purpose
A primary goal of Joy Of Linux is to be as inclusive to the largest number of contributors, with the most varied and diverse backgrounds, as possible. as such, we are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion (or lack thereof).
this code of conduct outlines our expectations for all those who participate in our community, as well as the consequences for unacceptable behavior.
we invite all those who participate in Joy Of Linux to help us create safe and positive experiences for everyone.
vision of Joy Of Linux
Joy Of Linux exists to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and fun place to explore creative projects and crafts of all kinds and to see an intentional digital community.
We are here to redefine the boundaries and meanings of community in a post-google era of the internet. we are here to provide and to create for each other a space free from the constant consumerist messaging the wider internet inundated us with. We are here to use the tools, which so often divide us to create art in a way which frees us from the consumer-producer dichotomy inherent in the wider culture.

to that end, Joy Of Linux strives to be a radically inclusive community where people of all backgrounds and all technological experience levels can come together for peer education, to delight in one another’s creations, and to make good conversation.
