• openness/transparency

our development happens in the public.
of course, even some of our members have chosen not to make their github contributions or their participation public.

• diversity

the tech is diverse. the genders are diverse. the knowledge status is diverse. the time to give is diverse. the local setups are diverse. the programming languages are diverse. the expertises are diverse. the barrier-freedom is diverse. the browsers are diverse. the debugging is diverse. the CI is diverse. the discussions are diverse. the infrastructure and the hardware are diverse. we happen to be a diverse team.

• equity

we are unified by the will to help each other. we are unified by the urge for a better web. we are unified by a common vision, that is independent of : person, status, paid work, neurodiversity, age, sex/gender, religion, conviction/philosophy, portemonnaie, provenance, handicap or physical appearance.

• inclusion

inclusion means that EVERYONE can participate. like in Tim’s message at the olympics. merely technically seen this means we need screenreaders, big fonts, contrast-rich UI and accessibility with mouse, keyboard, voice, whatever. but it also means we live and practice a welcoming culture and foster decision-finding processes with minimized bureaucracy and open- and wide-hearted discussions as well as include marginalized groups like the global south and east, trans- and handicapped people, implement e.g. bike- food- and shower-sharing and support like-minded organizations. there’s a hard road laid and the free world is under massive threats. let’s do our bit.
