This project is a community of professionals who work better when we all treat each other with respect. This document describes the standards to which we aspire.
Participants in this project community are considerate of each other. We are open to collaboration and receptive to constructive comment and criticism. We strive to welcome those who wish to contribute to our efforts.
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers try to stay attentive in our communications, and to be tactful and courteous when broaching divergent or controversial views.
We require participants in our project and our community to maintain high standards for rejecting harassment and discrimination, particularly with regard to age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, employment, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
Examples of behavior that contribute to creating a positive environment include:
- Using welcoming and inclusive language
- Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
- Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
- Focusing on what is best for the community
- Acting with empathy for other community members
Examples of behavior that harms our efforts to create a positive environment include:
- The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
- Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- Harassment, whether in public or in private
- Publishing others' private information, such as real name, or physical or electronic address, without permission
- Other behavior that would be inappropriate in a professional setting
We all share a responsibility to create an environment that encourages behavior that meets these standards. In addition, the project maintainers (those who have direct push access to the repository) are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to instances of unacceptable behavior. Their own behavior should be held to high standards.
Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to enforce this Code of Conduct. This might include removing, editing, or rejecting contributions that do not meet standards. It might also involve suspending or banning participants who do not behave appropriately.
We expect people to maintain these standards both within project spaces and at events where they are representing the project or its community. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via project social media accounts, or acting as an appointed representative at an event.
Contributors are welcome and encouraged to resolve conflicts directly with each other, when they feel comfortable doing so.
If issues can not be resolved directly among affected people, they should report instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior to the BIFFUD Beastmaster team at beastmaster@biffud.com.
Contributors are also welcome and encouraged to contact the CoC team to ask for advice on speaking with another contributor to resolve a conflict directly.
The team will will review reports, make inquiries and respond as best it can. The individuals on the CoC team will maintain reasonable confidentiality about confidential matters like the identity of incident reporters, the reported participants in incidents, and the details of reports. At the same time, the team might discuss publicly-known or non-confidential matters with the community, especially when an incident affects a wider audience.
This Code of Conduct is heavily adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 1.4, available at http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4
