| 4 | +This code of conduct outlines our expectations for the people involved with this project. We, as members, contributors |
| 5 | +and leaders are committed to providing a welcoming and inspiring project that anyone can easily join, expecting |
| 6 | +a harassment-free experience, as described in this code of conduct. |

8 | | - TODO: Rewrite the code of conduct here directly, rather than including it |
9 | | - like this, and just include a link to the docs in CODE-OF-CONDUCT.md |
| 8 | +This code of conduct is here to ensure we provide a welcoming and inspiring project that anyone can easily join, |
| 9 | +expecting a harassment-free experience, as described in this code of conduct. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +The goal of this document is to set the overall tone for our community. It is here to outline some of the things you |
| 12 | +can and can't do if you wish to participate in our community. However it is not here to serve as a rule-book with |
| 13 | +a complete set of things you can't do, social conduct differs from situation to situation, and person to person, but we |
| 14 | +should do our best to try and provide a good experience to everyone, in every situation. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +We value many things beyond just technical expertise, including collaboration and supporting others within our |
| 17 | +community. Providing a positive experience for others can have a much more significant impact than simply providing the |
| 18 | +correct answer. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Harassment |
| 21 | +---------- |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +We share a common understanding of what constitutes harassment as it applies to a professional setting. Although this |
| 24 | +list cannot be exhaustive, we explicitly honor diversity in age, gender, culture, ethnicity, language, national origin, |
| 25 | +political beliefs, profession, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, disability and personal |
| 26 | +appearance. We will not tolerate discrimination based on any of the protected characteristics above, including some |
| 27 | +that may not have been explicitly mentioned here. We consider discrimination of any kind to be unacceptable and |
| 28 | +immoral. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Harassment includes, but is not limited to: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +* Offensive comments (or "jokes") related to any of the above mentioned attributes. |
| 33 | +* Deliberate "outing"/"doxing" of any aspect of a person's identity, such as physical or electronic address, without |
| 34 | + their explicit consent, except as necessary to protect others from intentional abuse. |
| 35 | +* Unwelcome comments regarding a person's lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, |
| 36 | + parenting, drugs and employment. |
| 37 | +* Deliberate misgendering. This includes deadnaming or persistently using a pronoun that does not correctly reflect a |
| 38 | + person's gender identity. You must address people by the name they give you when not addressing them by their |
| 39 | + username or handle. |
| 40 | +* Threats of violence, both physical and psychological. |
| 41 | +* Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to engage in self-harm. |
| 42 | +* Publication of non-harassing private communication. |
| 43 | +* Pattern of inappropriate social conduct, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others, or |
| 44 | + excessive teasing after a request to stop. |
| 45 | +* Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease. |
| 46 | +* Sabotage of someone else's work or intentionally hindering someone else's performance. |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +Plagiarism |
| 49 | +---------- |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +Plagiarism is the re-use of someone else's work (eg: binary content such as images, textual content such as an article, |
| 52 | +but also source code, or any other copyrightable resources) without the permission or license right from the author. |
| 53 | +Claiming someone else's work as your own is not just immoral and disrespectful to the author, but also illegal in most |
| 54 | +countries. You should always follow the authors wishes, and give credit where credit is due. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +If we found that you've **intentionally** attempted to add plagiarized content to our code-base, you will likely end up |
| 57 | +being permanently banned from any future contributions to this project's repository. We will of course also do our best |
| 58 | +to remove, or properly attribute this plagiarized content as quickly as possible. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +An unintentional attempt at plagiarism will not be punished as harshly, but nevertheless, it is your responsibility as |
| 61 | +a contributor to check where the code you're submitting comes from, and so repeated submission of such content, even |
| 62 | +after you were warned might still get you banned. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +Please note that an online repository that has no license is presumed to only be source-available, NOT open-source. |
| 65 | +Meaning that this work is protected by author's copyright, automatically imposed over it, and without any license |
| 66 | +extending that copyright, you have no rights to use such code. So know that you can't simply take some source-code, |
| 67 | +even though it's published publicly. This code may be available to be seen by anyone, but that does not mean it's also |
| 68 | +available to be used by anyone in other projects. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Another important note to keep in mind is that even if some project has an open-source license, that license may have |
| 71 | +conditions which are incompatible with our codebase (such as requiring all of the code that links to this new part to |
| 72 | +also be licensed under the same license, which our code-base is not currently under). That is why it's necessary to |
| 73 | +understand a license before using code available under it. Simple attribution often isn't everything that the license |
| 74 | +requires. |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +Generally inappropriate behavior |
| 77 | +-------------------------------- |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +Outside of just harassment and plagiarism, there are countless other behaviors which we consider unacceptable, as they |
| 80 | +may be offensive, and discourage people from engaging with our community. |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +**Examples of generally inappropriate behavior:** |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +* The use of sexualized language or imagery of any kind |
| 85 | +* The use of inappropriate images, including in an account's avatar |
| 86 | +* The use of inappropriate language, including in an account's nickname |
| 87 | +* Any spamming, flamming, baiting or other attention-stealing behavior |
| 88 | +* Discussing topics that are overly polarizing, sensitive, or incite arguments. |
| 89 | +* Responding with "RTFM", "just google it" or similar response to help requests |
| 90 | +* Other conduct which could be reasonably considered inappropriate |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +**Examples of generally appropriate behavior:** |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +* Being kind and courteous to others |
| 95 | +* Collaborating with other community members |
| 96 | +* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism |
| 97 | +* Using welcoming and inclusive language |
| 98 | +* Showing empathy towards other community members |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +Scope |
| 101 | +----- |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, including this repository itself, conversations on any |
| 104 | +platforms officially connected to this project (such as in GitHub issues, through official emails or applications like |
| 105 | +discord). It also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces. Examples of |
| 106 | +representing our community include using an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at |
| 107 | +an online or offline event. |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +All members involved with the project are expected to follow this Code of Conduct, no matter their position in the |
| 110 | +project's hierarchy, this Code of Conduct applies equally to contributors, maintainers, people seeking help/reporting |
| 111 | +bugs, etc. |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +Enforcement Responsibilities |
| 114 | +---------------------------- |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +Whenever a participant has made a mistake, we expect them to take responsibility for their actions. If someone has been |
| 117 | +harmed or offended, it is our responsibility to listen carefully and respectfully, and to do our best to right the |
| 118 | +wrong. |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take |
| 121 | +appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, |
| 122 | +offensive, harmful, or otherwise undesirable. |
| 123 | + |
| 124 | +Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, |
| 125 | +issues and other contributions within the enforcement scope that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will |
| 126 | +communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate. |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +If you have experienced or witnessed unacceptable behavior constituting a code of conduct violation or have any other |
| 129 | +code of conduct concerns, please let us know and we will do our best to resolve this issue. |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +Reporting a Code of Conduct violation |
| 132 | +------------------------------------- |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +If you saw someone violating the Code of Conduct in some way, you can report it to any repository maintainer, either by |
| 135 | +email or through a Discord DM. You should avoid using public channels for reporting these, and instead do so in private |
| 136 | +discussion with a maintainer. |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +Sources |
| 139 | +------- |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +The open-source community has an incredible amount of resources that people have freely provided to others and we all |
| 142 | +depend on these projects in many ways. This code of conduct article is no exception and there were many open source |
| 143 | +projects that has helped bring this code of conduct to existence. For that reason, we'd like to thank all of these |
| 144 | +communities and projects for keeping their content open and available to everyone, but most notably we'd like to thank |
| 145 | +the projects with established codes of conduct and diversity statements that we used as our inspiration. Below is the |
