# CircuitPython Community Code of Conduct
|
||
|
||
## Our Pledge
|
||
|
||
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
|
||
contributors and leaders pledge to making participation in our project and
|
||
our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
|
||
size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level or type of
|
||
experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance,
|
||
race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
|
||
|
||
## Our Standards
|
||
|
||
We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for
|
||
all.
|
||
|
||
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
|
||
include:
|
||
|
||
* Be kind and courteous to others
|
||
* Using welcoming and inclusive language
|
||
* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
|
||
* Collaborating with other community members
|
||
* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
|
||
* Focusing on what is best for the community
|
||
* Showing empathy towards other community members
|
||
|
||
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
|
||
|
||
* The use of sexualized language or imagery and sexual attention or advances
|
||
* The use of inappropriate images, including in a community member's avatar
|
||
* The use of inappropriate language, including in a community member's nickname
|
||
* Any spamming, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing behavior
|
||
* Excessive or unwelcome helping; answering outside the scope of the question
|
||
asked
|
||
* Discussion or promotion of activities or projects that intend or pose a risk of
|
||
significant harm
|
||
* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
|
||
* Promoting or spreading disinformation, lies, or conspiracy theories against
|
||
a person, group, organisation, project, or community
|
||
* Public or private harassment
|
||
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
|
||
address, without explicit permission
|
||
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate
|
||
|
||
The goal of the standards and moderation guidelines outlined here is to build
|
||
and maintain a respectful community. We ask that you don’t just aim to be
|
||
"technically unimpeachable", but rather try to be your best self.
|
||
|
||
We value many things beyond technical expertise, including collaboration and
|
||
supporting others within our community. Providing a positive experience for
|
||
other community members can have a much more significant impact than simply
|
||
providing the correct answer.
|
||
|
||
## Our Responsibilities
|
||
|
||
Project leaders are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
|
||
behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
|
||
response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
|
||
|
||
Project leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
|
||
reject messages, comments, commits, code, issues, and other contributions
|
||
that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
|
||
permanently any community member for other behaviors that they deem
|
||
inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
|
||
|
||
## Moderation
|
||
|
||
Instances of behaviors that violate the CircuitPython Community Code of Conduct
|
||
may be reported by any member of the community. Community members are
|
||
encouraged to report these situations, including situations they witness
|
||
involving other community members.
|
||
|
||
You may report in the following ways:
|
||
|
||
In any situation, you may email the project maintainer.
|
||
|
||
Email reports will be kept confidential.
|
||
|
||
In situations on GitHub where the issue is particularly offensive, possibly
|
||
illegal, requires immediate action, or violates the GitHub terms of service,
|
||
you should also report the message directly to GitHub via the comment, or via
|
||
[GitHub Support](https://support.github.com/contact/report-abuse?category=report-abuse&report=other&report_type=unspecified).
|
||
|
||
These are the steps for upholding our community’s standards of conduct.
|
||
|
||
1. Any member of the community may report any situation that violates the
|
||
CircuitPython Community Code of Conduct. All reports will be reviewed and
|
||
investigated.
|
||
2. If the behavior is a severe violation, the community member who
|
||
committed the violation may be banned immediately, without warning.
|
||
3. Otherwise, moderators will first respond to such behavior with a warning.
|
||
4. Moderators follow a soft "three strikes" policy - the community member may
|
||
be given another chance, if they are receptive to the warning and change their
|
||
behavior.
|
||
5. If the community member is unreceptive or unreasonable when warned by a
|
||
moderator, or the warning goes unheeded, they may be banned for a first or
|
||
second offense. Repeated offenses will result in the community member being
|
||
banned.
|
||
6. Disciplinary actions (warnings, bans, etc) for Code of Conduct violations apply
|
||
to the platform where the violation occurred. However, depending on the severity
|
||
of the violation, the disciplinary action may be applied across CircuitPython's
|
||
other community platforms. For example, a severe violation in one Community forum
|
||
may result in a ban on not only the CircuitPython GitHub organisation,
|
||
but also on the CircuitPython Twitter, live stream text chats, etc.
|
||
|
||
## Scope
|
||
|
||
This Code of Conduct and the enforcement policies listed above apply to all
|
||
CircuitPython Community venues. This includes but is not limited to any community
|
||
spaces (both public and private), and CircuitPython repositories. Examples of
|
||
CircuitPython Community spaces include but are not limited to meet-ups, issue
|
||
threads on GitHub, text chats during a live stream, or interaction at a conference.
|
||
|
||
This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
|
||
when an individual is representing the project or its community. As a community
|
||
member, you are representing our community, and are expected to behave
|
||
accordingly.
|
||
|
||

|
||

|
||
Conduct, please contact the maintainers of those projects for enforcement.
|
||
If you wish to use this code of conduct for your own project, consider
|
||
explicitly mentioning your moderation policy or making a copy with your
|
||
own moderation policy so as to avoid confusion.
