IT should be a warm welcoming inclusive space. So will be this project. In order to keep up with this requirement this code of conduct was created.
Being a kind person is a must. This is not discussable. The following tries to be a short explanation of "kind".
- Be radically inclusive to everyone - just plain everyone.
- Be extraordinary respectful of each others abilities, interests, and personal differences.
- Be exceedingly kind even in moments of disagreement while working towards consensus.
- Be absolutely educative to others with something you know more about.
- Be open to feedback from others in the community, be it technical skill or interpersonally.
These traits build the foundation of being part of this community.
This community is a place of diversity an equality.
The following are behaviors that are known to exclude and make other demographics of people feel unwelcome. Please do not do the following.
If you think you are offending someone for whatever reason, STOP immediately. If you're uncertain, ask a core community member (in private message). Asking for guidance will show good faith that you are striving to uphold our code of conduct.
Please be especially sensitive and aware of others who are different from you. Don't make jokes, offhand comments, or name your projects in ways that can be offensive relating to, but not limited to, the following topics
- Age
- Culture
- Ethnicity
- Gender identity & expression
- Nationality
- Physical disabilities or differences
- Mental disabilities or differences
- Politics
- Race
- Religion
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
- Socio-economic status
- Subcultural affiliation
Discriminatory comments or naming of projects that relate to any of the above topics are the most common forms of abuse. Thus we consider violations relating to these topics to be severe violations of our code of conduct.
This is another tricky point as some people see no harm in naming a code
libraries things like bikini.js or crotchlessChaps.js or fat-man.rb or
leaving comments in their code like A sexy ass variadic function. These little
things may seem harmless, but can make others of different orientations,
ideologies, or life experiences feel very uncomfortable. It is best to avoid
such things as:
- Don't use overtly sexual usernames, or project names
- Don't refer to others in a sexualized way
- Refrain from comments with sexual undertones and metaphors
Most of our community are adults and should know when it's ok to flirt with other adults. However, we're also an online community whereby many people don't know each other in real life. Many of us come from different cultures. What might be seen as lighthearted flirting in one culture, might be extremely offensive to another culture. This discomfort causes people to not participate in communities. Therefore it's best to not do it.
If you are aware of a violation of our code of conduct. Please contact one of our core contributors such as:
- Olli (
oliver.wiegers at gmail.com)
And they will investigate as soon as possible. If you would like to remain anonymous in the report, please note this.
Nothing of the above applies to Nazis, Sexists or other harmful People. This community will not be tolerant to or the home to harmful people. Nazis are not welcome. To clarify: If you think you are better than any other human being, leave. You are not welcome.
