# Justice40 Open Source Community Guidelines
This document contains principles and guidelines for participating in the Justice40 open source community.
## Principles
These principles guide our data, product, and process decisions, architecture, and approach. We discussed and developed these principles on the Open Source Community Kickoff on May 10, 2021.
* Open means transparent and participatory.
* We take a modular and modern approach to software development.
* We build open source software and open source process.
* We value ease of implementation.
* Fostering community includes building capacity and making our software and processes accessible to participants with diverse backgrounds and skill sets.
* Data (and data science) is as important as software and process. We build open data sets where possible.
* We strive for transparency for algorithms and places we might be introducing bias.
* We prioritize data sets that address community vulnerabilities for programs in Justice40.
## Community Guidelines
All community members are expected to adhere to our [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
Information on contributing to this repository are available in our [Contributing file](CONTRIBUTING.md).
When participating in Justice40 open source community conversations and spaces, we ask individuals to follow the following guidelines:
* When joining a conversation for the first time, please introduce yourself by providing a brief intro that includes:
* your related organization (if applicable)
* your pronouns
* disclosure of any current or potential financial interest in this work
* your superpower, and how you hope to use it for Justice 40
* Embrace a culture of learning, and educate each other. We are all entering this conversation from different starting points and with different backgrounds. There are no dumb questions.
* Take space and give space. We strive to create an equitable environment in which all are welcome and able to participate. We hope individuals feel comfortable voicing their opinions and providing contributions, and will do our best to recognize and make space for individuals who may be struggling to find space here. Likewise we expect individuals to recognize when they are taking up significant space and take a step back to allow room for others.
* Be present when joining synchronous conversations such as our community chat. Why be here if you're not going to _be here_?
* Be respectful.
* Default to positive. Assume others' contributions are legitimate and valuable and that they are made with good intention.

We also recognize capacity building as a key part of involving a diverse open source community. We are doing our best to use accessible language, provide technical and process documents in multiple languages, and offer support to our community members of a wide variety of background and skillsets, directly or in the form of group chats and training. If you have ideas for how we can improve or add to our capacity building efforts and methods for welcoming folks into our community, please let use know in the [Google Group](https://groups.google.com/u/4/g/justice40-open-source) or email us at justice40open@usds.gov.
