Sugar Labs/Legal/Code of Conduct: Difference between revisions

Sugar Labs, supports the educators and software developers who use and develop the Sugar Learning Platform.  Sugar is a place for children to play and learn.  Sugar Labs is a place where everyone can play, learn, and teach.  The same ideas Principles that make Sugar great, discovery, collaboration, and reflection, are central to the way the Sugar community work. Members of the Sugar community need to work together effectively, and this code of conduct lays down the "ground rules" for our cooperation.

We chose the name Sugar Labs, plural, because we are not one lab, one person, or one idea. We think it captures perfectly the spirit of the sharing and cooperation that is at the heart of the open source movement. In the Free Software world, we collaborate freely on a volunteer basis to build software for everyone's benefit. We improve on the work of others, which we have been given freely, and then share our improvements on the same basis.

That collaboration depends on good relationships between developers. To this end, we've agreed on the following code of conduct to help define the ways that we think collaboration and cooperation should work.
