Banno has a number of policies about how we do our jobs. While these are vital to have written and kept up-to-date, more vital is documenting how we interact with each other, how we aspire to be culturally, and how we keep our professional lives in balance with each other and with the rest of our lives. Collectively, our guidelines on how we maintain good citizenship are called How We Work.
How We Work are a series of talks given by our team members about our best practices and how we treat each other. Over time, we work to take these talks and pull them together into written format, to make sharing and referring back to these guidelines quick and easy. The talks themselves can be viewed from the Talks page of the wiki. Written versions can be found in the list above.
Anyone can give a How We Work talk, submit a new writeup, or edit an existing one. We usually do these edits via pull requests to ensure everyone has a chance to review new guidelines. While we hold these guidelines tightly, nothing is beyond question. Anyone at any position in the team can question what we have at any time, whether by opening a pull request, speaking to leadership, or anything in between.
Everyone deserves respect, and everyone needs a voice to make sure we never fail in that.
