- <h2 id="about">About</h2>
- <p>
- 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.
- </p>
- <p>
- 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.
- </p>
- <p>
- The second goal is to provide a mechanism for resolving conflicts in the
- community when they arise.
- </p>
- <p>
- 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 <a href="https://blog.golang.org/open-source">Go, Open Source, Community</a>.)
- </p>
- <p>
- 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.
- </p>
- <h2 id="values">Gopher values</h2>
- <p>
- These are the values to which people in the Go community (“Gophers”) should aspire.
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li>Be friendly and welcoming
- <li>Be patient
- <ul>
- <li>Remember that people have varying communication styles and that not
- everyone is using their native language.
- (Meaning and tone can be lost in translation.)
- </ul>
- <li>Be thoughtful
- <ul>
- <li>Productive communication requires effort.
- Think about how your words will be interpreted.
- <li>Remember that sometimes it is best to refrain entirely from commenting.
- </ul>
- <li>Be respectful
- <ul>
- <li>In particular, respect differences of opinion.
- </ul>
- <li>Be charitable
- <ul>
- <li>Interpret the arguments of others in good faith, do not seek to disagree.
- <li>When we do disagree, try to understand why.
- </ul>
- <li>Avoid destructive behavior:
- <ul>
- <li>Derailing: stay on topic; if you want to talk about something else,
- start a new conversation.
- <li>Unconstructive criticism: don't merely decry the current state of affairs;
- offer—or at least solicit—suggestions as to how things may be improved.
- <li>Snarking (pithy, unproductive, sniping comments)
- <li>Discussing potentially offensive or sensitive issues;
- this all too often leads to unnecessary conflict.
- <li>Microaggressions: brief and commonplace verbal, behavioral and
- environmental indignities that communicate hostile, derogatory or negative
- slights and insults to a person or group.
- </ul>
- </ul>
- <p>
- 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 <i>all parties</i> to de-escalate conflict when it arises.
- </p>
- <h2 id="code">Code of Conduct</h2>
- <h3 id="our-pledge">Our Pledge</h3>
- <p>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.</p>
- <h3 id="our-standards">Our Standards</h3>
- <p>Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
- include:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Using welcoming and inclusive language</li>
- <li>Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences</li>
- <li>Gracefully accepting constructive criticism</li>
- <li>Focusing on what is best for the community</li>
- <li>Showing empathy towards other community members</li>
- </ul>
- <p>Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
- advances</li>
- <li>Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks</li>
- <li>Public or private harassment</li>
- <li>Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic
- address, without explicit permission</li>
- <li>Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
- professional setting</li>
- </ul>
- <h3 id="our-responsibilities">Our Responsibilities</h3>
- <p>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.</p>
- <p>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.</p>
- <h3 id="scope">Scope</h3>
- <p>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.</p>
- <p>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.</p>
- <h3 id="conflict-resolution"></a>Conflict Resolution</h3>
- <p>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.</p>
- <p>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.</p>
- <p id="reporting">Reports should be directed to Cassandra Salisbury, the
- Go Project Steward, at <i>conduct@golang.org</i>.
- 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 <i>opensource@google.com</i>.</p>
- <p>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.</p>
