== What is a memorandum of understanding? ==
The projects and research we’re interested in:
- contributing to our neighbourhoods - agitating, facilitating, and nurturing collaborations between people - working towards a more resilient, independent community - creating, articulating and generating possible futures By spending time at Frontyard or making use of its physical or digital assets, you are committing to maintain “The Vibe” and caretake the space in a respectful way that make makes others sharing it with you feel safe. We want to create a community where people are free to be themselves without judgement or discrimination, regardless of sexuality, age, ethnicity or ability. Spaces are not safe simply because we designate them as such – it requires the combined efforts of us all. There are going to be times when each of us make mistakes. These mistakes are opportunities to learn from each other, and grow as individuals and as a community. Some things to consider:
- Respect people’s opinions, beliefs, and differing points of view
- Respect the physical and emotional boundaries of others
- Respect everyone’s right to live without intimidation, harassment, or discrimination
- Respect people’s right to privacy and self-determination
- Respect the Space itself and the fact that it is shared with many Frontyard’s monthly open house events are where open conversation takes place with the community . These events are on between 1.00 pm 1pm and 3.00pm 3pm on the last Sunday of each month. If you are a resident at Frontyard and one of the open house afternoons are on during your residency period, it would be appreciated if you could be there, or let us know if you can’t.
== Access ==
== Communication, Information Sharing, & Consultation ==
We primarily communicate face-to-face over a cuppa and digitally on [[Slack]], and we try and keep all conversations and channels public and open to the Frontyard community. Generally the quickest way to find out about what's happening at Frontyard is via our website at <nowiki>http://www.frontyardprojects.org</nowiki>. The best way to get in touch with a Janitor or community of Frontyarders is via our [[Slack| Slack channels]]. Sign up here: https://frontyard-slackin.herokuapp.com/
All official communications are in writing, usually in email form. Please allow a few days for people to respond via email, as we are all volunteers and the Janitors share this responsibility.

The signing of this the Emergency Contact Form (which Janitors can find bookmarked in the #janitors and #residencies Slack channels) acts as an acknowledgment of the above MoU . It is not a formal undertaking, but it is made in the hope that the community will strive to reach the objectives stated in the MoU, to the best of their ability.
