# Code of Conduct

## Our commitment

Agora Cosmica is a project by ChipMates gemeinnützige GmbH, a German nonprofit. We are building a space where philosophical wisdom is accessible to everyone. This extends to how we work together as a community.

We are committed to making participation in this project a respectful, constructive, and welcoming experience for everyone, regardless of age, ability, ethnicity, gender identity, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual orientation.

## Expected behavior

- **Be respectful.** Treat others the way you want to be treated. Disagreement is fine, disrespect is not.
- **Be constructive.** Offer helpful feedback. Focus on the work, not the person.
- **Be welcoming.** Help newcomers get started. Answer questions patiently. Remember that everyone was new once.
- **Be professional.** Keep discussions focused on the project. Assume good intent.
- **Be inclusive.** Use language that is welcoming to a broad audience. Respect differing viewpoints and experiences.

## Unacceptable behavior

- Sustained disruption of discussions or contributions
- Any conduct that would be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
