### Openness
|
||||
The majority of the code, documentation, and content we create at Fleet is public and source-available, and we strive to be broadly open and transparent in the way we run the business; as much as confidentiality agreements (and time) allow. We perform better with an audience, and our audience performs better with us.
|
||||
|
||||
- be transparent
|
||||
- candor (faster, better decisions)
|
||||
- speak up (don't be afraid to ask questions, be direct, and interrupt)
|
||||
- [open source is forever](https://twitter.com/mikermcneil/status/1476799587423772674)
|
||||
- "public by default"
|
||||
- declassify with care
|
||||
- be outsider-friendly (inclusive, approachable)
|
||||
- prioritize accessible terminology and simple explanations to provide value to the largest possible audience of users
|
||||
- [use small words](http://www.paulgraham.com/writing44.html) so readers understand more easily
|
||||
- anyone can contribute
|
||||
- open source stewardship: the majority of the features Fleet releases [will be free](https://fleetdm.com/pricing)
