| <a href="#community-values-whatis" class="text-lg">🔗</a> | ||||||
| </h3> | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| <p> | ||||||
| Values are <span class="italic">not</span> a Code of Conduct, they do not | ||||||
| define governance structures, and they do not provide specific policies. | ||||||
| Instead, values inform the decisions we make about these things. A good test | ||||||
| for <a | ||||||

| >whether something is a value</a | ||||||
| > is: | ||||||
| </p> | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| <p> | ||||||
| If a statement can be invoked by anyone in an organization, and cause a | ||||||
| decision to be re-evaluated or changed, without regard to anyone’s rank | ||||||
| or title, then you have a bona fide [i.e. genuine] value. If it doesn’t | ||||||
| work that way, then it’s not a value. | ||||||
| </p> | ||||||
|
|
||||||
| <p> | ||||||
| To apply in many situations, values must be high-level, abstract | ||||||
| concepts. Therefore, in the text below, each value is presented as a | ||||||
| heading followed by an elaboration of its meaning. This is meant as a | ||||||
| starting point for interpretation, not a comprehensive definition. The | ||||||
| heading and the elaboration have equal importance. | ||||||

|
|
||||||
| <p> | ||||||
| We are a global community, and disseminating information and maintaining | ||||||
| processes can be difficult. We are also a large project with a lot of | ||||||
| hard and repetitive work. Therefore, we value automation over toil, | ||||||
| while recognizing that not all toil can be automated. Automation reduces | ||||||
| toil, but people are still accountable. Adding new toil needs a very | ||||||
| strong justification. We build automation and processes that make the | ||||||
| best use of our contributors' limited time and energy. | ||||||

|
||||||
| <p> | ||||||
| Openness to new ideas and evolution is part of what made Nix great. We | ||||||
| continue to foster that evolution while encouraging development of | ||||||
| re-usable building blocks and well-defined, stable interfaces. We value | ||||||
| experimenting with designs and concepts, and folding successful | ||||||
| experiments back into continuous improvement for stable components. The | ||||||
| larger the impact an action has, the more care and discussion is | ||||||
| warranted before taking the action. Our leaders have a duty to find, | ||||||
| support, and promote new contributors — and eventually step aside for | ||||||
| new leaders. | ||||||
