An Agora is defined by its code of conduct or [[contract]]. It is of utmost importance for it to be well specified and understandable by all. Because of this we prefer explicit over implicit.

• A [[contract]] is a public list of [[assertions]].
  • Feel free to contribute corrections to this list by submitting patches to this file in the [[Agora repository]] or by providing guidance or feedback.
• Above all, be [[honest]]; be [[true]] to yourself.
• Try to be [[constructive]], [[kind]], [[rational]], and [[compassionate]].
  • When interacting with others, either directly or indirectly, please keep in mind and follow the [[principle of charity]].
  • When you disagree with someone, please prioritize achieving greater mutual understanding over winning an argument.
• If you made a mistake, apologize.
  • If someone made a mistake but then apologized thoroughly and made [[amends]] or [[reparations]], try to forgive them.
• Members of this [[Agora]] are free to volunteer their personal extensions to this list, according to their own set of values, by writing in this node.
  • The [[Agora]] can be forked at will and with no presumption of ill intent by a subset of the community whenever contracts become incompatible.
• This Agora is a repository of [[intents]].

If you do not yet belong to this Agora and would like to become involved, please refer to [[agora editor]] or reach out to [[flancian]], [[vera]], [[neil]], or any other of the member of the [[flancia collective]].

• an [[intent]].
  • #pull [[values]] [[goals]]
  • I endorse the base [[contract]] of this Agora (which is just [[an agora]]): https://anagora.org pull.
  • My [[intents]] and [[values]] as explicit [[lists]] of assertions; they can be assumed to include my declarations of [[knowledge]] and [[belief]] as expressed in [[notes]] and [[resources]] volunteered to this [[Agora]].
  • In my particular case these assertions are sometimes organized in [[trees]] and [[graphs]] using the structured allowances given by this [[agora]] as modelled in [[agora paper]], [[agora protocol]] and [[agora rfcs]].
  • I [[intend]] to dedicate a [[meaningful fraction]] of my [[free time]] and [[resources]] to improve the world.
    • #push [[manifesto]]
      • I am a [[Flancian]] and this is my [[manifesto]]:
        • In [[Flancia]] there is no [[poverty]].
        • In [[Flancia]] there is no [[privilege]].
        • In [[Flancia]] we will [[meet]].
    • Through this [[Agora]] I try to contribute to the development of a freer, open, progressive global society and projects or [[public utility]].
    • Because I am unskillful, I need your help. I am open to any [[feedback]] anytime. I am active on social media.

⚖️ I endorse the base contract of the agora in my doing and being here! 📜

I will shape my participation through what I think may be useful to others, and to [[cross pollinate]] from what others have shared.

I may be marginal, but I hope to be a slight marginal positive for the folks of the agora and its shared aims.

Attached in this Markdown file is my agreement to the Angora contract (meta tag: [[contract]]) in form of cryptographic signatures.

Why signing your agreement to the Angora contract?

It’s a way to publicly prove that you agree to and understand the contract via your cryptographic keys, whenever its SSH keys, PGP keys or even hash it with argon.

Contract

The formalization of a mutually beneficial relationship among or between two or more parties.

Issues to look out for:

• Was there mutual assent?
• Was there a mutual exchange of [[consideration]]? A completely one sided agreement is generally unenforceable, but there are exceptions (e.g., [[promissory estoppel]], or a [[promissory note]]).
• Was there an [[integration clause]] contained within a written agreement? If not, other evidence outside of the written agreement may be introduced if a dispute arises.

  • welcome back, Evan! happy to see you here. I think this is a good proposal, and it might make sense for some topics/rooms in general to have guidelines that actively steer people away from hot topics. but I’d like to think that we can avoid this yet right here right now; we are a pretty small group and I’m pretty sure we can have difficult conversations but learn from them. I would agree we need to define standards of civility when dealing with disagreement; this is actually a core goal of the Agora, even if unfortunately I have personally invested very little on this in the last two years! perhaps this is a good point to pick that back up? we could just node [[contract]] further to begin with.
