A key ingredient of consistently successful organizations or individuals is the value system. Taking a cue from it, at the initiation of the Yarl IT Hub itself, we decided to have the following as are core values. So for those who wish to join can compare these with their own values and decide whether the initiative is consistent with their personal values or expectations.
Our Values
1. Not for profit initiative
2. Transparency
3. Apolitical
4. Technology and corporate independent
1. Not for profit initiative
Yarl IT Hub is a community that has gathered not with the intention of making profits. Anyway it doesn't mean that Yarl IT Hub wouldn't have income, it would definitely have but crucially what ever surplus will be invested again on ventures which shall be coherent with the vision of the initiative.
2. Transparency
For the members and contributors all the details shall be kept fully transparent thus giving credibility and visibility on how each contribution ( contribution doesn't necessarily mean monetary ) has been utilized.
3. Apolitical
This is an IT initiative and our vision is based on achieving IT objectives. Hence we do not want to get bogged down by politics of any kind. Any person who wants to express political opinion can use a different stage or a medium and spare Yarl IT Hub. Yarl IT Hub will not entertain any of it, irrespective of the kind of political affiliation. There are enough political stages to express politics and lets spare this for IT.
4. Technology and corporate independent
As individuals each of us will have technology and corporate affiliations but Yarl IT Hub as a unit will be independent of technology and corporates. All decisions will be made while been neutral about technology and corporate.

ReplyDeleteGood stand. values are as much important as initiative. it's good that you make them very clear at the beginning itself. :)
Thanks Gowri, As per the ground realities unless we make our values clear we could get a lot of diversions. So we decided to make it clear at the very beginning itself. The events, activities and output might change over time but we will stay true to our values and vision.
