Hi there! Welcome to the Tech for Good Organisers Network Slack!

Slack is a tool used to help people connect, find each other and helps us organise the network. It’s a great way to find help, share your tips and get in contact with other members!

🤲🏽 Slack Guidelines & Principles

Our Slack space is guided by the Tech for Good Organisers Network principles:

• Lead by example. Celebrate the radical approaches brought by everyone in the community and understand that people have different lived experiences.
• Operate responsibly. Despite our best intentions, no one is exempt from making a mistake. But we strive to do our utmost best to ensure we’re accountable for our actions.
• Work in the open - it makes collaboration easier. We’re here to collaborate, work together and be part of something bigger.
• Technology can be a force for good in society. We’re all trying to grow communities that design responsibly with an outlook to drive positive outcomes in the world.
• Do not ponder, do. But do so responsibly.

<aside> 💡 We do not tolerate abuse of any kind. This is inclusive of: racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, classism, bullying and sexual harassment. We are a compassionate group and will speak to you directly if we feel this behaviour can change. You will be removed if this behaviour is egregious or repetitive.

If you have any problems in this space, please contact our Network Co-ordinator Nish Doshi on Slack or via email at [email protected] directly.
