Nashville has a problem. Despite it's recent growth and widespread acclaim, there is still an element of exclusivity (particularly among white, middle class males) that excludes minorities from participation. This serves as a public acknowledgement of that problem, and a rejection of the attitude that nothing can be done about it.

As participants of the local technology community, we agree to the following:

• Inclusiveness cannot be taken for granted: efforts should be made to include minorities.
• Egos are not welcome.
• Code of Conduct should apply to all events. Python's is a good starting point.
