-devICT is a welcoming and knowledgeable community where you can engage, contribute, and grow your skills as a web, game, or software developer.
+We are a group of individuals who have a common interest in software development.
-Our skill levels vary greatly, from complete beginners to seasoned veterans. We welcome anyone with a curiosity for programming.
-We strictly enforce a Code of Conduct to provide all of our members a safe and inclusive environment.
-Members of devICT have one common goal: to be better at what we do. Our events and services are aimed at achieving that.
-To make that happen we have monthly events that are both social and educational.
-We also have an active Slack community which serves as a place to connect and discuss with others in the community.
-Most of the time we are hanging out in Slack. To join, just fill out this form.
-Primarily, be sure to become a member on the Meetup page. Then you will receive notifications for upcoming events.
-You could also give a talk! Share the knowledge! We enjoy learning about any development related topics. Contact a board member if you are interested!
-devICT began in 2012 with the purpose of bringing together like-minded individuals to learn and grow together as software developers. Since then we've maintained regular in person events, both social and educational in nature, and an active online community in Slack.
-The devICT Institute is a 501c3 non-profit governed by a board of directors. In addition to the board we are supported by volunteers who organize events and generally keep things running.
+Instead of focusing on a specific programming language or layer of the stack (frontend, backend, infrastructure), we decided to embrace any and all aspects of software. As a result, we've cultivated a diverse community full of a variety of experiences and perspectives on technology.
-Our community is rooted in a few foundational principles that guide our actions and decision making.
+ +These positions follow from our principles. They reflect where we stand today and may grow as our community and context evolve.
