Behaviour and Good Practice Guide

Etiquette and Standards for Posts

When posting messages (anywhere) online please remember:

• be respectful -- people are different -- we all have strengths and weaknesses and different backgrounds - find out about them.

• Use 'I' statements.

• Practice compassion by putting yourself in others' shoes.

When using the chat channels and forums, we ask all contributors to have care for the community, offering a harassment-free space for all to participate, embracing our unique differences. We cultivate this respect for each other, both within project spaces and in the wider public arena when we represent the XR community.

Positive Behaviours

• Using welcoming and inclusive language
• Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
• Being willing to engage with feedback (constructive criticism)
• Focusing on what might most be in service of the community as a whole
• Cultivating curiosity and an empathic awareness towards other community members

Negative Behaviours

• We do not tolerate sexism, racism, classism, etc.
• We all have things to learn and we will inevitably get things wrong, so avoid making assumptions and be open to listening and learning, if you are challenged about something.
• Public or private harassment including trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks, are not tolerated.
• We do not publish others' private information without explicit permission
• Avoid conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting.

This document should contain so-called "good practices" that we want Group Admins/Tech Champions to encourage. For example:

• When to use @all and @channel
• Switching to forums for longer-form conversations
