[Ansteorra] Question 7/15 - Crash-Space Etiquette?

[Elizabeth Crouchet]

Crash Space is such an old term and one many of us that have been around 
awhile, throw around a lot, especially when economic times get tough. 
But obviously we have not educated our more recent members as to what it 
is and what it means.

We have also not discussed what we expect and times have changed. We did 
not use to worry about people smoking, now it is polite to negotiate 
that. So this discussion is quite timely.

This sounds like a great article for a TI or even a Black Star, maybe 
that A&S issue that comes out once in a while? It should be posted on a 
website so it can be found with a search for SCA Crash Space.

We need pros and cons of crashing and of hosting, we need dos and don't 
for both as well. Also, those little extras that get you invited back 
and how to organize the availability of crash space. Often that is 
negotiated between friends and that space never becomes publicly 
available, but if the usual bunch is not attending this event, it would 
help to know how to offer your space or how to get spaces offered.

This thread will provide much good fodder for such an article but I 
think a round table discussion with someone taking notes would also 
provide additional resources.

Anyone just itching to write this up?
