-Online communities include people from many different backgrounds. -The Go contributors are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming -environment for all, regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, -disabilities, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, -race, age, religion, or similar personal characteristics. -
- --The first goal of the Code of Conduct is to specify a baseline standard -of behavior so that people with different social values and communication -styles can talk about Go effectively, productively, and respectfully. -
- --The second goal is to provide a mechanism for resolving conflicts in the -community when they arise. -
- --The third goal of the Code of Conduct is to make our community welcoming to -people from different backgrounds. -Diversity is critical to the project; for Go to be successful, it needs -contributors and users from all backgrounds. -(See Go, Open Source, Community.) -
- --We believe that healthy debate and disagreement are essential to a healthy project and community. -However, it is never ok to be disrespectful. -We value diverse opinions, but we value respectful behavior more. -
- --These are the values to which people in the Go community (“Gophers”) should aspire. -
- --People are complicated. -You should expect to be misunderstood and to misunderstand others; -when this inevitably occurs, resist the urge to be defensive or assign blame. -Try not to take offense where no offense was intended. -Give people the benefit of the doubt. -Even if the intent was to provoke, do not rise to it. -It is the responsibility of all parties to de-escalate conflict when it arises. -
- -In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as -contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and -our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body -size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of -experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, -race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
- -Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment -include:
- -Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
- -Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable -behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in -response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
- -Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject -comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are -not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any -contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, -offensive, or harmful.
- -This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces -when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of -representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail -address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed -representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be -further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
- -This Code of Conduct also applies outside the project spaces when the Project -Steward has a reasonable belief that an individual’s behavior may have a -negative impact on the project or its community.
- -We do not believe that all conflict is bad; healthy debate and disagreement -often yield positive results. However, it is never okay to be disrespectful or -to engage in behavior that violates the project’s code of conduct.
- -If you see someone violating the code of conduct, you are encouraged to address -the behavior directly with those involved. Many issues can be resolved quickly -and easily, and this gives people more control over the outcome of their -dispute. If you are unable to resolve the matter for any reason, or if the -behavior is threatening or harassing, report it. We are dedicated to providing -an environment where participants feel welcome and safe.
- -Reports should be directed to Cassandra Salisbury, the -Go Project Steward, at conduct@golang.org. -It is the Project Steward’s duty to -receive and address reported violations of the code of conduct. They will then -work with a committee consisting of representatives from the Open Source -Programs Office and the Google Open Source Strategy team. If for any reason you -are uncomfortable reaching out the Project Steward, please email -the Google Open Source Programs Office at opensource@google.com.
- -We will investigate every complaint, but you may not receive a direct response. -We will use our discretion in determining when and how to follow up on reported -incidents, which may range from not taking action to permanent expulsion from -the project and project-sponsored spaces. We will notify the accused of the -report and provide them an opportunity to discuss it before any action is taken. -The identity of the reporter will be omitted from the details of the report -supplied to the accused. In potentially harmful situations, such as ongoing -harassment or threats to anyone’s safety, we may take action without notice.
