COMMUNITY CODE & STANDARDS

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.
