Our pledge
We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
Our standards
Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:
- Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
- Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
- Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
- Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
- The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind
- Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
No solicitation
The following are not allowed within any community space without prior permission from the community moderators:
- Pitching of a business, product, or service (outside of the introductions channel). Keep it non spammy!
- Trying to hire the PostHog core team to work on your thing. We need them to build our thing.
- Market or competitor research. This is just annoying.
- Encouraging a fork of the main PostHog project or promoting / soliciting people to build a service that competes directly with us. You may be able to do some of this legally, but if it's successful it would harm our project's performance. So, it's not in the project's interest to provide a place to promote something like this. If you want to partner, email sales at our company.com so we can work something out.
It's feasible that a community member may do something outside of the list above that we've not foreseen which isn't in the project's best interest. We will handle these cases carefully when they come up and will edit these guidelines accordingly.
If you're unsure, contact the community moderators via hey@posthog.com.
