Hello everyone,
The executive leadership team, on behalf of the Foundation, would like to issue a
statement of unequivocal support for the Code of Conduct[1] and the community-led Code of
Conduct Committee. We believe that the development and implementation of the Code are
vital in ensuring the healthy functioning of our technical communities and spaces. The
Code of Conduct was created to address obstacles and occasionally very problematic
personal communications that limit participation and cause real harm to community members
and staff. In engaging in this work we are setting the tone for the ways we collaborate in
tech. We are saying that treating others badly is not welcome in our communities. And we
are joining an important movement in the tech industry to address these problems in a way
that supports self-governance consistent with our values.
This initiative is critical in continuing the amazing work of our projects and ensuring
that they continue to flourish in delivering on the critical vision of being the essential
infrastructure of free knowledge now and forever.
Toby, Maggie, Eileen, Heather, Lisa, Katherine, Jaime, Joady, and Victoria
