All our forums and events, including conferences, summits, training sessions, user meetings, and related social events, are intended for professional collaboration and an open sharing of ideas. This requires an environment that is diverse, inclusive, safe, and free from discrimination and harassment in any form.

All individuals who participate (or plan to participate) in Safe Software’s FME Community or other events must abide by this Code.

FME Community Code of Conduct

Aligned with Safe Software’s Code of Conduct, the FME Community also emphasizes several key aspects:

• Embracing Diversity and Inclusivity: Recognize and respect the diversity of humanity in our interactions. Be mindful of the impact that our words can have on others, both directly and indirectly.
• Welcoming All Skill Levels: Create a welcoming environment for users regardless of their knowledge level. The FME Community is a place for sharing and learning from each other, embracing users of all expertise and experience.
• Mindful Language in Forums: Be aware of the evolving nature of language and its social implications. Some terms historically used may no longer be suitable due to changes in social awareness. For example:
  • Replace "master/slave" processes with terms like "parent/child" or "primary/secondary".
  • Use "allowed list" or "unblocked list" instead of "whitelisted", and "deny list" or "blocked list" instead of "blacklisted".
• Avoiding Offensive Language: Steer clear of language and topics that might be offensive, exclusionary, or derogatory. This includes content that can be perceived as racist, sexist, heterosexist, or demeaning towards any age, ability, or religious belief.
