This replaces our previous Code of Conduct, which had been in place since 2017, and brings our community standards into alignment with those of our fiscal sponsor, [NumFOCUS][NF]. + +Our decision to adopt the NumFOCUS Code of Conduct was motivated by a desire to better serve our growing and diverse community through a process that is impartial, transparent, and sustainable. By aligning with NumFOCUS’s framework, all Code of Conduct reports are reviewed by the [NumFOCUS Code of Conduct Working Group][NF-WG], a team of trained responders who operate independently of the MDAnalysis team to ensure reports are reviewed, investigated, and advised upon with neutrality. + +## What’s Covered in the Code of Conduct? + +The full text of [our Code of Conduct]({{ site.baseurl }}/conduct) is available on our website. + +The document outlines: +* **expected behavior**, such as respectful communications and inclusion of diverse perspectives; +* **unacceptable behavior**, including harassment and discrimination; +* **reporting procedures** and contact points for individuals who experience or witness potential conduct violations; +* **enforcement procedures**, namely, that the MDAnalysis Code of Conduct Committee is responsible for enforcement based on recommendations from the [NumFOCUS Code of Conduct Working Group][NF-WG]. + +The Code of Conduct applies to *all MDAnalysis project spaces* — including [GitHub]({{ site.github.repo }} and [GitHub Discussions]({{ site.mailinglists.discussion.url }}); [Discord]({{ site.discord.url }}); [LinkedIn]({{ site.linkedin.url }}); [Bluesky]({{ site.bluesky.url }}); workshops and events; and all other forums associated with MDAnalysis. + +## Our Commitment + +All [MDAnalysis core developers]({{ site.baseurl }}/pages/governance/#mdanalysis-core-developers) have unanimously agreed to adopt the new Code of Conduct and are fully committed to upholding its principles. Our goal is to ensure that the MDAnalysis community continues to be a place where all contributors, users, maintainers, and other community members feel welcomed, valued, and safe. As it takes *all of us*, and not just core developers, to foster an inclusive environment, all MDAnalysis community members agree to share a common set of core values and act according to these principles in all interactions within our community. + +If you have any questions or concerns regarding the Code of Conduct, we encourage you to [reach out to the MDAnalysis Code of Conduct Committee][email].
