By following these best practices, we ensure effective communication and collaboration while minimizing disruptions. Let’s work together to build a supportive and welcoming community! + +- Communicate respectfully and professionally, avoiding sarcasm or harsh language, and remember that tone can be difficult to interpret in text. +- Use threads for specific discussions to keep channels organized and easier to follow. +- Tag others only when their input is critical or urgent, and use @here, @channel or @everyone sparingly to minimize disruptions. +- Be patient, as open-source contributors and maintainers often have other commitments and may need time to respond. +- Post questions or discussions in the most relevant channel (e.g., for [slack - #general](https://app.slack.com/client/T06P212QSEA/C06P5NCGSFP) for general topics, [slack - #questions](https://openhands-ai.slack.com/archives/C06U8UTKSAD) for queries/questions, [discord - #general](https://discord.com/channels/1222935860639563850/1222935861386018885)). +- When asking for help or raising issues, include necessary details like links, screenshots, or clear explanations to provide context. +- Keep discussions in public channels whenever possible to allow others to benefit from the conversation, unless the matter is sensitive or private. +- Always adhere to [our standards](https://github.com/All-Hands-AI/OpenHands/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md#our-standards) to ensure a welcoming and collaborative environment. +- If you choose to mute a channel, consider setting up alerts for topics that still interest you to stay engaged. For Slack, Go to Settings → Notifications → My Keywords to add specific keywords that will notify you when mentioned. For example, if you're here for discussions about LLMs, mute the channel if it’s too busy, but set notifications to alert you only when “LLMs” appears in messages. Also for Discord, go to the channel notifications and choose the option that best describes your need. + ## Attribution This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage],
