Code of conduct (CoC)

Respect

Collaborate, don't promote. Here we work together on the challenges we share. Save promotion for the people who have already shown interest in what you offer. Instead of promoting your skills or solution, ask: "How could we address [this problem] together?" or "How might this idea help all of us?"

• Respect for all people: treat all members, guests, and hosts with respect and courtesy. Recognize the time, skills, and views that each person contributes.
• Inclusive behavior: do not take part in discrimination, harassment, gossip, or bullying based on race, color, gender identity/expression, national origin, age, religion, marital status, disability, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic.
• Kind and clear words: keep your messages, profile and feedback respectful and clear.
• Constructive engagement: provide thoughtful, constructive feedback when requested. Focus on what your interactions give the other person.
• Accurate representation: describe your skills, experience, what you care about, and values as they are.
• Keep learning: take part in what happens here and think about the feedback others give you.

Confidentiality and privacy
