+    Introduction
+    </h3>
+
+    <Quotation>
+      <p>
+        Communities form when different people unite around a common purpose.
+        Shared values guide decision making, and community goals supersede individual interests and agendas.
+      </p>
+
+      <p class="text-right py-2 italic"> <a href="https://opensource.com/open-source-way">The Open Source Way</a> </p>
+    </Quotation>
+
+    Our common purpose is to develop, propagate, and promote the adoption of the <a href="https://edolstra.github.io/pubs/phd-thesis.pdf">purely functional software deployment model</a>. Our values help us achieve this purpose by guiding decisionmaking across the community, keeping us moving in a common direction.
+
+    This document captures our core values so that they can be shared and referenced by everyone in the community.
+
+    <h3 class="text-3xl font-bold font-heading text-nix-blue mt-4">
+                What is a value?
+    </h3>
+
+
+    Values are <span class="italic">not</span> a Code of Conduct, they do not define governance structures, and they do not provide specific policies.
+
+    Instead, values inform the decisions we make about these things.
+
+    A good test for <a href="https://medium.com/the-u-s-digital-service/our-values-1fc02b53598">whether something is a value</a> is:
+
+    <Quotation>
+    If a statement can be invoked by anyone in an organization, and cause a decision to be re-evaluated or changed, without regard to anyone’s rank or title, then you have a bona fide [i.e. genuine] value.
+    If it doesn’t work that way, then it’s not a value.
+    </Quotation>
+
+    To apply in many situations, values must be high-level, abstract concepts.
+    Therefore, in the text below, each value is presented as a heading followed by an elaboration of its meaning.
+    This is meant as a starting point for interpretation, not a comprehensive definition.
+    The heading and the elaboration have equal importance.
+
+    <h3 class="text-3xl font-bold font-heading text-nix-blue mt-4">
+                The values
+              </h3>
+
+    <h4 class="text-2xl font-bold font-heading text-nix-blue mt-4">
+      Respect and civility
+    </h4>
+
+    We treat each other with respect and civility.
+    No matter one's individual identity, circumstances, level of contribution to the project, or status, everyone has the right to respect, and everyone has the duty to treat others with respect.
+    We prioritise project health over individual interests.
+    People with higher visibility within the project or towards the public are subject to higher expectations for their conduct.
+
+    <h4 class="text-2xl font-bold font-heading text-nix-blue mt-4">
+    People come first
+    </h4>
+
+    We are here, first and foremost, as individuals working together.
+    Our priority here is to work on Nix projects for the benefit of all their contributors and users.
+    We value building excellent software with a vibrant and diverse community.
+    Individuals gain trust and status by doing the work.
+    Organisations gain prestige by funding the work of individuals and providing resources to support the project.
+
+    <h4 class="text-2xl font-bold font-heading text-nix-blue mt-4">
+    Free software and choice over lock-in
+    </h4>
+
+    Nix projects are and will always remain <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html">free software</a>.
+    We value working together with the broader free software community.
+    Free software is our priority, but we also support our users' needs to use non-free software, when practical.
+
+    <h4 class="text-2xl font-bold font-heading text-nix-blue mt-4">
+    Distribute decisionmaking widely
+    </h4>
+
+    We are a synthesis of varied but overlapping communities.
+    We rely on distributed approaches: asynchronous communication, clear ownership, deep-dive taskforces, and local decisionmaking.
+    We focus our attention on working together on our shared goals and working separately in a non-interfering way when our goals are independent.
+    We build trust primarily by working together on Nix projects.
+
+    <h4 class="text-2xl font-bold font-heading text-nix-blue mt-4">
+    Automation over process and toil
+    <Citation  id={1}>
+    <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240717145635/https://sre.google/sre-book/eliminating-toil/">Toil</a> is work that tends to be manual, repetitive, automatable, interrupt-driven, devoid of enduring value, and scaling linearly with growth.
+    </Citation>
+    </h4>
+
+    We are a global community, and disseminating information and maintaining processes can be difficult.
+    We are also a large project with a lot of hard and repetitive work.
+    Therefore, we value automation over toil, while recognizing that not all toil can be automated.
+    Automation reduces toil, but people are still accountable. Adding new toil needs a very strong justification.
+    We build automation and processes that make the best use of our contributors' limited time and energy.
+
+    <h4 class="text-2xl font-bold font-heading text-nix-blue mt-4">
+    Stable evolution over stagnation or chaos
+    </h4>
+
+    Openness to new ideas and evolution is part of what made Nix great.
+    We continue to foster that evolution while encouraging development of re-usable building blocks and well-defined, stable interfaces.
+    We value experimenting with designs and concepts, and folding successful experiments back into continuous improvement for stable components.
+    The larger the impact an action has, the more care and discussion is warranted before taking the action.
+    Our leaders have a duty to find, support, and promote new contributors — and eventually step aside for new leaders.
