<li>We keep our <b>promises</b> and do not make external promises without internal agreement.</li>
<li>We try not to assign issues but to have people <b>pick issues</b> in a milestone themselves, do not pick one until you are actually working on it.</li>
<li>Use <b>async communication</b> when possible (issues and email instead of chat), issues are preferred over email, email is preferred over Slack.</li>
<li>If you have to use email please send one email per subject, multiple items in one email will cause delays (have to respond to everything) or misses (forgot one of the items).</li>
<li>If you use Slack please use a public channel whenever possible, mention the person you want to reach if it is urgent, this ensures it is easy for other people to chime in and easy to involve other people if needed.</li>
<li>Explicitly note what <b>next action</b> you propose or expect and from who.</li>
<li>There is no need for consensus, make sure that you give people that might have good insights a chance to respond (by /cc'ing them) but make a call yourself, <ahref="https://twitter.com/sama/status/585950222703992833">consensus doesn't scale</a>.</li>
