This repository contains materials about things I am publicly committed to.
I pledge to observe the following principles in my knowledge-related volunteering and personal activities:
- only engage in activities where I see sufficient societal benefit;
- publicly document my insights into the societal benefits of activities that take up a major part of my time;
- take measures to minimize the likelihood that engagement in these activities is detrimental to the health and well-being of myself or others;
- encourage open participation, scrutiny and repurposing of the processes and workflows underlying my activities;
- release public outputs of my activities under an open license;
- present these principles as my starting point when negotiating collaborations with others;
- maintain a list of frequently asked questions related to activities covered by these principles;
- allow for exceptions, and feed data about them into future versions of these principles;
- review these principles at least annually and refine them as necessary.
I have previously used similar pledges when I ran Open By Default, inspired by Erin McKiernan and these were forked from Daniel Mietchen after his new years tweet.
