Let's try to define our core values, rules of the road, dos and dont's. Here are a few ideas - please question, comment, clarify and/or add your own...
- Strive to connect and add value to the Drupal community
- Enable a means for the community to engage, learn, and participate
- All projects are to be developed in the open and contributed back to the community
- Utilize the Drupal support and infrastructure wherever applicable
- Support core projects and community initiatives
- Communicate/collaborate with 'official' developers, designers and maintainers
- Keep communication on the appropriate 'official' Drupal sites
- Interface and collaborate with Drupal working groups, regional groups, and the Drupal association
- The program to remain free, open, and inclusive
- Participation will be rewarded if you so choose
- Learning should be fun!
