+# Hackers' Ethic
+
+Welcome to our Code of Ethics, outlining the core values guiding our conduct and decisions; placing individual rights and the continuity of collaboration at the foundation.
+
+This framework is amenable to revisions which align with its aims and enhance our common understanding.
+
+## Hackers' Ethos
+
+Guided by respect, autonomy, integrity, curiosity, and pragmatism, the status quo is challenged to solve real-world problems.
+
+With the courage to see it through, processes and tools are forged to meet ethical standards, ensuring the project's success through innovation.
+
+All who embrace this vision are welcomed, uniting in the pursuit of joint progress and individual freedom.
+
+## Hacker's Bond
+
+I pledge to uphold this Ethic, recognizing these Tenets and Ethos as essential for productive cooperation and collective success.
+
+Committed to thinking freely while ensuring the same for others; I dedicate myself to advancing the project, the well-being of its participants, and my own skills and knowledge.
+
+With my word as my Bond, I enact this Ethic in all my dealings here.
