As systems administrators, we have a great deal of access to information - and more so with the Bring Your Own Device trend. I'm sure that we've all discovered things in the course of doing our jobs that we either wish we hadn't known, or have found it difficult to keep secret (examples include that coworkerA is going out with coworkerB, or that the company is definitely not doing as well financially as they make it seem).

I believe that the opsschool curriculum should spend some time (not necessarily a lot, but some) on dealing with this.

Hi @jrgifford !

Thanks for the interest. As you probably saw, we have a section with pretty much nothing in it.

Do you have any ideas of where we might start with this kind of topic?

LOPSA and USENIX put a large amount of work into a Code of Ethics many
years ago (https://lopsa.org/CodeOfEthics). Perhaps a good starting point
on ethics may just be to expound on each of the points made in their
document, using it as an outline for writing an article.

That is likely to be a good place to start.
