Togetherness

  • We're a full stack team and are instrumental in the sustainability of the Foundation and movement to work on one of the biggest goals in the world. If we work together we can accomplish a lot. We give productive feedback to move ourselves forward.

Share responsibilities and mentor others

  • We can't do this alone and we can't silo ourselves into corners. We proactively work to share the load of our technologies through mentorship, cross-training, stretching to take on new work.

Healthy

  • A healthy team is really just a group of people who are themselves healthy. Take care of your body, mind, and others. Take the time you need to be healthy and your teammates will support you. We take interest in others’ well-being.

Patience

  • Every one of us is still learning. When someone asks a question or doesn't know how to do something that is an opportunity to mentor and improve the capabilities of the team. Treat it as such.

Constructive feedback

  • Disagreement is natural. Constructive feedback, with a sincere intent to fully engage, will make a better outcome for everyone. But no drive-by critiques without substance.

Apologize and Forgive

  • We all make mistakes. When you make a mistake acknowledge it and apologize. The next step is learning from it and improving. At the same time, if you are on the receiving end and the other person makes an authentic effort to apologize and grow, forgive them. It frees you of your burden of resentment.

Inclusiveness

  • We are a multicultural, diverse, and complicated team. We also work consciously to be a welcoming place for all.
