About this room
**Welcome to the Data Stewardship goes Germany Community on Matrix**
The purpose of this matrix space is to foster the connection, exchange and support among Data Stewards. We aim to foster a respectful, inclusive, and supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing ideas, knowledge, successes, and failures. To ensure a positive experience for all, please follow these community guidelines. Note that inappropriate posts may be moderated (deleted or hidden) by moderators and violations of these guidelines may result in exclusion from the platform. These rules are shaped by community input and may evolve over time.
1\. Be Respectful and Inclusive
Treat all members with courtesy and respect. Disagreement is fine, but personal attacks, harassment, sexism, racism or any other form of discrimination will not be tolerated.
2\. Protect Privacy
Do not share personal or confidential information - yours or others’ - without consent.
3\. Stay On Topic
Keep discussions relevant to the community’s purpose. Use designated channels for off-topic conversations. Read the channel description to understand its purpose.
4\. Be Concise and Clear
Communicate your points clearly and use formatting (like bullet points or paragraphs) for readability. Don't use voice messages.
5\. No Spam
Avoid unsolicited advertisements, repeated messages, or excessive self-promotion. Sharing relevant resources or event announcements is welcome when helpful to the community.
6\. Use Threads and Mentions Appropriately
Use threads to keep conversations organized. Mention individuals (@username) only when necessary.
7\. Report Issues
If you notice inappropriate behavior, report it privately to the moderators rather than addressing it publicly.
