By default, we use threaded messages in Slack so as to keep all responses to a particular topic grouped together. Please reply to specific messages by replying in thread.
We are an open, welcoming, and inclusive community and expect our members to be kind and respectful in all discourse.
We take reports of harassment very seriously and will action any reports of inappropriate behavior as quickly as possible.
To learn how to report abuse - and to whom you will be reporting - please see our InstructLab slack Moderation Guide.
If you are having trouble joining the InstructLab Slack, please file an issue in the community repo so we can help you.
TODO: Update with email address to get help once these are set up.
InstructLab is an open source project and we value defaulting to open in all of our community communications. There are some cases where discussions must happen in private. For the sake of transparency, we are documenting these private channels and what they are used for.
#code-of-conduct-committee
Space for the InstructLab Code of Conduct Committee to discuss any reports of harassement or other violations of the project Code of Conduct and how to respond to them.
