that there are some things the Code of Conduct Committee doesn’t do. We do not facilitate apologies, provide mediation of disputes, coach harassers on how to be better, or pass messages between harassers and targets. We may choose an action that is not exactly the target’s desired response, based on our scope, goal of protecting the community, and understanding of the situation.

=== Confidentiality ===

We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting targets of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or warn the members only, or privately warn third parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of HM members or the general public. We will not name harassment targets without their affirmative consent.

=== Consequences ===

If a participant engages in harassing behavior or other behavior that violates the Code of Conduct, the CoC Committee may take any action we deem appropriate given the seriousness of the violation and other factors we find relevant. Enforcement of the Code of Conduct does not by itself constitute violation of the Code of Conduct.

Example actions and consequences may include:

* A verbal warning or email warning to a person that their behavior was unacceptable
* A notice to the members mailing list
* A temporary or permanent ban from the space and/or online platforms such as Slack and the email lists.
* Temporary or permanent removal of membership
* Involving the HM Board if there is a legal risk to HM or legal action necessary
* Identification of a participant as a harasser to other HM members or the general public

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

== Commemorative Coins ==

@mugenity created a one year anniversary coin for the nycmakesppe.com effort. The coins were designed to contain a microSD card with a thank you note. This is token that may be useful for a new fundraising campaign.

Designs can be found in https://github.com/hackmanhattan/3DModeling/tree/main/nycmakesppe.

{| class="wikitable"
|+ Material Breakdown
|-
! Material !! Cost Per Purchase Unit !! Cost per Coin || Notes
|-
| Resin || $25 per 500mL per can || $0.40 || very fragile to dropping, might need clear epoxy reinforcement
|-
| Aluminum || $? || $? || difficult to smelt safely
|-
| Pewter || $105 per 4lb || ? || sculpt.com
|}

=== Additional Costs ===
* Delivery to supporters (Possible per envelope)
* MicroSD modification requires purchasing a microSD click slot for around $0.20 per unit
* MicroSD containing a thank you note or media would cost $4.50 for a 16GB (smallest available at Microcenter)

=== Cost research ===
* Etsy shows listings for metal coins ~$20 and hundreds of sales https://www.etsy.com/search?q=coin
* Resin coins could go for similar prices if reinforced so dropping doesn't cause breakage
* 100 coins sold at $10 would be ~$900 profit.

== Raise money on Kickstarter or Indiegogo.com ==

Examples of successful hackerspace kickstarters:

Example of unsuccessful hcakerspace kickstarters:

* http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/alphaonelabs/alpha-one-labs-hackerspace-is-purchasing-a-jcut-40?ref=live

The unsuccessful ones were overly specific. The successful ones were about the entire project. I think we can pull off a $3000-6000 fund-raising campaign, easy. More if we have some larger goals like the green roof project or educational stuff for kids that might contribute to the city directly.

Robby O'Connor:

==Consensus Agenda==
* Status update on rent for coming months

== New Business ==

=== Fundraising processes made by newly formed Fundraising Committee ===

=== Implement and adopt a CoC (Code of Conduct) ===

"Be 3Xc3LL3n7 t0 3aCh 0Th3r" as a hacker "one rule"/mantra just doesn't work. It didn't work at Noisebridge, it doesn't work at maker/hacker cons. A CoC Creation Committee needs to get down and work on a CoC and reporting mechanism to be established either by this meeting or the next. A CoC Committee that handles reports and any related administrivia needs to be established, and it can be comprised of the creation committee and/or the board for now.

* HacDC which we were originally modeled after has an [https://wiki.hacdc.org/index.php?title=Anti-Harassment_Policy Anti-Harrassment Policy] which is based on example policy from [https://geekfeminism.wikia.org/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment Geek Feminism].

* Noisebridge stilll tries to operate under their One Rule (TM), but they also have [https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Community_Standards Community Standards] and an [https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/Anti-Harassment_Policy anti-harassment policy]. Some sections to consider in their documentation are some bits and pieces from their General Guidelines, but especially their Requests to Leave, copied below:
** '''Requests to Leave'''
*** If someone is acting in a way incompatible with our community standards, '''you are empowered to ask them to leave Noisebridge immediately'''.
*** (This emphasis is mine) '''You are under no obligation to do ask someone to leave, and absolutely should not confront someone who you think poses a physical danger to you. Please ask for help if you feel you need or want help.'''
*** If someone asks you to leave Noisebridge, you should immediately leave, whether or not you think their request was legitimate or in good faith.
*** If someone asks you to leave, you should not return until the conflict has been resolved, hopefully through mediation.

Robby O'Connor: /* Proposal: COVID-19 TESTING PROTOCOL & RESOURCES */

==Consensus Agenda==
===Proposal: COVID-19 TESTING PROTOCOL & RESOURCES===
Members and other visitors must have a negative SARS-CoV-2 test result which is no more than 2 weeks old if not at the space alone. The board may approve exceptions in case of extenuating circumstances, for example, difficulty getting a test or results from a test, very limited contact with potential exposure, a history of COVID-19, or positive IgG test combined with evidence of recovery. The board should discuss creating a list of free testing centers based on member demographic & consult with NYCPPE as needed going forward.

Meeting 2020-04-28

2020-04-01T04:24:30Z

Robby O'Connor: migrating from March meeting

==Consensus Agenda==

=== T-shirt pricing ===

T-shirts will be sold for $20, payment by PayPal only, other payment methods on case-by-case basis

=== Shway and Chaz's Birthday and HM Summer Combo Party ===

We will have this party on July 29th or an adjacent weekend. Possibly renting Secret Loft. Any expenses to be proposed later.

=== Proposal to unschedule Thursday public nights ===
As proposed in the conversation on the members slack channel. The idea is that reducing our public nights to once a week would alleviate some of the stress faced by the current membership in having to host/be responsible for guests.

=== There should be no phone in the space ===

HM or members would have to start paying for the service soon. It's not that much money, a few dollars per month. But if members don't want to receive phone calls, then its only use would be on average one outgoing call per month, and it's another physical object that takes up space and needs to be maintained (or at least someone needs to know how it works).

=== Deputy treasurers ===

Add Rule 12 to the rules:

The board may appoint and remove one or more members as deputy treasurers, and the members may remove the same or disqualify members from such appointments. If deputy treasurers are appointed, the treasurer and deputy treasurers serve together as the Treasury Expert Group under such rules and procedures as may be prescribed by the board from time to time. The board may grant deputy treasurers signing authority over the corporation's bank accounts, and other similar powers.

=== Terminating membership and banning banning mz from HM ===

mz accused several members of racism, sexism and transphobia and subsequently lobbied for their banning. mz does not understand jokes. It led to the insinuation that he is a Maoist dictator and HR when he was still part of the board. He yelled at people if he felt members severely overstepped boundaries, even during an open house incident in which he accused a member of making racist jokes targeting a member that had previously mentioned that he was targeted by such jokes before. His board membership prevented a "diversity of thought" on the board leading to problematic relationship between the board and the membership. He does not accept explanations for repeated missteps. This situation needs to be resolved. mz hereby proposes the termination of mz's membership and subsequent permanent banning from the space.

* being a dick by wasting meeting time trying to get himself banned --[[User:Guan|Guan]] ([[User talk:Guan|talk]]) 16:54, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

=== Terminating membership of and banning Charlie from the space ===

Charlie has been problematic since he joined the space. There was an attempt to terminate his membership and it failed prior. This time, we want to illustrate that there was a pattern of and unwillingness to change his behavior. In one very recent incident, he used a racial epithet recently in a conversation. Couple this with the complaints from the prior attempt, it establishes a pattern of behavior. His past behavior is included when considering this proposal. His behavior is antithetical to the community we wish to foster and have thus far been unable to reign his behavior in.

Additionally, On Saturday, March 7, I came into the space in the afternoon and looked outside on our porch and saw one of the foam insulation pieces laying on the ground on our porch outside the window and immediately was wondering how it got there. Later examination showed that it had a break, and that break was caused by a strong gust of wind that caused the form to sway in the wind, eventually snapping and falling forward. The foam insulation stack was secured only at the bottom with a piece of wood propped up against an AC unit which we do not own, putting stress on the metal but the top portion was not secured in any way. This is very unsafe. At that point, I and another member of the space brought them back into the space and I stowed them in the garbage closet in the hallway since it was the only place to put them that was not a lot of effort. He has yet to apologize for this and instead acted as if he was being harassed, which is his MO when it comes to this.

Charlie has shown that he does not respect the space, its members, and will continue to be a danger to the very existence of Hack Manhattan in its current form. Given the most recent incident of him storing his project in an unsafe manner, this ban will be permanent. The board does not believe that Charlie can change at this point. Trying to claim he's being harassed when somebody is angry at him for threatening the very existence of the space is a behavior we cannot tolerate.

=== Implement and adopt a CoC (Code of Conduct) ===

"Be 3Xc3LL3n7 t0 3aCh 0Th3r" as a hacker "one rule"/mantra just doesn't work. It didn't work at Noisebridge, it doesn't work at maker/hacker cons. A CoC Creation Committee needs to get down and work on a CoC and reporting mechanism to be established either by this meeting or the next. A CoC Committee that handles reports and any related administrivia needs to be established, and it can be comprised of the creation committee and/or the board for now.

Additionally, On Saturday, March 7, I came into the space in the afternoon and looked outside on our porch and saw one of the foam insulation pieces laying on the ground on our porch outside the window and immediately was wondering how it got there. Later examination showed that it had a break, and that break was caused by a strong gust of wind that caused the form to sway in the wind, eventually snapping and falling forward. The foam insulation stack was secured only at the bottom with a piece of wood propped up against an AC unit which we do not own, putting stress on the metal but the top portion was not secured in any way. This is very unsafe. At that point, I and another member of the space brought them back into the space and I stowed them in the garbage closet in the hallway since it was the only place to put them that was not a lot of effort. He has yet to apologize for this and instead acted as if he was being harassed, which is his MO when it comes to this.

Charlie has shown that he does not respect the space, its members, and will continue to be a danger to the very existence of Hack Manhattan in its current form. Given the most recent incident of him storing his project in an unsafe manner, this ban will be permanent. The board does not believe that Charlie can change at this point. Trying to claim he's being harassed when somebody is angry at him for threatening the very existence of the space is a behavior we cannot tolerate.

=== Implement and adopt a CoC (Code of Conduct) ===

"Be 3Xc3LL3n7 t0 3aCh 0Th3r" as a hacker "one rule"/mantra just doesn't work. It didn't work at Noisebridge, it doesn't work at maker/hacker cons. A CoC Creation Committee needs to get down and work on a CoC and reporting mechanism to be established either by this meeting or the next. A CoC Committee that handles reports and any related administrivia needs to be established, and it can be comprised of the creation committee and/or the board for now.

Meeting 2020-03-31

2020-03-12T01:00:11Z

Robby O'Connor: /* Terminating membership of and banning Charlie from the space */ add latest incident and make the ban be forever

==Consensus Agenda==

=== T-shirt pricing ===

T-shirts will be sold for $20, payment by PayPal only, other payment methods on case-by-case basis

=== Shway and Chaz's Birthday and HM Summer Combo Party ===

We will have this party on July 29th or an adjacent weekend. Possibly renting Secret Loft. Any expenses to be proposed later.

=== Proposal to unschedule Thursday public nights ===
As proposed in the conversation on the members slack channel. The idea is that reducing our public nights to once a week would alleviate some of the stress faced by the current membership in having to host/be responsible for guests.

=== There should be no phone in the space ===

HM or members would have to start paying for the service soon. It's not that much money, a few dollars per month. But if members don't want to receive phone calls, then its only use would be on average one outgoing call per month, and it's another physical object that takes up space and needs to be maintained (or at least someone needs to know how it works).

=== Deputy treasurers ===

Add Rule 12 to the rules:

The board may appoint and remove one or more members as deputy treasurers, and the members may remove the same or disqualify members from such appointments. If deputy treasurers are appointed, the treasurer and deputy treasurers serve together as the Treasury Expert Group under such rules and procedures as may be prescribed by the board from time to time. The board may grant deputy treasurers signing authority over the corporation's bank accounts, and other similar powers.

=== Terminating membership and banning banning mz from HM ===

mz accused several members of racism, sexism and transphobia and subsequently lobbied for their banning. mz does not understand jokes. It led to the insinuation that he is a Maoist dictator and HR when he was still part of the board. He yelled at people if he felt members severely overstepped boundaries, even during an open house incident in which he accused a member of making racist jokes targeting a member that had previously mentioned that he was targeted by such jokes before. His board membership prevented a "diversity of thought" on the board leading to problematic relationship between the board and the membership. He does not accept explanations for repeated missteps. This situation needs to be resolved. mz hereby proposes the termination of mz's membership and subsequent permanent banning from the space.

=== Terminating membership of and banning Charlie from the space ===

Charlie has been problematic since he joined the space. There was an attempt to terminate his membership and it failed prior. This time, we want to illustrate that there was a pattern of and unwillingness to change his behavior. In one very recent incident, he used a racial epithet recently in a conversation. Couple this with the complaints from the prior attempt, it establishes a pattern of behavior. His past behavior is included when considering this proposal. His behavior is antithetical to the community we wish to foster and have thus far been unable to reign his behavior in.

About:
I want to make things. Preferably *new* things that don't exist, as opposed to copies of things that already exist. Also preferably silly things that aren't likely to make money, because profit motives suck the fun out of projects.
I've been programming since basically when I could read, because both my parents were in the computer training business and when I ran out of Dr. Seuss the only things left were Visual Basic textbooks.

Projects:
8-bit (65C02 based) Game Console
Linear Film Processor
Automated plant waterer

Thinking about building:
Electronic sampling instrument inside guitar hero controller
face-mounted food paste dispenser for VR with flavor injectors
WIFI-enabled NES cartridge
