** Don't solve problems that haven't happened [yet]
 
** Believe in a do-ocracy (just do it!) - (be excellent to each other as you do it)
 
** The Roommate Anti-Pattern (No sleeping/squatting in the space): People will abuse the space and take advantage of resources much more than they give back.
 
** Kitchen Pattern/ Anti-Pattern: Either we make it easy to maintain the kitchen (hook up the dishwasher somewhere and USE IT) or we dis-incentivize the messy-meal abusers.
 
** The Mentor Pattern: Every new member is assigned an experienced mentor, when the member has a question, they can ask the mentor easily
 
** Cultural immune system:  Get the entire community involved with attracting new people who belong. Greet new people at the door, give them a tour, including what your community is and is not about.  Keep people who don’t belong out of the space.  Define what it means to belong and not belong.
 
** Reboot the space!: Close the space.  Kick everyone out.  Only let in people to fix the space.  Throw a party.  Continue to only let in people good for the community.
 
** Community isn't easy but it is very rewarding.

I wish you all the best wherever you may be.
