################################## Team Culture and Conduct Standards ################################## The LSST DM community includes LSST-paid staff at multiple institutions and external contributors from around the world. We have built a strong team that collaborates well. As we hire new people, we want to make sure we are maintaining a healthy, supportive, productive culture. While culture is best transmitted by daily example, having some formal standards for conduct can aid newcomers and reinforce good patterns. Since LSST is an AURA center, the `AURA standards of workplace conduct provide a starting point `_. As stated there, we in DM dedicate ourselves to fostering a civil and inclusive community characterized by mutual respect for the contributions of all individuals. As a community, we embrace the values in that document, in addition to any local institutional standards. Our community is self-regulated, but any issues that cannot be resolved on an individual-to-individual level should be handled through local institutional procedures or---especially if cross-institution or involving the external community---may be brought to the attention of one or more of the DM Project Engineer (Kian-Tat Lim), Project Manager (Jeff Kantor), or Project Scientist (Mario Juric), or the LSST Project Manager (Victor Krabbendam), who will take appropriate action. Please read and reflect upon these standards; strive to uphold them in all your interactions.
