In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
- Everyone in the group should ensure that they can be contacted easily by other members of the group by giving them adequate contact information
- When working in a group, please treat other members of the group with courtesy and respect their opinions, even if you do not necessarily agree with them
- You are expected to make a full and fair contribution to the work of the group
- When you agree to undertake a task that has been assigned to you by the group you must try work to the agreed deadline since failure to do so could impede the progress of the whole project
- You have the right, naturally, to challenge other’s opinions but please try to do it in a non-aggressive way
- It is your responsibility to attend all meetings arranged by the group to advance the project, and to arrive at those meetings on time. If you can’t attend a meeting of the group you should consider providing your input in written form and giving this to the other group members before the meeting
- If another member of your group tells you something in confidence.
In particular, respect differences of opinion.
Interpret the arguments of others in good faith, do not seek to disagree. When we do disagree, try to understand why.
Project maintainers 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 maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
This Code of Conduct will apply both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the project team at atiwari4@ncsu.edu. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project's leadership.
