- | ===== Excellence | + | ====== Guiding Principles ====== |
- | Be excellent to each other is a guiding principle of CryptoParty. Wikipedia uses a somewhat similar rule, which they call "the fundamental rule of all social spaces. Every other policy for getting along is a special case of it." Unlike Wikipedia, CryptoParty takes a positive approach, and avoids the practice of officially enumerating the myriad potential special cases; "be excellent" | + | |

+ | |||
+ | CryptoParties are environments where people feel welcome and safe to learn and teach no matter their background or level of expertise. All questions are relevant, all explanation shall be targeted at the person with the least prior knowledge. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This also means that any form of harassment or other behaviour that makes people uncomfortable has no place at CryptoParties. In our experience situations like these (as seldom as they occur) stem rather from social ineptitude than malice and can thus be resolved by making people aware of their behaviour and its effect on others, but in last consequence it is on the organizers of the CryptoParty to ask people to leave if they don't adhere to this very simple rule. Be excellent to each other. Awareness is key in this regard. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Do things ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | CryptoParties happen because people make them happen. The most amazing and unforeseen learning experiences happen because people make them happen. | ||

+ | ==== Political ==== | ||

+ | While CryptoParties are inherently political, they are independent from any political party or politics in general. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Political parties may not facilitate CryptoParties in their name. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Non-commercial ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Companies or NGOs may not facilitate or sponsor CryptoParties in any form. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Recommended Tools ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The tools recommended at CryptoParties need to be Free Software (FLOSS) and/or Open Hardware. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As a starting point, working with the software and hardware that participants already use is fine, and, to some extent, even encouraged, though. | ||
