How To Be Excellent

Sometimes we don't know the best way to approach other people and situations. We've compiled some advice here:

Ask before touching another person or entering their personal space. Interpret the absence of a clear “Yes” as a “No” and abide by it.
When community members and guests express a limit to the amount and type of socializing they wish to engage in, abide by that limit.
You are encouraged to express any socializing limits you may have.
When you question whether a joke, question, statement, or other communication would be considered inappropriate, do not proceed to communicate.
When you are asked to stop any harassing behavior, comply immediately.
Always strive to be excellent to your fellow hackers.
