Hackerspace Ghent has a hackerspace blueprint in which they detail how the place is run.
In short, hackerspace Ghent has adopted synthetocratic principles:
If you want something done: Just do it!AndHave you done something? Great! Now tell others about it. Tell them what you did, and why you did it. A shared chat room or mailing list is a great place to do so. Telling other people about your actions lets them know who to thank and will give you more support.
If somebody complains: Either revert it, or work out a solution with the person who is complaining.
Having no solution is worse than a bad solution.
