XBMC as an open source project, has a core team of passionate developers and other Team-XBMC members who are listed here below, we also have a growing community of over 30,000 registered forum members from all around the world who are all very entusiastic about being part of the XBMC community. The vision summery of Team-XBMC is to create the best cross-platform media center software there is, together we are shaping and redefining the de standard within beautiful presentation and intuitive interface of multimedia playback, checkout the full XBMC project manifesto for a more specific explanation of what exactly we mean by that.

The code of conduct guidelines that all Team-XBMC members is expected to abide by is:

• Promote open source - XBMC is based on the ideas and spirit of FOSS (free open source software) , licensed under the GPL and builds partly on other open source projects which we too do our best to support. The GPL should be respected at all times, and all code should be committed to the XBMC project’s SVN before any public binaries are released.
• Promote the sharing of knowledge and collaboration - Through the use of information sharing tools and practices XBMC is a collaborative environment.
• Understand that development is a team effort - Treating our users as co-developers has proven to be the most effective option for rapid development. Always strive to work as a team at all times. Actively promote discussion on new features and bug fixes, and respect others comments and criticisms with replies in a timely fashion.
• Apply the Law of Diminishing Return - The majority of the effort should be invested in implementing features which have the most benefit and widest general usage by the community.
• All code should strive to be platform agnostic - XBMC is a multi-platform software, thus any single platform specific features should be discussed with other team members before implemented, and software portability should always be kept in mind. All major code changes and new features and functions should be developed in a separate branch or committed in small increments so that other members have the opportunity to review the code on other platforms and be able to give feedback during development.
