Code of Conduct - October 2021
BatteryDEV, an initiative of Battery Associates, was established on the core principles of open source and values outlined below. We believe that the respect of these guiding principles will ensure a safe and positive experience for all our users, participants, and contributors. As such, we require all those involved with BatteryDEV to adhere to the following values:
Collaboration and Support
Nurturing a highly collaborative environment is crucial for BatteryDEV. We hold collaboration and openness among our core principles and expect everyone to act with respect towards others to ensure a safe, supportive, encouraging, and dynamic work environment.
Respect, Tolerance & Inclusion
BatteryDEV does not tolerate any form of discriminatory behaviour or harassment. All participants and contributors shall respect the freedom, privacy, and opinions of others. BatteryDEV gains strength from the diversity of those involved with its projects and is committed to creating a space where all people feel free to safely participate. In particular, it is important to us to mention that we strive for diversity. We encourage people to join BatteryDEV regardless of gender, geographic location, background, religion, ethnicity, age, experience in the battery field, and all the other characteristics that make us individuals. We would like to encourage you to apply to BatteryDEV if you’re still hesitant.

Transparency
One of the core principles of open-source software is transparency.
“Whether we're developing software or solving a business problem, we all have access to the information and materials necessary for doing our best work. And when these materials are accessible, we can build upon each other's ideas and discoveries. We can make more effective decisions and understand how decisions affect us.“
