About

This repo contains materials about things I am publicly committed to.

Pledge

I pledge to observe the following principles in my knowledge-related professional and volunteering activities:

1. only engage in activities where I see sufficient societal benefit;
2. publicly document my insights into the societal benefits of activities that take up a major part of my time;
3. take measures to minimize the likelihood that engagement in these activities is detrimental to the health or well-being of myself or others;
4. share my gratitude and appreciation for providers of and contributors to resources that I find relevant;
5. encourage open participation, scrutiny and repurposing of the processes and workflows underlying my activities;
6. release public outputs of my activities under an open license, and under the CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication (CC0 1.0) if I am the sole contributor;
7. present these principles as my starting point when negotiating collaborations with others;
8. maintain a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) related to activities covered by these principles;
9. allow for exceptions, and feed data about them into future versions of these principles;
10. review these principles and the associated FAQ at least annually and refine them as necessary.
