House rules

The goal of Arm Community is to empower developers within the Arm Ecosystem to find and share information to do their jobs more effectively.

There are over 1200 partners in the Arm Ecosystem, this community is designed to help you find the right ones for your needs. It will also help answer some basic questions such as "how do I get started with Arm" as well as more complicated technical questions that are specific to the Arm architecture.  Best practices will be surfaced and well as the ability to easily search the site for content, people, and communities relevant to what you are interested in.  Content will be shared to a combination of Arm employees, Arm Partners, advocates, and developers.

Basic guidelines have been established to ensure that Arm Community is useful for - and respectful of - all our users. Please interact with other users accordingly and conduct yourself as you would in any professional, business setting. The Arm Community site is intended for Business and Professional use and your use of the Arm Community is subject to these House Rules and the Terms of Use.

We hope you enjoy visiting Arm Community, return often, and become an active member and frequent contributor.

Keep it clean, keep it professional

Every post should make a positive contribution and should be suitable for all users who can view it. The Arm Community is open to all points of view on intended business-related topics; mature, polite debate is encouraged. We will however remove any post or reply that includes derogatory, abusive, offensive, obscene, violent or inappropriate content of any kind. Always interact with other users respectfully, as you would in any professional setting.

1. You are personally responsible for your postings, so ensure they are accurate and appropriate.
2. Speak as yourself; don't act differently just because you are online.
3. Manage your time appropriately. Do not let your job suffer because you spend too much time in social networking environments.
4. Do follow your respective corporate conduct policies, standards and procedures.
5. Don't abuse other's copyrights by using their material without appropriate permission and attribution.
6. Don't release company confidential information, or any information that would be considered personal, private or security related.

1. There is no place for inappropriate comments; don't make any.
2. Consider that the people you encounter may be from different companies and countries and have different policies, approaches and customs. Just because things may be different doesn't mean they are wrong.

Respect the privacy of others

It's up to you, and only you, to decide whether or not to share personal information about yourself or your business.
