Endless Community Code of Conduct
At Endless, we recognize that we can only reach our goal of making computing universally accessible with the help of our community. It is only with thousands of ears from all over the globe that we’ll be able to hear what the largest challenges are that we need to solve to help our users. It is only with many eyes that we can identify what needs to change to make Endless as delightful as it is useful. It is only with a multitude of hands that we can hope to build the right thing.
We invite you to be a part of the Endless community and we have written this Code of Conduct to foster a community to which we hope you’ll feel proud belonging. The Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private whenever Endless will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honoured by everyone who represents Endless officially or informally, claims affiliation with Endless, or participates directly.
We encourage you to:
- Be respectful and considerate:
- Disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior or personal attacks. Remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable is not a productive one.
- Be patient and generous:
- If someone asks for help it is because they need it. Do politely suggest specific documentation or more appropriate venues where appropriate, but avoid aggressive or vague responses.
- If you are asking for help, be respectful of others’ time and effort when they try to assist you. The community is by and for its members who are volunteering their time, and nobody has the right to demand a response or a particular time schedule.
- Adopt a mindset of thankfulness:
- It’s nice to feel appreciated and to know when you are doing a good job. Remember to thank fellow contributors regularly (and even randomly!) and remember that we are all in this together.
- Assume people mean well:
- Remember that decisions are often a difficult choice between competing priorities. If you disagree, please do so politely.
- If something seems outrageous, check that you did not misinterpret it. Ask for clarification, but do not assume the worst.
- Embrace and promote diversity:
- Diversity should not just be thought of as ethnicity, race, or gender, but also skill sets and points of view. This community gains strength from diversity and we encourage you to promote it.
- Be a leader:
- We encourage you to approach our community as a leader. Help us shape the product, and our community.
- Join our mission:
- Our goal is to solve the barriers of cost and connectivity to create a thriving ecosystem where everyone can participate.
- Our decisions and priorities will be based on solving the needs of our target users in emerging markets.
We reserve the right to moderate comments or remove and ban members who are breaching our Code of Conduct. We want to ensure that our community is a safe space for all of our users.
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
- The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
- Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting Endless at community@endlessm.com. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. Endless will maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
