We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, welcoming, and harassment-free experience for everyone.
We try to cultivate a community with shared values, where people are comfortable exploring ideas, asking questions, and saying things like "I don't understand" or "why". Assume competence in the people you interact with. There are no stupid questions.
Be considerate in speech and actions, and actively seek to acknowledge and respect the boundaries of fellow participants.
Take care of each other. Alert a member of the Code of Conduct Committee (named below) if you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or a potential violation of this Code of Conduct, even if it seems inconsequential.
We do not tolerate harassment in any form. Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech. Harassment includes, but is not limited to:
