## Ask them what they're interested in! This will help engage them and interest them in joining. If they're interested in a subject you don't know about, try to point them to someone who does if you can. Tours get very boring and dull if it's full of uninteresting (to the people involved) stuff. | ## Ask them what they're interested in! This will help engage them and interest them in joining.

## What the Hackspace is not | ### London Hackspace is a member-run organisation where like-minded people can create things, adjust things in interesting ways, repair things, and use shared tools and facilities to achieve their goals. | ||
## What the Hackspace is not | |||
### London Hackspace is not a bureaux service for getting other people to do your work for you, it has no salaried staff, and it is run by members. | |||
## The etiquette that helps it run | ## The etiquette that helps it run | ||
###The space and organisation: | |||
#### We need everyone's help to keep things organised. Everyone is expected to help with maintenance and cleanliness. | |||
#### We do welcome your donations! (Show the donation tin.) | |||
#### If you start using the Hackspace more regularly you're encouraged to become a member. The size of your monthly payment is up to you; recommended amount is at least £20/month, some pay as much as £100/month. | |||
#### We're currently trying a new monthly [[Hack the Space Day]] where experienced & new members come together to work on the space: infrastructure improvements, cleanups, tool maintenance, … whatever we deem appropriate at the time. | |||
###The community: | |||
#### We're very approachable, although sometimes shy. If you are unsure about something: just ask around. | |||
#### But be aware that the people around you may be busy with project work and may not have time to chat. Tuesday evenings are the best time for a visit if you're new and want to meet new people. | |||
#### The hackspace has a large social scene that includes many specialists of a wide range of disciplines. The best way to reach them is to post questions on the mailing list. | |||
