# Code of conduct
|
||
|
||
This code of conduct outlines our expectations for participants within the
|
||
Cycl'Assist community, as well as steps to report unacceptable behavior. We are
|
||
committed to provide a welcoming and inspiring community for all and expect
|
||
our code of conduct to be honored. Anyone who violates this code of conduct
|
||
may be banned from the community.
|
||
|
||
Our open source community strives to:
|
||
|
||
- Be friendly and patient.
|
||
- Be welcoming: We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people
|
||
of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to
|
||
members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour,
|
||
immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex,
|
||
sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family
|
||
status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
|
||
- Be considerate: Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will
|
||
depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and
|
||
colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making
|
||
decisions. Remember that we’re a world-wide community, so you might not be
|
||
communicating in someone else’s primary language.
|
||
- Be respectful: Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no
|
||
excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some
|
||
frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into
|
||
a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people
|
||
feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one.
|
||
- Be careful in the words that we choose. Be kind to others. Do not insult or
|
||
put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior
|
||
aren’t acceptable.
|
||
- Try to understand why we disagree: Disagreements, both social and technical,
|
||
happen all the time. It is important that we resolve disagreements and
|
||
differing views constructively. Remember that we’re different. The strength
|
||
of our community comes from its diversity, people from a wide range of
|
||
backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being
|
||
unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re
|
||
wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn’t
|
||
get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning
|
||
from mistakes.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Definitions
|
||
|
||
Harassment includes, but is not limited to:
|

|
||
religious affiliation

|
||
including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment
|
||
- Deliberate misgendering. This includes deadnaming or persistently using a
|
||
pronoun that does not correctly reflect a person’s gender identity. You must
|
||
address people by the name they give you when not addressing them by their
|
||
username or handle
|
||

|

|
||
inappropriate levels of intimacy with others
|
||
- Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease
|
||
- Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their
|
||
consent except as necessary to protect others from intentional abuse
|
||
- Publication of non-harassing private communication
|
||
|
||
Our open source community prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over
|
||
privileged people’s comfort. We will not act on complaints regarding:
|
||
|
||
- ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’
|
||
- Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you”
|
||
- Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts
|
||
- Communicating in a ‘tone’ you don’t find congenial
|
||
- Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Diversity Statement
|
||
|
||
We encourage everyone to participate and are committed to building a community
|
||
for all. Although we will fail at times, we seek to treat everyone both as
|
||
fairly and equally as possible. Whenever a participant has made a mistake, we
|
||
expect them to take responsibility for it. If someone has been harmed or
|
||
offended, it is our responsibility to listen carefully and respectfully, and
|
||
do our best to right the wrong.
|
||
|
||
Although this list cannot be exhaustive, we explicitly honor diversity in age,
|
||
gender, gender identity or expression, culture, ethnicity, language, national
|
||
origin, political beliefs, profession, race, religion, sexual orientation,
|
||
socioeconomic status, and technical ability. We will not tolerate
|
||
discrimination based on any of the protected characteristics above, including
|
||
participants with disabilities.
|
||
|
||
## Reporting Issues

|
||
