# 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 dont 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 communitys 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.
## Attribution

[Adafruit Community Code of Conduct](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Community_Code_of_Conduct),

For other projects adopting the CircuitPython Community Code of
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.
