Code of Conduct

This guideline covers both online (Google Groups) and offline behavior (during in-person meetups).

Be nice

We’re all part of the same community, so be friendly, be welcoming, and generally be a nice person. Be someone that other people want to be around.

Be respectful and constructive

At times GEGs may be composed of very different types of educators ranging from public to private school educators, educators from pre-schools to high schools and Universities, so we’re not going to agree all the time. Remember to be respectful and constructive in your communication with your fellow GEG’ers. Don’t get into flamewars, don’t make personal attacks, don’t vent or rant unconstructively. Everyone should take responsibility for the community and take the initiative to diffuse tension and stop a potential flamewar or negative thread as early as possible.

Be collaborative

Work together! We can learn a lot from each other. Share knowledge, participate in the Google Groups, and help each other out.

Think before you send

Does this message need to go to hundreds of people around the world? Keep off-topic conversations to a minimum.

Do not send spam

Do not advertise or promote personal projects which are off-topic.
