COMMUNITY & HACKATHON GUIDELINES
Fostering an inclusive, innovative, and cheat-free developer culture.
Sharanga brings together thousands of student developers, open-source contributors, and engineering leaders. To ensure a safe, collaborative, and empowering environment for all, we expect everyone in our community to uphold these fundamental standards.
1. Hackathon Fair Play
Build with integrity. Projects submitted to hackathons listed on Sharanga must be original works built during the official competition window. Pre-built templates passed off as new code undermine student innovation.
2. Inclusive & Safe Space
We maintain a zero-tolerance policy against harassment, discrimination, hate speech, or intimidation based on gender, race, skill level, or background—both online and at physical meetups.
3. Event Pass Etiquette
Seating at Google Developer Group meetups and physical workshops is limited. Only claim a free pass if you genuinely intend to participate, ensuring fellow students don't miss out.
4. Transparent Opportunity Listings
Organizers and recruiters publishing on Sharanga must provide authentic stipends, accurate location modes (online/in-person), and verifiable application portals.
