This is the website for Hacker Dojo. It is a collaborative hackerspace where tech enthusiasts gather to build, experiment and improve.
+## Wiki Update Guide
+
+This repository builds the HackerDojo website from static files and a JSON data file that contains the wiki content. Staff can update the wiki without digging into the site’s build process by following these steps:
+
+1. **Edit the source wiki** – The raw wiki pages live in the sibling repository `hd-wiki` (located at `../hd-wiki`). Open the relevant HTML or Markdown file and make your changes.
+2. **Generate the JSON data** – Run the extraction script that ships with this project:
+ ```bash
+ cd /home/zmillet/Documents/Web/hackerdojo.org
+ python3 extract_wiki.py
+ ```
+ This script reads the updated wiki files and rewrites `static/js/wiki-data.js`.
+3. **Commit the changes** – Stage the regenerated `wiki-data.js` and commit:
+ ```bash
+ git add static/js/wiki-data.js
+ git commit -m "Update wiki data $(date +%Y-%m-%d)"
+ ```
+4. **Push & rebuild** – Push the commit to the remote repository. The CI pipeline (or your local Jekyll server) will rebuild the site automatically.
+
+### Quick‑run helper script
+For convenience, a small helper script `scripts/update_wiki.sh` is provided. It pulls the latest `hd-wiki` source (if present), runs the extractor, stages the JSON file, and creates a standard commit.
+
+```bash
+./scripts/update_wiki.sh
+```
+
+Make sure the script is executable (`chmod +x scripts/update_wiki.sh`).

Hacker Dojo History
\n
In 2009, several people came together with a similar vision for starting a non-profit community center for geeks. David Weekly had a vision for a community center called \"Hacker Dojo\" where people could teach each other in the art of computer programming (he even had a signed burned into wood in 2002 to capture the idea)! Jeff had been inspired by SuperHappyDevHouse, and wanted a physical manifestation of that spirit. Brian Klug had wanted to lease a space on Castro St. in 2008 for his own hippie vision but was unable to finance the operation along. Like minds started talking and a ridiculous snowball of momentum began.\n
The Founding Directors and several others (including Dean Mao, Nathan Schmidt, and Zonker) were noted as having a particular passion for the vision. The group (varied in size between 10-30 people) started meeting regularly, usually at PBworks HQ in San Mateo. The mailing list was crucial in keeping the group organized and communicating often. They started looking for spaces, figuring out corporate structure (the infamous LLC vs Corporation question), and eventually deciding between 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(6).\n

Hello! Thanks for checking out Hacker Dojo.
📍 Hacker Dojo Location & Hours: 855 Maude Avenue, Mountain View, CA 94043. Guest & Visitor Hours: 7 days a week, 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM. (Members have 24/7 access). Take a Tour: We encourage first-time visitors to Book a 30-minute front desk tour!
\n
We welcome visitors every day!\n
We're usually open 7 days a week 10am to 9pm. A donation of $10 is appreciated. We are welcome to enjoy the free wifi for guests. If you'd like access to faster 1 gig internet, we have $20 day passes available on the home page. Day passes do not include hosting event and lab access. As soon as you sign up as a member you'll be provided access control to the space, and you can use the Dojo 24/7.\n
\nWhat the Dojo's like\n
The space is about half desks and workbenches, and half social space with couches and chairs for hanging out. We have a break room with some fairly intense coffee enthusiasts who like to roast their own coffee, and an electronics lab stocked with goodies, scopes, power supplies, and a 100w Co2 LaserCutter. \n
\nEvery day is a little different at Hacker Dojo, so your visit may or may not reflect a typical visit. Come a few times, join as a member, and help us shape our organization!\n
\nVirtual Tour\nWe have 3 telepresence robots (Thanks to the cool awesome folks at https://ohmnilabs.com) - Mo, Larry and Curly\n
You are welcome to call into any of the robots if they are charged up and available. Once in you can roam around the dojo and talk to members and guests\n
Please be mindful that a robot on the charging port will need to back away from the port. You will see the port on the floor facing the camera. The policies apply to the bots as well\n
Afternoons and evenings, around 3PM, is usually our peak time, in terms of numbers of people. We have many events listed at . If you'd prefer a quieter environment, come earlier in the day. Weekends vary greatly. If the weather is nice in Mountain View (...often!) the place might be empty on a Saturday. Or, there could be a mega-event with 150+ people. Check the events schedule!\n
\nWhat to do\n
A lot of people hack on their laptops. Some people are focused in their work, and a lot of people welcome discussion! A good technique is to walk around, introduce yourself by name, and ask \"What are you working on?\" Feel free to make yourself at home. Use the kitchen, use the electronics lab, talk to people and enjoy.\n
\nHacker Dojo has lots of classes and events that are good ice-breakers. On Friday after work you're quite likely to find us mixing drinks and socializing.\n
This is the Hacker Dojo wiki and knowledge base. This wiki is public and mostly dedicated to members.\nEverything you need to know about Hacker Dojo should be in this wiki. If you feel that some information is missing, feel free to create an account and add the missing content.\n
The Hacker Dojo is a community of engineers, artists, scientists, activists, entrepreneurs and other creative people centered around a co-working and social facility. Feel free to drop by and see for yourself what the Dojo is all about. \n
We're a non-profit, and without the support of our members, we would cease to exist! We currently have three levels of membership which you can sign up for on our website. Our regular membership is just $150 a month for unlimited access to the space.\n
Visitors are always welcome to stop by and see the Dojo. We do encourage you to sign up as a member if you find yourself here more than once.\n
\n
Facilities
\n
For our members' safety, the space is monitored 24/7.\n
\n
Work Space
\n
Most of the Hacker Dojo consists of an open workspace. It is based on a first-come, first-serve policy. Meaning, if you find an open seat, it is free for you to sit in. Guests and members are allowed to sit in the Main Space, Event Room and Classroom. We encourage members to try sitting in different areas throughout the Dojo, so they can meet and interact with other members or visitors. And we highly discourage members from \"squatting\" or \"setting up shop\" in one area. \n
If you find the need for a designated space, sign up for a Hive membership. You will receive a dedicated desk and a room restricted with access control, so it is safe to leave your items overnight. \n
\n
Kitchen/Break Room
\n
This is a shared space. No one likes a filthy kitchen. Clean up after yourself. When you get a cup of coffee, look to see if there are drips all over the counter; if so, get a paper towel and wipe it up.\nPlease be mindful of other food and snacks in the area. If their name is on it, please do not help yourself. Most of the snacks are communal but please understand sharing means contributing as well. \nIf you take snacks or drinks, next time, bring some to share with the community. This is not an open food kitchen.\n
We have two labs in the space; Laser Room and Electronics Lab.\nThe maker space labs have some serious tools in them. Tools that can cut, drill, chop, mill, etc. You should never use the maker space if you are the only person in the building. Doing so is dangerous because if you have an accident there is no one else available to call for help.\n
\n
\n
Wifi & Network
\n
Hacker Dojo is wifi only. No wired access. \n
We monitor the network and if you connect to one of the wifi networks at Hacker dojo you must agree to our Network policies\nPeer-2-peer traffic on illegal and copyrighted content will result in a cancellation of membership.\n
We have 3 wifi networks. \n
\n

This wifi is for guests. It is open. Everybody can access it and can use it. The internet speed here is 5/mbps. On par with your local coffee shop for email checking\n
\n
Hacker Dojo

It is 1 Gig symmetrical \nOnce you sign up, you will receive a welcome email with a personal pin code. You will use this when connecting.

\n
HD-Events
\n
This wifi is dedicated to Event attendees. If you come to the dojo to attend an event and need internet access, please ask your event organizer to give you the wifi access code.\nWhen your device is on the network you should see a splash page. enter the wifi event password on this page and should be able to get internet access for the duration of the event.\nif the splash page does not appear please see our page about How to troubleshoot wifi issues\n
This section is dedicated to members, volunteers, and guests looking to engage the community through shared interest, open source projects, and collaboration. \n

Hacker Dojo is committed to providing a safe and welcoming place for everyone to meet and hack; each one of us, including staff, members, and visitors, are responsible for creating a respectful environment, free of harassment, intimidation, bias, and unlawful discrimination. \n
Hacker Dojo does not tolerate any behavior that (i) disrupts or interferes with another person's rightful use of the Dojo or (ii) creates an intimidating, offensive, or hostile environment. To that end, the Board of Directors of Hacker Dojo (the “Board”) has created this policy to help us all comply with the law and maintain a safe, positive work environment.\n
This policy protects everyone who comes to the Dojo and applies regardless of whether an employee, member, or visitor is engaging in harassing conduct. If you witness or experience behavior that you believe to be harassment, you should report it to a staff member or to the Ombudsperson (as detailed below). Know that if you make a report of harassment in good faith, you will be protected by Hacker Dojo's Non-Retaliation Policy (also detailed below). The Dojo will comprehensively investigate any conduct that is alleged to be harassing, and if it determines that a violation of this policy has occurred, we will take appropriate actions to protect against future violations. \n
What is Harassment?
Behavior that targets an individual and repeatedly makes them feel unsafe or unwelcome specifically because of their age, gender, sex, orientation, race, nationality, origin, or religion may be a violation of that person's civil rights and it may violate this harassment policy. California law defines harassment to include abuse or threats of abuse, stalking, sexual assault, unwanted sexual solicitation or demands for sexual compliance. In particular, sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome verbal, visual, non-verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature or based on someone’s sex that is severe or pervasive and affects working conditions or creates a hostile work environment. Harassing conduct could include sexual pranks, grabbing or touching of a sexual nature, or posting demeaning or offensive materials. Both men and women can be the victims of harassment. \n
However, not all offensive conduct is harassment; a person's actions must be severe and continuous enough to create a hostile environment. General conflicts (such as calling someone a “jerk”), most one-time incidents (such as a single offensive remark or joke), friendly physical gestures (such as a pat on the back), and a staff member's right to manage a difficult or emergent situation (such as escorting a disruptive person off the premises) are generally not considered harassment under the law and this policy. \n
What Should I do if I Experience or Witness Harassment?\nIf you experience or witness behavior that you think is harassing, you should first clearly inform the harasser that his or her conduct is offensive and unwelcome and request that the behavior stop. If the behavior continues, you should immediately bring the matter to the attention of any staff member who is present on the scene. If the staff member is involved in the harassing activity or is otherwise unavailable, the violation should be immediately reported to the Ombudsperson, who can be reached at ombuds((at)) hackerdojo.com. If the Ombudsperson is unavailable or involved in the harassing activity, you may also reach out to any member of the Board at management@hackerdojo.com.\n
If you hear of harassment second-hand, please encourage the affected individual to contact the Ombudsperson to report the incident.\nAnd, of course, if you witness or experience conduct at the Dojo that is criminal or presents an imminent physical danger to any person, you should immediately call 911, cooperate with any responding officer, and request that he or she make a detailed report of the incident.\nWho is an Ombudsperson?\nAn ombudsperson is a volunteer, non-staff position selected by the Board of Directors to serve as a trusted first and primary point of contact for staff, members and visitors. The Board has appointed a lawyer as the Ombudsperson, and he/she can be reached at ombuds ((at)) hackerdojo.com.\nThe Ombudsperson's duty is to accurately and compassionately field complaints from staff, members, and visitors concerning harassment and to ensure that these complaints are timely evaluated and acted upon to secure the safety of those at the Dojo. \n
I've Made a Report; What Happens Next?\n
Once you have made a report, Hacker Dojo will conduct an investigation. While we may request your cooperation during the investigation, we recommend that you do not attempt to independently investigate or resolve any alleged harassment and that you treat the process as confidential. If you report a matter without anonymity, you will be provided appropriate information regarding its final resolution, respecting any confidentiality and legal restraints that may limit what information you can receive. \nIf Hacker Dojo determines that a violation of this policy has occurred, it will take appropriate steps to protect against future violations, which may include termination of the violator's employment or membership rights with Hacker Dojo or banning the violator from the premises.\nYour Report is Treated Confidentially\n
In reporting any matter, your identity will be kept confidential to the greatest extent possible under the circumstances; we will only share the information necessary to conduct a thorough and appropriate investigation. You also have the option of requesting that your report be handled anonymously, but understand that anonymous reporting may affect or impede our ability to thoroughly investigate your complaint. \nOther than reporting the suspected violation, you should treat the matter as confidential and not discuss it with anyone outside of the investigative process. We respect the privacy of all persons involved in the investigation and expect you to do the same. \n
Our Non-Retaliation Policy\n
Hacker Dojo does not retaliate or tolerate retaliation against any person who raises a question or concern; who reports suspected incidents of harassment; or who participates or cooperates in any investigation related to such claim. Our commitment to non-retaliation is a cornerstone of this policy. It assures you that in posing any question, raising any concern, reporting misconduct, or cooperating in any investigation, you will not suffer any negative consequences for doing so—period. Anyone who violates this policy is subject to disciplinary consequences, up to or including termination of employment, revocation of membership, or banning the violator from the premises. \n
In raising any question or concern, reporting misconduct or cooperating with any investigation, you must act in good faith. This does not mean that you need to be right, nor does it mean that your question or concern must have substantial facts to support it. It requires only that the information that you are providing not be fabricated or presented in an intentionally misleading manner.\n
What if I still have questions?\nIf you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, you can reach out to the Ombudsperson at management@hackerdojo.com or talk to any staff member.\n

\n
We have 3 3D printers in the makerspace. While 3D printers can be used in a variety of ways, we have some policies to keep our printers functioning well.\n
\n\n
Filament
\n
Your filament should be kept clean and dry. Dust and dirt on the filament will clog the hot print head and cause your print to fail.\n
\n
PLA and ABS
\n
Recommended for new users. The 3D printers can use other materials, but they each introduce some complexity to the print process. Until you are very familiar with 3D printing and how other materials affect the printing, use PLA and ABS.\n
\n
PLA easily absorbs water from the environment. PLA should be stored in a sealed plastic zip lock bag and you should add desiccant packages inside the bag.
\n
Never use glue on the bed with PLA or ABS.
\n
Never run PLA above 230C. Higher temperatures cause PLA to carbonize and permanently clog the print head.
\n
Do not let PLA sit in an idle hot print head for more than three minutes. Even at the specified working temperature PLA will carbonize and permanently clog the print head. (For instance, don't start the printer to heat up and then go out to get a cup of coffee.)
\n
PET-G
\n
A good material when you are ready to move up. \n
\n
PET-G comes in a variety of specific materials that offer more dimensional stability.
\n
PET-G requires the use of glue on the bed. The glue is NOT for adhesion. Rather, the glue is used to prevent the part from sticking to the bed and ruining it. If you don't use glue with PET-G you will ruin the print bed.\n
Use a purple, washable Elmer's glue stick. Put on just a very, very, very think coat of the glue.
\n
Put the glue on while the bed is cool.
\n
Put the glue over a large part of the bed, but not near the corners.
\n
After you print one part you can position your print to a portion of the bed that has been glued, but has not been printed on yet.
\n
TPU
\n
You MUST use glue for release with TPU.
\n
Strength
\n
There are different aspects to \"strength\", and no material wins in all categories. PLA is rigid, but that can make it brittle, so PLA is seldom the choice for parts needing strength. ABS has long been the choice for functional parts. The printed parts of the Lulzbot are made of ABS. So is Lego. But ABS warps, which is a problem on bigger prints. Nylon and polycarbonate have some great characteristics, but they are tricky to work with, and they aggressively absorb moisture from the air, so you have to keep baking your filament to dry it out. Scroll back to July 18 for some discussion of PC-MAX, a brand of polycarbonate. PET-G is really a wide range of materials, with a wide range of properties. I like ColorFab-HT, although it prints at high temperature, making warpage more of an issue. Most PET-G doesn't warp much at all. A lot of people rave about Innova-1800, although I always had a hard time getting it to stick to the bed. nGen is an easy-to-use PET-G. All of these can be used on the Lulzbot.\n

\n
TAZ
\n
The carriage frame of the TAZ must be square for the printer to work well. The TAZ should NOT be moved around the shop. Every time you move it you risk tweaking the frame. Leave the TAZ where it is! \n
The TAZ has a heated bed. The bed is easily scratched and damaged. Do not pull your part off the bed. Do not gouge at the bed. A new bed costs $150.\n
\n
Design\n
You should print a skirt to 3, especially for small parts
\n
Start up\n
While the bed is cool use the 30% alcohol solution and a paper towel to clean the bed of any residue from the previous user.
\n
Also clean the leveling spots on the four corners of the bed.
\n
Heat the nozzle to 200C
\n
When hot,\n
Pull the old filament from the print head
\n
Insert your filament into the head.
\n
Purge the print head by running filament. Don't be afraid of wasting filament, this is an important step.
\n
Operation\n
As printing starts, watch the head and remove the \"booger\" of filament that forms before the actual printing starts. This will give you a cleaner start to your print.
\n
Part release\n
Let the bed cool completely before releasing your part.
\n
Use the clam knife to GENTLY lift the skirt from around your part.
\n
Now use the putty knife\n
Place the putty knife flat on the bed with the edge of the blade against the edge of your part.
\n
Rap the end of the putty knife with a small hammer. A tap is all it takes and your part will pop off.
\n
DO NOT pry your part from the bed. This will delaminate the bed and ruin it.
\n
Shutdown\n
Do not pull your filament from the hot head. The head has probably cooled by now and you risk breaking off your filament in the print head.
\n
Instead, snip off your filament outside of the print head, leaving two inches of filament.
\n
When the bed is cool, use a damp paper towel to wipe off the bed. If you used glue, wipe until no more purple is seen on your towel.

Hacker Dojo is equipped with a 100W CO2 Laser Cutter (Thunder Laser) located in the Maker Labs. The laser cutter is a high-demand, high-power tool. To ensure community safety and equipment longevity, mandatory safety induction and certification are required prior to use. Active certified members can reserve time slots via our Nexudus Booking Portal.
\n\n
\n
\n\n
Why Use the Laser Cutter?
\n
The laser cutter can be used to precision cut some materials up to 0.25 inches thick. The cuts are computer controlled and thus repeatable. A well focused laser with the correct power and speed will cut a kerf of 0.002 inches in 3mm material.\n
The laser can also be used to mark items by raster scanning an image over the surface. It works in much the way an inkjet printer works, but the laser is used to burn off little bits of the surface of the material to mark the image. The laser is very powerful, but by carefully using a very slight amount of laser power, subtle effects can be achieved. \n
\n
Access to the Dojo Laser
\n
A Dojo member must successfully complete a Dojo Laser Operation Class before using the laser cutter; this is to keep us all safe and the machine running well. Classes are scheduled on an ad hoc basis. If you would like to attend one, post a note to the #laser channel on Slack. \n
\n
Reserving the Laser Cutter
\n
Dojo members can reserve time on the laser by using the Book Amenities icon on your Nexudus Portal. A Dojo member may reserve up to 3 hours at a time, twice a week, for a total of 6 hours a week. If the machine is not reserved, then other members may use it. If you have used your 6 hours in a week, you should not start long laser jobs - if another Dojo member requests access you should let them have the laser within 30 minutes of when they asked for it. \n
\nIf you make a reservation and know you won't keep it, then it's your responsibility to the community to remove your reservation from the system - don't tie up the laser for a reservation that you won't use. Also note that if your job starts running long, you should adjust the end time of your reservation. The reservation system is how we communicate; please use it. If someone abuses the reservation system, they could be denied use of the machine. \n
\n
Laser Support
\n
If you plan on using the laser cutter, join and monitor the #laser channel in the Dojo Slack, also available on your Nexudus Portal. You can ask questions or post updates that the community needs to know. \n
\n
Safety
\n
This machine is dangerous. Used incorrectly it can cause permanent damage to you or other people in the building. As a result of this shared danger, we all have the responsibility to police each other. We each have a duty to question anyone using the laser in a way we feel unsafe. If you are using this machine in an unsafe manner, your laser cutting privileges will be restricted and may result in banishment from the Dojo.\n
Members are allowed to question any laser cutting operator about the materials they are cutting. If you are operating the laser and someone questions you about the safety of your operation, you should not be offended. If someone asks you to stop what you are doing, for any reason, then you must pause your laser job and discuss their concern. If you cannot resolve the concern between the two parties, then seek out a third party. \n
Bottom line: No matter what you are doing on the laser, no matter how important your job is, if someone asks you to stop it for a safety concern, you are obligated to stop IMMEDIATELY. If you do not, then you may lose your access to the laser cutter even if you are later proven correct.\n
\n
Basic Safety Rules
\n
In general these rules apply to the Makerspace.\n
\n
Do not enter the Makerspace intoxicated.
\n
Food and drinks are not allowed in the Makerspace.
\n
Do no lean on the tools or machines i.e. the laser cover is somewhat fragile and can bend (our cover is already bent.
\n
Wear appropriate attire i.e. close toed shoes; protective clothing or gloves; eyewear, breathing masks or earplugs if necessary.
\n
Operational Safety Rules
\n
This is all covered in the class and documentation, but restated here because it is so important.\n
\n
Never leave the laser cutter unattended.\n
You are responsible for monitoring your work and the safety of the space while you use the tools and machines in the Makerspace.
\n
Never cut PVC or chlorinated plastic.\n
You should ALWAYS know what material you are cutting. As the laser cuts/burns some materials can produce highly poisonous and toxic byproducts.
\n
Do not try to cut metal in the laser cutter.
\n
Complete a routine check before cutting.\n
Check that the lense is clean and that the standard functions are all properly working before starting your cut. If you continue to use the laser in a damaged state it will only make the matters worse.
\n
Know how to stop the machine and what to do in the case of a fire.\n
To turn off the laser, simply open the lid of the laser cutter. If you want to keep the lid closed, you can press and hold the pause button.
\n
If there is a fire:\n
Open lid to stop the laser.
\n
Move the material away from the laser head
\n
Press the red emergency stop button on the top right of the machine
\n
Use the fire extinguisher (it is located on the wall to the right of the laser cutter).
\n
If you cannot put out the fire or feel that you are in danger, call 911
\n
Specific Safety for the Thunder Laser
\n
The Thunder Laser will fire one pulse AFTER turning off the power switch. Do not turn on or off the laser until you have closed the laser proof safety cover.\n
Keep your hands and projects away from the laser head while turning on and off this machine.
\n
Do not operate the Thunder Laser with the front panel open.\n
Though this machine has the ability to operate with the front panel open, it puts everyone at risk. If this laser is operated with ANY of the covers off the laser can fire. It can bounce off a reflective surface and create a fire anywhere the beam lands. As a result, we do not allow the use of the laser with the front panel open, except in the presence of an expert and with approval from the Hardware Committee.
\n
Materials
\n
The basic cutting controls for the laser are Speed (mm/sec) and Power (% of 100 watts). The first time you use a particular laserable material, check the suggested levels on the printouts next to the laser. These will give you a guideline, but you must experiment with different combinations of Speed and Power to find the best settings for your material. \n
The \"best\" combination is one that cuts without burning and without excessive smoking. Start with the suggested Speed and Power and make small test cuts. If they do not cut through increase the Power 10 ppt and reduce the Speed 10 mm/sec. Once the laser cuts through your material, consider increasing the Speed and reducing the Power. Many materials require a certain amount of time to interact with the laser and you will not be able to increase the Speed above a certain point, no matter how much Power you use. \n

A third class of materials can be safely lasered but cause such a stench that they are not allowed to be laser cut at the Hacker Dojo. Since the Dojo is a shared space, we must respect the other members. If your laser safe material is generating a lot of unpleasant fumes, then you must stop. Any member of the Dojo may step into the room and ask you to stop. If they do, then you must stop. If you do not stop, you may lose access to the laser cutter.\n
Class Handout available to anyone who takes the laser training.\n

The maker space at the dojo has several machines for your use. If you are unfamiliar with a particular machine or tool, or if you are not clear on how to use that machine or tool safely - then do not use it.\n
\n
Tips
\n
Never wear gloves when operating the saw or a device with a rotating cutting tool. The glove could get caught in the device and cause an unbelievably horrible accident in a split second. Seriously, gloves give you a false sense of security and actually make you less safe. Accidents with gloves happen regularly and are horrible.
\n
Always wear safety glasses when any cutting tool is in use near you. Remember that you are at risk not only from what you are doing, but from what the person next to you is doing.
\n
Do not talk to someone who is operating a power tool. Your conversation might distract them, causing an accident.
\n
If you feel another user is being unsafe then you must tell them to stop. We are a self policing community and we all need to take responsibility for safety.
See the operation handout page on calibration for a mirror adjustment reference.\n

Do-ocracy. If you have a change you want to see happen, lead the way. If you want a knitting circle, start one. If you want a book circle, lead one. If you want to build a winning robot, start designing.
\n
New Policies. Members are welcome to give staff suggestions and feedback on policy.
\n
Board of Directors Discretion. Board of Directors have discretionary review for all policies, and may change policies at will. For example, board of directors may override rules incompatible with state laws, our lease, or incompatible with Hacker Dojo's vision.

Membership Benefits

Hello! Thanks for checking out Hacker Dojo.\n
We're usually open M-F 10:00am - 9:00pm for visitors, though you may want to check the Home Page to see if anyone has signed in as staff to give you a tour. A donation of $10 is appreciated. As soon as you sign up as a member you'll get your own key, and you can use the Dojo 24/7.\n
\n\n
What to Do as a Visitor
\n
Sign In
\n
First off, sign in. We won't spam you with thousands of emails, it just helps us keep track of how many visitors are coming to the Dojo. When you enter the front door, there is a small laptop on the desk, and you just have to type in your email address.\n
\n
Grab a Seat
\n
The main space, event space and classroom all have open seating. So if you find a spot that looks empty, it's there for you! A lot of people will be working or hacking on their laptops around you. Some will be focused, but others are always open for a chat! A good technique is to walk around, introduce yourself by name, and ask, \"What are you working on?\" Or hang out in the kitchen and grab a cup of coffee or tea.\n
\n
Connect to Wifi
\n
Hacker Dojo is wifi only, and we do monitor the network. If you plan on using one of our networks, you must agree to our Hacker Dojo Policies.\n
Connect to HD-Guest. This is our guest wifi and open. Everybody can access it and can login on it. After you login, your device will be allowed one day of wifi usage per 7 days. After one day of use, the internet will be shut down until the next week. \n
\n
Attend an Event
\n
The Dojo has a lot of classes and events that are good ice-breakers. On Fridays after work, you're likely to find us mixing drinks and socializing at our Happy Hour Lightning Talks.\n
\n
When to Visit
\n
Evenings, around 7PM, is usually our peak time, in terms of numbers of people. We have many events listed on our events page. If you'd prefer a quieter environment, come earlier in the day. Weekends vary greatly, if the weather is nice in Mountain View (...often!) the place might be empty on a Saturday. Or, there could be a mega-event with 150+ people. Check the events schedule!\n

\n
Branding and Logo
\n
We love it when people want to promote the Dojo, but please respect our branding guidelines!\n
\n
Logos
\n
The font for our logo is Whitney Medium. Only use this font for reconstructing the original logo.\n
The official colors used for our logo are:\n
Red: PANTONE 1945 C \nBlack: black \nWhite: white \n
\n
\n
Main Logo
\n
Our normal logo is good enough in most circumstances.\n
It is to be used when the background you're printing on is dark and would hide the dark lettering. We put up this gray background in HTML as an example, but you can decide to use this version of the logo whenever you think it would look better.\n
The name of the organization is \"Hacker Dojo.\" That is two words, with the H in Hacker and the D in Dojo capitalized. All other letters are lowercase. Hacker Dojo is occasionally referred to as \"the Dojo\" in shortened print. In this case, the word \"Dojo\" is capitalized.
\n
Please leave the Hacker Dojo logo intact. Do not change the orientation, add extra text next to the torii, or skew, stretch, alter or add to the logo in any way.
\n
Hacker Dojo will be the sole vendor of merchandise sold for profit. If you would like to raise money for Hacker Dojo with swag, please get in touch with us at management@hackerdojo.com
\n
The public may use our name & logo as long as it is used in such a way that the relationship between parties is clear.
\n
\nOK: \"Bunny Fair at Hacker Dojo\"\n
\nNOT OK: \"Hacker Dojo Bunny Fair\"\n
\n
\n
Events Guidelines
\n
Events may not have \"Hacker Dojo\" in the title unless approved by the Directors.
\n
Adding our logo with a bunch of other logos that seem related to the event is probably fine -- especially if it isn't labeled as \"partner\", \"sponsor\", etc.
\n
Event attendees must understand that the event is being hosted by the member, and is not being thrown by Hacker Dojo.
