your understanding and agreement with the terms in this Confidentiality Agreement (also referred to
as a non-disclosure agreement, “NDA”). This NDA forms a legal agreement between you and Comexpo
Cyber Security Foundation.
1. Scope
“The Hackers Meetup” is an open source project committed to being as open as possible. Sometimes,
however, certain information is not intended to be public and is to be treated as confidential
(“Confidential Information”). During the course of your volunteering, you may receive Confidential
Information as part of your activities for The Hackers Meetup (“Activities”). The purpose of this NDA
is to explain what information is considered Confidential Information, your obligations with respect to
Confidential Information, and whom you should contact if you have questions or suspect a leak of
Confidential Information.
2. How do you know if information is Confidential Information?
You’ll know information is Confidential Information if:
 The person disclosing the information tells you that the information is confidential;
 There is a notation on the email, document or material to indicate that the information is
confidential; or
 The information is not public and made available in an internal Comexpo Cyber Security
Foundation meeting to which you are invited, or is made available to you through a

 Exhibit B
Code of conduct
This code of conduct outlines our expectations for participants within the “The Hackers Meetup”
community, as well as steps to reporting unacceptable behaviour. We are committed to providing a
welcoming and inspiring community for all and expect our code of conduct to be honoured. Anyone
who violates this code of conduct may be banned from the community.

Participation Guidelines

 Be friendly and patient.

 Be welcoming: We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all
backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity,
culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational
level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political
belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
 Be considerate: Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the
work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should take
those consequences into account when making decisions. Remember that we’re a world-wide
community, so you might not be communicating in someone else’s primary language.
 Be respectful: Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor
behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we
cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It’s important to remember that
a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one.
 Be careful in the words that we choose: we are a community of professionals, and we conduct
ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants.
Harassment and other exclusionary behaviour aren’t acceptable.
 Try to understand why we disagree: Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the
time. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively.
Remember that we’re different. The strength of our community comes from its diversity,
people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on
issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re
wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere.
Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.

The Hackers Meetup social media community standards

The Hackers Meetup communities thrive when you show up IRL to do what you love — together. We
believe the global The Hackers Meetup community deserves to feel welcomed, respected, and
excited to connect with each other, whether we do that in person or on social media.

Here are the five key tenets of our community on social media:

 Be welcoming. Cultivate a space where everyone feels safe to be themselves: a community

driven by kindness — not bullying, trolling, or bigotry.
 Be real. Act as you would act in real life: with integrity and authenticity.
 Be impactful. Contribute to the discussion, and respect everyone’s time. What would you
say if you were talking in person at an event?
 Be spirited. Show up with an openness to diverse perspectives and lively debate.
 Be thoughtful. Challenge ideas, not people.
 If your posts on social media conflict with any of these tenets:

Your post may be removed. You will be privately notified, warned, and encouraged to adjust
your actions going forward in order to stay a member of the community.

If you violate any of these tenets again, we have the right to ban you from our community on all
social media channels.
