Chainguard Community Guidelines!

This space is for developers, engineers, and security pros who are building and learning together to secure the software supply chain—from distroless containers to CVE-free deployments.

We’re glad you’re here. To keep this space productive and respectful, please follow these community guidelines:

1. Be kind and respectful to one another.

• Assume good intent. We all come from different backgrounds, skill levels, and communication styles.
• Encourage curiosity and questions — no gatekeeping or shaming.

2. Stay on topic when posting!

• Use the relevant channels.
• Ask questions, share tips, post relevant resources.
• For memes or off-topic convos, head to #memes or #overheard — we love a good laugh.

3. Help each other (there are no dumb questions, either!)

• Don’t be afraid to ask “basic” questions—someone else is probably wondering the same.
• Share what worked for you. Bonus points for linking docs, examples, or GitHub issues.
• Be constructive when offering feedback or corrections.

4. Respect privacy & security.

• Don’t share private customer data, credentials, or anything sensitive.
• If you see something that violates these guidelines, DM the @chainguard-team.

5. This is a Community, Not Support

• While Chainguard team members may participate, this Slack isn’t a replacement for official support and is outside of our formal SLAs.
• If you are interested in Enterprise Support from Chainguard, we recommend getting in touch with our Sales team to discuss options tailored to your needs.

6. By Being Here, You Agree To:

• Follow these guidelines.
• Help us keep this a welcoming space.
• Remember: we’re building something better—together.

Got questions about the guidelines or ideas for improvement? DM the @chainguard-team — we’re always listening and here to help!
