Code of Conduct

The Data Platform Downunder Meetup Group supports the diversity of our community. We strive to welcome different perspectives in a community where everyone feels respected and valued, and are committed to inclusion across race, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, age, ability, geography, religion, identity, and experience.

Above all, we ask that all Data Platform Downunder members be kind to one another and conduct themselves respectfully, creating a positive experience for everyone involved.

• Be friendly and welcoming

• Listen with purpose and create space for others’ communication preferences.

• Ask yourself how you can make someone life easier.

• Be patient

• Remember that people have varying communication styles and preferences.

• Recognize that not everyone is using their native language. Meaning and tone can be lost in translation.

• Be thoughtful

• Think about how others will interpret your words. Aim for clear and productive communication.

• Remember that sometimes it is best to refrain from commenting.

• Be respectful and inclusive

• Respect differences of opinion.

• Seek to understand and build bridges, not condemn or criticize.

• Make a conscious effort to include people who differ from you.

• Be open and curious

• Assume good intent and interpret others’ statements or questions in good faith.

• Ask questions to understand, not denounce.

• Focus on continuous learning. Improve upon the things you already know, tackle new things, and ask others about their expertise to deepen your own knowledge.

If you are subject to unacceptable behavior, notice that someone else is being subject to unacceptable behavior, or have concerns that this Code of Conduct is not being followed, notify us via the Meetup Group Email as soon as possible.
