| 1 | +# Adafruit Community Code of Conduct |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Our Pledge |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as |
| 6 | +contributors and leaders pledge to making participation in our project and |
| 7 | +our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body |
| 8 | +size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level or type of |
| 9 | +experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, |
| 10 | +race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Our Standards |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for |
| 15 | +all. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment |
| 18 | +include: |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +* Be kind and courteous to others |
| 21 | +* Using welcoming and inclusive language |
| 22 | +* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences |
| 23 | +* Collaborating with other community members |
| 24 | +* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism |
| 25 | +* Focusing on what is best for the community |
| 26 | +* Showing empathy towards other community members |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include: |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +* The use of sexualized language or imagery and sexual attention or advances |
| 31 | +* The use of inappropriate images, including in a community member's avatar |
| 32 | +* The use of inappropriate language, including in a community member's nickname |
| 33 | +* Any spamming, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing behavior |
| 34 | +* Excessive or unwelcome helping; answering outside the scope of the question |
| 35 | + asked |
| 36 | +* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks |
| 37 | +* Public or private harassment |
| 38 | +* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic |
| 39 | + address, without explicit permission |
| 40 | +* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +The goal of the standards and moderation guidelines outlined here is to build |
| 43 | +and maintain a respectful community. We ask that you don’t just aim to be |
| 44 | +"technically unimpeachable", but rather try to be your best self. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +We value many things beyond technical expertise, including collaboration and |
| 47 | +supporting others within our community. Providing a positive experience for |
| 48 | +other community members can have a much more significant impact than simply |
| 49 | +providing the correct answer. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +## Our Responsibilities |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +Project leaders are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable |
| 54 | +behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in |
| 55 | +response to any instances of unacceptable behavior. |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Project leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or |
| 58 | +reject messages, comments, commits, code, issues, and other contributions |
| 59 | +that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or |
| 60 | +permanently any community member for other behaviors that they deem |
| 61 | +inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +## Moderation |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Instances of behaviors that violate the Adafruit Community Code of Conduct |
| 66 | +may be reported by any member of the community. Community members are |
| 67 | +encouraged to report these situations, including situations they witness |
| 68 | +involving other community members. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +You may report in the following ways: |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +In any situation, you may send an email to <[email protected]>. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +On the Adafruit Discord, you may send an open message from any channel |
| 75 | +to all Community Helpers by tagging @community helpers. You may also send an |
| 76 | +open message from any channel, or a direct message to @kattni#1507, |
| 77 | +@tannewt#4653, @Dan Halbert#1614, @cater#2442, @sommersoft#0222, or |
| 78 | +@Andon#8175. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +Email and direct message reports will be kept confidential. |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +In situations on Discord where the issue is particularly egregious, possibly |
| 83 | +illegal, requires immediate action, or violates the Discord terms of service, |
| 84 | +you should also report the message directly to Discord. |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +These are the steps for upholding our community’s standards of conduct. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +1. Any member of the community may report any situation that violates the |
| 89 | +Adafruit Community Code of Conduct. All reports will be reviewed and |
| 90 | +investigated. |
| 91 | +2. If the behavior is an egregious violation, the community member who |
| 92 | +committed the violation may be banned immediately, without warning. |
| 93 | +3. Otherwise, moderators will first respond to such behavior with a warning. |
| 94 | +4. Moderators follow a soft "three strikes" policy - the community member may |
| 95 | +be given another chance, if they are receptive to the warning and change their |
| 96 | +behavior. |
| 97 | +5. If the community member is unreceptive or unreasonable when warned by a |
| 98 | +moderator, or the warning goes unheeded, they may be banned for a first or |
| 99 | +second offense. Repeated offenses will result in the community member being |
| 100 | +banned. |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +## Scope |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +This Code of Conduct and the enforcement policies listed above apply to all |
| 105 | +Adafruit Community venues. This includes but is not limited to any community |
| 106 | +spaces (both public and private), the entire Adafruit Discord server, and |
| 107 | +Adafruit GitHub repositories. Examples of Adafruit Community spaces include |
| 108 | +but are not limited to meet-ups, audio chats on the Adafruit Discord, or |
| 109 | +interaction at a conference. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces |
| 112 | +when an individual is representing the project or its community. As a community |
| 113 | +member, you are representing our community, and are expected to behave |
| 114 | +accordingly. |
| 115 | + |
