## Transparency
pyOpenSci strives to be open and transparent in everything that we do. This
includes:

1. **Resource Allocation:** Clearly communicating how resources are allocated
towards specific efforts.
2. **Workflow Development:** Building and sharing our workflows openly to
ensure clarity and reproducibility.
3. **Organizational Operations:** Running the organization in an open manner,
with accessible documentation of our processes and decisions.
4. **Participation:** Creating inclusive and transparent pathways for people to
participate in our initiatives.

## Open Source
The goal of everything that pyOpenSci develops is to be as open as possible.
This encompasses:

1. **Accessibility:** Ensuring all our work, including website content, is
openly available online via GitHub and the website.
2. **Community-Driven Tools:** Prioritizing the development and support of
tools that are not only open source but also driven by community input and
collaboration.

## Partnering & Leveraging Existing Efforts
We believe in learning from and leveraging existing community processes and
workflows whenever possible. This includes:

1. **Collaboration:** Actively seeking partnerships with other organizations
and communities to enhance our impact and avoid duplicating efforts.
2. **Best Practices:** Adopting and adapting proven community processes and
workflows to improve our own practices.

## Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA)
We are committed to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility
in all our activities. This involves:

1. **Inclusive Environment:** Creating a welcoming and inclusive environment
for contributors from diverse backgrounds.
2. **Equitable Practices:** Ensuring our practices promote equity and fairness
for all participants.
3. **Accessible Resources:** Making our resources and tools accessible to as
wide an audience as possible, including those with disabilities.

## Manifesting Our Values
To manifest our values, we ensure that:

1. **Open Availability:** All of our work, website content, and other resources
are openly available online via GitHub and our website.
2. **Community-Driven Development:** We value and prioritize not only open
source tools but also tools that are developed through community-driven
processes. This means actively engaging with our community to guide and
improve our tools and resources.

We especially welcome applications from prospective editors who will contribute to the diversity (ethnic, gender, disciplinary, and geographical) of our board. We also value having a range of junior and senior editors.
