Detailed Guidelines
Content Quality
Share useful notes: Focus on key insights, important points, and actionable takeaways from sessions.
Be accurate: Ensure your notes faithfully represent what was presented in the session.

Respectful Behavior
Be inclusive: Welcome and respect people of all backgrounds, identities, and experience levels.
Assume good intent: Approach disagreements with understanding and constructive dialogue.
No harassment: Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, or personal attacks will not be tolerated.
No trolling: Don't post inflammatory, off-topic, or deliberately provocative content.
Intellectual Property & Privacy
Respect speakers: Notes should summarize public presentations, not reproduce copyrighted materials verbatim.
Honor policies: If a speaker or conference requests no note-taking or sharing, please respect that.
Credit sources: When referencing external resources or ideas, provide proper attribution.
No personal information: Don't share others' personal contact details, private conversations, or sensitive information.
