# Taipei.py Code of Conduct

Taipei.py believes that "respecting all people" is the most basic social consensus. On this basis, we promote equal interaction, maintain community values, prevent the occurrence of inappropriate incidents, and avoid any form of discrimination or harassment of all participants. This is the direction Taipei.py strives towards, and therefore, the establishment of this Code of Conduct is the concrete implementation of this goal and also a fulfillment of our social responsibility.
