1# Code of Conduct 2 3## Our Pledge 4 5In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as 6contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and 7our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body 8size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of 9experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, 10race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation. 11 12## Our Standards 13 14Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment 15include: 16 17* Using welcoming and inclusive language 18* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences 19* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism 20* Focusing on what is best for the community 21* Showing empathy towards other community members 22 23Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include: 24 25* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or 26 advances 27* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks 28* Public or private harassment 29* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic 30 address, without explicit permission 31* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a 32 professional setting 33 34## Our Responsibilities 35 36Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable 37behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in 38response to any instances of unacceptable behavior. 39 40Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject 41comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are 42not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any 43contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, 44offensive, or harmful. 45 46## Scope 47 48This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces 49when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of 50representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail 51address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed 52representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be 53further defined and clarified by project maintainers. 54 55This Code of Conduct also applies outside the project spaces when the Project 56Steward has a reasonable belief that an individual's behavior may have a 57negative impact on the project or its community. 58 59## Conflict Resolution 60 61We do not believe that all conflict is bad; healthy debate and disagreement 62often yield positive results. However, it is never okay to be disrespectful or 63to engage in behavior that violates the project’s code of conduct. 64 65If you see someone violating the code of conduct, you are encouraged to address 66the behavior directly with those involved. Many issues can be resolved quickly 67and easily, and this gives people more control over the outcome of their 68dispute. If you are unable to resolve the matter for any reason, or if the 69behavior is threatening or harassing, report it. We are dedicated to providing 70an environment where participants feel welcome and safe. 71 72Reports should be directed to Pigweed Community Managers at 73pigweed-community-managers@google.com, the Project Steward(s) for Pigweed. It 74is the Project Steward’s duty to receive and address reported violations of the 75code of conduct. They will then work with a committee consisting of 76representatives from the Open Source Programs Office and the Google Open Source 77Strategy team. If for any reason you are uncomfortable reaching out the Project 78Steward, please email opensource@google.com. 79 80We will investigate every complaint, but you may not receive a direct response. 81We will use our discretion in determining when and how to follow up on reported 82incidents, which may range from not taking action to permanent expulsion from 83the project and project-sponsored spaces. We will notify the accused of the 84report and provide them an opportunity to discuss it before any action is taken. 85The identity of the reporter will be omitted from the details of the report 86supplied to the accused. In potentially harmful situations, such as ongoing 87harassment or threats to anyone's safety, we may take action without notice. 88 89## Attribution 90 91This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 1.4, 92available at 93https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html 94
