In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in pyDARN and DAWG a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
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
- Focusing on what is best for the community
- Showing empathy towards other community members
- Please see communication guidelines for more examples
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
- The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
- Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- 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 in a professional setting
PyDARN/DAWG leaders/chairs (please see DAWG charter on pyDARN/DAWG 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.
PyDARN/DAWG leaders/chairs have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, README edits, readthedocs edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct or the scope of pyDARN, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
This Code of Conduct applies both within pyDARN spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the pyDARN/DAWG or its community. Examples of representing pyDARN or DAWG include: using an official pyDARN name or logo, publishing work in an official journal or conference, posting via an official website or online conference, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline conference or workshop. Representation of pyDARN may be further defined and clarified by pyDARN maintainers.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the pydarn team lead at or contacting the DAWG chairs. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The pyDARN team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately. Please see communication guidelines and reporting guidelines for more information.
pyDARN developers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by DAWG chairs.
