As a community, we adhere to a series of principles that we consider to be its foundational values. They have been agreed upon and debated by the organizers, and we have compiled them in the following ethical code:

• We use, promote and defend Free Software, both from a technological and ethical point of view.
• We feel identified with the hacker ethics, defined as the attitude of any person who, armed with curiosity, is dedicated to learning about something, looking for ways to improve it and who considers that putting information within reach of everyone constitutes an extraordinary good.
• As developers, we believe that we have the freedom and the right to choose with what license of use we release what we create. It is why, in the events that we organize or in those in which we participate, we demand as a requirement that the decision on the license of use of what is developed falls solely on its creators, who will decide what is done with the code.
• We consider that a hackathon cannot be considered a way of obtaining custom software by sponsors or third parties.
• Likewise, although a hackathon is an event where networking can be done, and this can end with some agreement between several parties, it should not be used solely and exclusively for recruiting purposes.
• Any type of behavior that prevents free participation or that affects personally any member of the community will not be tolerated. Behaviors that discriminate will not be tolerated for reasons of origin, race, gender identity or sexual preferences, political opinions, religious beliefs or the absence of them, or any other factor considered to be personal.
• We reserve the right to cancel our participation in any event if we consider that any of these points is being violated.
