OpenFinity Code of Conduct

Introduction

At OpenFinity, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and collaborative online community. Our Code of Conduct serves as a guide to ensure all members feel safe, valued, and empowered to contribute. We believe that a diverse community is a strong community, and we strive to create an environment where everyone can share, learn, and grow together.

​

Community Engagement

1. Active Participation: We encourage members to actively engage in discussions, share knowledge, and support one another. Your contributions help build a vibrant and dynamic community.

2. Give as much as you receive: Strive to contribute to the community in ways that enrich the experience for all. Share your insights, answer questions, and offer support whenever possible.

​​

Respect and Inclusivity

1. Respectful Communication: Treat all members with respect and kindness. We do not tolerate demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech. This includes, but is not limited to, comments related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, and disability.

2. Privacy and Confidentiality: Respect the privacy of others. Do not disclose private information or use information obtained from the community for personal gain without explicit permission.

​

Safe and Supportive Environment

1. Psychological Safety: We are dedicated to creating a space where members feel comfortable sharing ideas and asking questions without fear of criticism or retribution.

2. Support and Empathy: Show empathy and offer support to fellow members. We are a community that grows stronger by lifting each other up.

​

Integrity and Responsibility

1. Honesty and Transparency: Be honest and transparent in your communications. Misrepresentation of identity or intentions undermines the trust and integrity of our community.

2. Legal Compliance: Ensure that your contributions comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Do not engage in or promote illegal activities.

​

Constructive Engagement

1. Idea Exchange: We encourage the exchange of diverse viewpoints and ideas. Debate constructively and focus on ideas rather than individuals.

2. Avoid Inflammatory Topics: Steer clear of divisive topics such as politics and religion that may detract from our core mission of professional and personal growth.

​

Community Values

1. Empathy: We listen and empathize with one another, striving to understand diverse perspectives and experiences.

2. Innovation and Collaboration: We value creative thinking and collaborative problem-solving. Together, we can achieve more than we can individually.

3. Positive Impact: We aim to make a positive impact in everything we do, whether it's through sharing knowledge, offering support, or contributing to meaningful discussions.

4. No solicitations: We are committed to keep a "no vendor pitch" policy, ensuring that every session is focused on delivering valuable, vendor-neutral knowledge. This includes sponsored courses and webinars. Our partners, however, will use their logo and company information to introduce themselves to the community.

​

Enforcement and Reporting

Violations of this Code of Conduct will not be tolerated. If you witness or experience behavior that violates this code, please report it to our community moderators at info@openfinity.org. We are committed to addressing all reports with discretion and integrity.

Conclusion

By adhering to this Code of Conduct, we can ensure OpenFinity remains a welcoming, inspiring, and productive community for all. Let's work together to maintain a space where everyone is welcomed, can learn, share, and connect in a positive and respectful manner.
