The community covenant

Four promises every member makes, and one Marc makes back. They are short, and they are the reason this room works.

Read it in full
  1. Honesty in what I share

    The numbers I put in are the numbers I have. If a system disappointed us, I say so plainly rather than protecting a vendor relationship or my own decision. A directory of tactful half-truths would be worse than no directory.

  2. Generosity with what I know

    What my ministry learned the hard way, I pass on. Somebody spent months and money finding it out, and the Kingdom is not a competition. What cost us a year can save the next ministry a quarter.

  3. Confidentiality with what is entrusted

    What I read here stays here. Pricing, contracts, staffing troubles and the things people admit about their own systems do not leave with me. Not to a vendor, not to a conference stage, not to a colleague who is not a member.

  4. No prospecting

    I will not pitch in the community, use the directory as a lead list, or take a commission for a referral. Answering a question because I know the answer is the point; answering it to open a sales conversation is not. If my commercial position changes, I will say so before I post again.

A note from Marc

I run IronSharp Technologies, a consultancy for ministry IT. Some of you will end up as clients, and that's part of how this community stays free. So here's the line I hold myself to: I do sell, just not in here. Nothing anyone shares in this community decides who I approach, and I don't pitch inside it.
