BetaNYC’s Community’s Code of Conduct
Equality and community equity are two core components of building a vibrant civic hacker / civic technology / public interest technology / open data / service design community.
With BetaNYC, these documents will be our community foundation and will be seen as living documents. On a yearly basis, BetaNYC’s staff solicits public feedback, and all staff members have an opportunity to review these changes.
