A space that +is safe for all. + +A space such as this benefits everyone that participates in it. It encourages +new developers to enter our field. It is through discussion and collaboration +that we grow, and through growth that we improve. + +In the effort to create such a place, we hold to these values: + +1. **Discrimination limits us.** This includes discrimination on the basis of + race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, nationality, technology + and any other arbitrary exclusion of a group of people. +2. **Boundaries honor us.** Your comfort levels are not everyone’s comfort + levels. Remember that, and if brought to your attention, heed it. +3. **We are our biggest assets.** None of us were born masters of our trade. + Each of us has been helped along the way. Return that favor, when and where + you can. +4. **We are resources for the future.** As an extension of #3, share what you + know. Make yourself a resource to help those that come after you. +5. **Respect defines us.** Treat others as you wish to be treated. Make your + discussions, criticisms and debates from a position of respectfulness. Ask + yourself, is it true? Is it necessary? Is it constructive? Anything less is + unacceptable. +6. **Reactions require grace.** Angry responses are valid, but abusive language + and vindictive actions are toxic. When something happens that offends you, + handle it assertively, but be respectful. Escalate reasonably, and try to + allow the offender an opportunity to explain themselves, and possibly correct + the issue. +7. **Opinions are just that: opinions.** Each and every one of us, due to our + background and upbringing, have varying opinions. The fact of the matter, is + that is perfectly acceptable. Remember this: if you respect your own + opinions, you should respect the opinions of others. +8. **To err is human.** You might not intend it, but mistakes do happen and + contribute to build experience. Tolerate honest mistakes, and don't hesitate + to apologize if you make one yourself.
