Codes of Conduct For Contribution

Starting from year 2020, Cerigo project is complying to Contributor Convenant Code of Conduct 2.0. This is to ensure we are aligned with the software industry's direction towards a friendly and developing open-source environment.

Although there is a Code of Conduct in place, we still want to foster a friendly place for new ideas and developments, to the lowest age of 12. That’s our common goal.

Enforcement

Depending on severity, Cerigo team recommends these mechanisms to protect all project’s stakeholders.

Physical and Monetary Abusements

Immediately:

  1. Contact local authority such as calling 999 or 911.
  2. Go to the nearest polic station immediately without cleaning up evidence.

Think Concequences Before Act (Including Talk)

Depending on where you’re from and how you’re culturally nurished, we believe there is one common algorithm to achieve the goal: think about concequences before acting.

The easiest way to do it is be a data-driven person. By gathering measurable data to support your act, it helps you earn the trust and make informed decision.

Some examples:

  1. When you need the word “think”, “maybe”, “guess” in your expression, work the research out and gather data. Otherwise, keep it silent, and keep it to yourself.
  2. Do not talk about performance without a table of measured data. That’s considered offensive to developers and maintainers even you try to sweet talk them.
  3. Are there anyway to frame your message so that it leaves positive outcome, be it a bad news? Work it out.

“If you start focusing on the next job, then you’re probably not going to do the one you have very well." — William H. McRaven, United States Navy Four-Star Admiral

Trust is Earned, Not Given

No one likes empty promises and lies. Hence, we perfers to work with earning trust instead of given. That means it takes time to prove your words.

Some examples:

  1. Complete the small tasks instead asking for big one or talking that you can handle big one. (Rationale: data-driven by your action and be result-oriented.)
  2. Do bother starting a new one if you complete what you have now. (Rationale: stay focused to produce quality)

“If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right." — William H. McRaven, United States Navy Four-Star Admiral

Keep Learning, Not Bloasting

Technologies evolve repidly time after time. Always keep the spirit of learning, not showing-off or showing authority. It’s about wisdom, experience, and knowledge in a domain, not domain about you. Blog it if you want your own domain.

Some examples:

  1. Sometimes, a 6-years old can creates simple algorithm much better than a stressed out 30-years old specialized engineer.
  2. Ideas are abundance, learn all of them. Only decide when it comes to application. In other word, stay open for new ideas.
  3. A 8-years old boy solved a near-divoce problem for his parent at that time, works much better than lawyers.
