HOT is committed to providing a -welcoming and safe environment for people of all races, gender identities, -gender expressions, sexual orientations, physical abilities, physical -appearances, socio-economic backgrounds, nationalities, ages, religions, and -beliefs. - -The HOT community principles are: - -- **Be friendly and patient.** Be generous and kind in both giving and accepting - critique. Critique is a natural and important part of our culture. Good - critiques are kind, respectful, clear, and constructive, focused on goals and - requirements rather than personal preferences. You are expected to give and - receive criticism with grace. Be considerate in speech and actions, and - actively seek to acknowledge and respect the boundaries of fellow attendees. - -- **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports - people of all backgrounds and identities. Some examples of behavior that - contributes to creating a positive environment include: - - - Using welcoming and inclusive language. - - - Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences. - - - Gracefully accepting constructive criticism. - - - Showing empathy towards other community members. - - - Placing collective interest before your own interest. - -- **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn - will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and - colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making - decisions. Remember that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be - communicating in someone else's primary language. - -- **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is - no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some - frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a - personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people feel - uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the HOT - community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with - people outside the HOT community. - -- **Be careful in your word choice.** We are a global community of - professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do - not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary - behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to: - - - Violent threats or language directed against another person. - - - Discriminatory jokes and language. - - - Posting sexually explicit or violent material. - - - Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying - information ("doxing"). - - - Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms. - - - Unwelcome sexual attention. - - - Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior. - - - Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then - stop. - -- **Assume all communications are positive.** Always remain polite, and assume - good faith. It is surprisingly easy to misunderstand each other, be it online - or in person, particularly in such a culturally diverse setting as ours. - Misunderstandings are particularly easy to arise when we are in a rush, or - otherwise distracted. Please ask clarifying questions before assuming that a - communication was inappropriate. - -- **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and - technical, happen easily and often. It is important that we resolve such - disagreements and differing views constructively. At times it can be hard to - appreciate a viewpoint that contradicts your own perceptions. Instead of pushing - back, try to understand where the other person is coming from, and don’t be - afraid to ask questions. You can be most helpful if your own replies serve to - clarify, rather than to escalate an issue. Also don’t forget that it can be - easy to make mistakes, and allow for the possibility that the mistake may have - been yours. When this happens it is better to resolve the issue together, and - to learn from the experience together, than to place blame. - -Original text courtesy of the [Speak Up! project][1]. - -Further sources: - -- [Ada Initiative: HOWTO design a code of conduct for your community][3] - -- [Algorithm Club Code of Conduct][4] - -- [American Red Cross GIS Team Code of Conduct][5] - -- [Contributor Covenant – A Code of Conduct for Open Source Projects][6] - -- [Django Code of Conduct][7] - -- [Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines][8] - -- [Vox Media Code of Conduct][9] - -## Complaint Handling Process - -As a first measure, it is preferable to work out issues directly with the people -involved, or to work with other Community Members who can help you resolve the -issue. This may take several forms: - -- Talk with one another. Assume that communications are positive and that people - are treating each other with respect. Cues about emotions are often lacking - from digital communications. Many of our modes of digital communication tend - towards brevity, which can be easier to interpret incorrectly as being negative. - -- Contact a representative of the [Community Working Group][10], which exists to - support the HOT Community. Representatives are available to discuss any - concerns about behaviour within the community, or ideas to promote positive - behaviours. You can email them at - [community@hotosm.org](mailto:community@hotosm.org). - -- Contact a representative of the [Governance Working Group][11], which drafted - these recommendations and the CoC. Representatives are available to provide - advice on particular scenarios, as well as on the processes around the CoC. - -- Contact the HOT Chair of Voting Members. - -- Contact a [HOT Board Member][12]. Board members are well versed in the - community and its management. They can offer advice on your particular - situation, and know the resources of the organization that may be available to - you. - -- Contact the HOT Community Partnerships Manager. - -When these informal processes fail, or when a situation warrants an immediate -response by HOT, you can evoke the -**HOT Policy and Code of Conduct Complaint Handling Process**. -This process was adopted by HOT Voting Members in 2016 to provide a more formal -means of enforcement for our community standards. You start it by emailing -[complaints@hotosm.org](mailto:compaints@hotosm.org) with a description of -your complaint, your name, and the name of the offending party. -All complaints will be considered confidential. -The full process is described [here][13] . - -[1]: https://www.hotosm.org/code-of-conduct -[3]: https://adainitiative.org/2014/02/18/howto-design-a-code-of-conduct-for-your-community/ -[4]: https://github.com/drtortoise/critical-algorithm-studies/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md -[5]: https://github.com/AmericanRedCross/team-code-of-conduct -[6]: http://contributor-covenant.org/ -[7]: https://www.djangoproject.com/conduct/ -[8]: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/participation/ -[9]: http://code-of-conduct.voxmedia.com/ -[10]: https://www.hotosm.org/community/working-groups/ -[11]: https://www.hotosm.org/community/working-groups/ -[12]: https://www.hotosm.org/board -[13]: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xb-SPADtSbgwl6mAgglHMPHpknt-E7lKRoIcSbW431A/edit diff --git a/docs/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md b/docs/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md deleted file mode 120000 index 0400d57460..0000000000 --- a/docs/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1 +0,0 @@ -../CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/mkdocs.yml b/mkdocs.yml index c7b1e6303a..1e382f9646 100644 --- a/mkdocs.yml +++ b/mkdocs.yml @@ -65,7 +65,7 @@ nav: - Installation: INSTALL.md - Contribution Guidelines: CONTRIBUTING.md - Documentation Contribution: Guide-On-Improving-Documentation.md - - Code of Conduct: CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md + - Code of Conduct: https://docs.hotosm.org/code-of-conduct - FAQ: FAQ.md - User Manuals: - Project Managers: User-Manual-For-Project-Managers.md
