We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in the Pyde project a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
Examples of behaviour that contributes to a positive environment:
- Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
- Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
- Accepting responsibility and apologising to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
- Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community
Examples of unacceptable behaviour:
- The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind
- Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
Pyde is a technical project with strong engineering opinions. The following are explicitly acceptable and not violations of this policy, even when they may feel uncomfortable:
- Direct technical criticism of code, design, or arguments (we prefer honest pushback over polite avoidance)
- Disagreement with proposals, including PIPs, where the disagreement is substantive and technical
- Asking contributors to justify design decisions with evidence
- Pointing out engineering anti-patterns, hardening gaps, or performance problems
What separates technical critique from a CoC violation is the target and intent: critique the work, not the person; aim to improve, not to dominate.
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing this Code of Conduct. They will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behaviour they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces — issue trackers, PR threads, PIP discussions, project Discord/Slack (when they exist), real-life events held under the Pyde banner — and also applies when an individual is officially representing the project in public spaces.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behaviour
may be reported to the project maintainers at conduct@pyde.network
(or info@pyde.network). All
complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
All maintainers are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.
Maintainers will follow these guidelines in determining consequences for violations:
Impact: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome.
Consequence: A private, written warning, providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
Impact: A violation through a single incident or series of actions.
Consequence: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No interaction with the people involved for a specified period. This includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.
Impact: A serious violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior.
Consequence: A temporary ban from any interaction or public communication with the community for a specified period. No public or private interaction with the people involved is allowed during this period. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
Impact: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behaviour, harassment of an individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
Consequence: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the community.
