Metadevelopment Slack Channel Code of Conduct

mtdv-coc.txt

Hi there,
Here is some explanation on what is this Community about to make it a bit more clear.

It's called Metadevelopment (mtdv for short): we are exploring Life through the prism of Software Development.

You can think of it as a community, where people are interested in finding and engineering a sustainable personal lifestyle with the help of various tools: technologies, science, psychology and well-being, to mention some.
We discuss a bunch of topics here apart software development: mentoring, career, happiness, lifehacking.



Here is a bunch of guidelines, which we believe to help this Community strive.

1. Share Mindfully.

If you find something valuable to spend our time and attention, please, pay forward: share the thing with your short personal description of why this is worth sharing.
We value personal insights. It helps to understand and know each other better and stay up-to-date with what info is useful for everyone.

2. Focus on Insightful and Actionable Content.

We strive to have the content which either provokes some actions or changes the way we see the world. Ask yourself "What did I get by comsuming this?" and share your insights.
The question "Why" is a cornerstone of the community. You will hear it a lot :slightly_smiling_face:

3. Don't Be Afraid Of Being Vulnerable.

This community is not only about information, but also about mutual help.
We strive to help each other become better in all aspects of life.
Do not be afraid to share your mistakes, failures or misfortunes. Combined with your personal interpretation and context, those bits provide invaluable source of knowledge!
Remember: we all are humans, we all can help to cope with troubles and learn something new.

4. Share Successes!

Feel free to share everyhing you consider a personal success, even if it seem stupid or crazy in a hindsight. We have a special channel called #personal-progress exactly for this purpose: sharing your accomplishments and memorable moments!

5. Be Nice To Each Other.

Being nice is not only healthy for the Community, but also a great way to practice your gratitude and empathy.
And gratitude is an essential part of being happy.

If you need a definition of "nice", please refer to Berlin Code of Conduct: http://berlincodeofconduct.org/

6. Be Proactive.

If you need a new channel - do not hessitate to ask for one.
If you have questions - ask it directly anytime.
If you have written a blogpost or need some retweets - let us know!

7. Give Honest Feedback.

We are here to make each other better and stronger.
If you have noticed some strange behavior or reasoning, do not hessitate to give a feedback to the author. Bear in mind: it's best to do it in a private conversation first.
On the other hand: do not get offended by the sudden feedback you've got. The intent is surely positive.



Note as well, that our Slack channel is free. It means that the history won't be stored for a long time.
We'd suggest you to accumulate all insighful things in your personal Knowledge Database.

We have several moderators: @mr_mig, @serg, @siriniok, @waterlink
Moderators will do their best to make the environment safe and useful!

Enjoy!
