Derived from the Kubernetes Community Values but with a more hometown feel:

Distribution is better than centralization#

Distributed asynchronous ownership, collaboration, communication and decision making.

Automation over process#

The project values time spent automating repetitive work more highly than toil.

Inclusive is better than exclusive#

Broadly successful and useful technologies require different perspectives and skill sets, which can only be heard in a welcoming and respectful environment. Our community respects the time and effort put into a discussion.

Evolution is better than stagnation#

Openness to new ideas and studied technological evolution make us a stronger project.

Transparency#

The project endeavors to utilize the latest in open-source technology (like sigstore) to ensure users can verify the processes used to build these images. The project strives to educate users by sharing as much data as possible.

Bias for Action#

The project strives to prefer stability and correctness, but recognizes that it must act to solve problems quickly and efficiently.

The Human is more important than the Machine#

All of the artwork in Bluefin will always be by a human being who has been compensated for their work.
