| # Citizen Code of Conduct | ||
|
|
||
| ## 1. Purpose | ||
|
|
||
| A primary goal of COMMUNITY_NAME is to be inclusive to | ||
| the largest number of contributors, with the most varied | ||
| and diverse backgrounds possible. As such, we are committed | ||
| to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for | ||
| all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ability, | ||
| ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion (or lack | ||
| thereof). | ||
|
|
||
| This code of conduct outlines our expectations for all | ||
| those who participate in our community, as well as the | ||
| consequences for unacceptable behavior. | ||
|
|
||
| We invite all those who participate in COMMUNITY_NAME to | ||
| help us create safe and positive experiences for everyone. | ||
|
|
||
| ## 2. Open [Source/Culture/Tech] Citizenship | ||
|
|
||
| A supplemental goal of this Code of Conduct is to | ||
| increase open [source/culture/tech] citizenship by encouraging | ||
| participants to recognize and strengthen the relationships | ||
| between our actions and their effects on our community. | ||
|
|
||
| Communities mirror the societies in which they exist and positive action is essential to counteract the many forms of inequality and abuses of power that exist in society. | ||
|
|
||
| If you see someone who is making an extra effort to | ||
| ensure our community is welcoming, friendly, and encourages | ||
| all participants to contribute to the fullest extent, we | ||
| want to know. | ||
|
|
||
| ## 3. Expected Behavior | ||
|
|
||
| * Participate in an authentic and active way. In doing so, you contribute to the health and longevity of this community. | ||
| * Exercise consideration and respect in your speech and actions. | ||
| * Attempt collaboration before conflict. | ||
| * Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech. | ||
| * Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants. Alert community leaders if you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of this Code of Conduct, even if they seem inconsequential. | ||
|
|
||
| ## 4. Unacceptable Behavior | ||
|
|
||
| Unacceptable behaviors include: intimidating, harassing, abusive, | ||
| discriminatory, derogatory or demeaning speech or actions by | ||
| any participant in our community online, at all related | ||
| events and in one-on-one communications carried out in the | ||
| context of community business. Community event venues may be | ||
| shared with members of the public; please be respectful to | ||
| all patrons of these locations. | ||
|
|
||
| Harassment includes: harmful or prejudicial verbal or written | ||
| comments related to gender, sexual orientation, race, | ||
| religion, disability; inappropriate use of nudity and/or | ||
| sexual images in public spaces (including presentation | ||
| slides); deliberate intimidation, stalking or following; | ||
| harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of | ||
| talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact, and | ||
| unwelcome sexual attention. | ||
|
|
||
| ## 5. Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior | ||
|
|
||
| Unacceptable behavior from any community member, including | ||
| sponsors and those with decision-making authority, will not | ||
| be tolerated. | ||
|
|
||
| Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to | ||
| comply immediately. | ||
|
|
||
| If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the | ||
| community organizers may take any action they deem | ||
| appropriate, up to and including a temporary ban or | ||
| permanent expulsion from the community without warning (and | ||
| without refund in the case of a paid event). | ||
|
|
||
| ## 6. If You Witness or Are Subject to Unacceptable Behavior | ||
|
|
||
| If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or | ||
| have any other concerns, please notify a community organizer | ||
| as soon as possible. [CONTACT_INFO_HERE] | ||
|
|
||
| Additionally, community organizers are available to help | ||
| community members engage with local law enforcement or to | ||
| otherwise help those experiencing unacceptable behavior feel | ||
| safe. In the context of in-person events, organizers will | ||
| also provide escorts as desired by the person experiencing | ||
| distress. | ||
|
|
||
| ## 7. Addressing Grievances | ||
|
|
||
| If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of | ||
| violating this Code of Conduct, you should notify | ||
| GOVERNING_BODY with a concise description of your grievance. | ||
| Your grievance will be handled in accordance with our | ||
| existing governing policies. [LINK_TO_POLICY] | ||
|
|
||
| [NOTE: Every organization's governing policies should dictate | ||
| how you handle warnings and expulsions of community members. | ||
| It is strongly recommended that you mention those policies | ||
| here or in Section 7 and that you include a mechanism | ||
| for addressing grievances.] | ||
|
|
||
| ## 8. Scope | ||
|
|
||
| We expect all community participants (contributors, paid or | ||
| otherwise; sponsors; and other guests) to abide by this | ||
| Code of Conduct in all community venues—online and in- | ||
| person—as well as in all one-on-one communications pertaining | ||
| to community business. | ||
|
