Welcome Shane, We have some text in our membership agreement (that I think we lifted from some other space's membership agreements) that covers members for confidentiality, and that if invited to work on a project or flesh out an idea then participants are encouraged to start with an understanding of rights to intellectual property.
As for how it happens, that's the magical part: if you put talented, creative, and inspiring people in the same room, without walls and doors to separate them, they will likely be curious about each others projects and want to help and contribute. It can't be forced. It will just happen naturally when the right two people sit next to each other. r.
