| 7 | +# Adafruit Community Code of Conduct |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Our Pledge |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as |
| 12 | +contributors and leaders pledge to making participation in our project and |
| 13 | +our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body |
| 14 | +size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level or type of |
| 15 | +experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, |
| 16 | +race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation. |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## Our Standards |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for |
| 21 | +all. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Examples of behavior that contributes to creating and maintaining a positive environment |
| 24 | +include: |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +* Be kind and courteous to others |
| 27 | +* Using welcoming and inclusive language |
| 28 | +* Respecting the identity of every community member, including asking for their |
| 29 | + pronouns if uncertain |
| 30 | +* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences |
| 31 | +* Collaborating with other community members |
| 32 | +* Providing desired assistance and knowledge to other community members |
| 33 | +* Being open to new information and ideas |
| 34 | +* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism |
| 35 | +* Focusing on what is best for the community |
| 36 | +* Showing empathy towards other community members |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +Examples of unacceptable behavior by community members include: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +* The use of sexualized language or imagery and sexual attention or advances |
| 41 | +* The use of inappropriate images, including in a community member's avatar |
| 42 | +* The use of inappropriate language or profanity, including in a community member's nickname |
| 43 | +* Any spamming, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing behavior |
| 44 | +* Excessive or unwelcome helping; answering outside the scope of the question |
| 45 | + asked |
| 46 | +* Discussion or promotion of activities or projects that intend or pose a risk of |
| 47 | + significant harm |
| 48 | +* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and attacks of any nature (including, |
| 49 | + but not limited to, personal or political attacks) |
| 50 | +* Promoting or spreading disinformation, lies, or conspiracy theories against |
| 51 | + a person, group, organisation, project, or community |
| 52 | +* Public or private harassment |
| 53 | +* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic |
| 54 | + address, without explicit permission |
| 55 | +* Engaging in behavior that creates an unwelcoming or uninclusive environment |
| 56 | +* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +The Adafruit Community welcomes everyone and strives to create a safe space for all. It is built |
| 59 | +around sharing and contributing to technology. We encourage discussing your thoughts, experiences, |
| 60 | +and feelings within the scope of the community. However, there are topics that can sometimes stray |
| 61 | +from that scope, and can lead to hurting others and create an unwelcoming, uninclusive environment. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Examples of discussion topics that have been known to stray outside the scope of the Adafruit |
| 64 | +Community include, but are not limited to: |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +* Discussions regarding religion and related topics |
| 67 | +* Discussions regarding politics and related topics |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +The goal of the standards and moderation guidelines outlined here is to build |
| 70 | +and maintain a respectful community. We ask that you don’t just aim to be |
| 71 | +"technically unimpeachable", but rather try to be your best self. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +We value many things beyond technical expertise, including collaboration and |
| 74 | +supporting others within our community. Providing a positive experience for |
| 75 | +other community members can have a much more significant impact than simply |
| 76 | +providing the correct answer. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +## Our Responsibilities |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +Project leaders are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable |
| 81 | +behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in |
| 82 | +response to any instances of unacceptable behavior. |
| 83 | + |
| 84 | +Project leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or |
| 85 | +reject messages, comments, commits, code, issues, and other contributions |
| 86 | +that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or |
| 87 | +permanently any community member for other behaviors that they deem |
| 88 | +inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful. |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +## Moderation |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +Instances of behaviors that violate the Adafruit Community Code of Conduct |
| 93 | +may be reported by any member of the community. Community members are |
| 94 | +encouraged to report these situations, including situations they witness |
| 95 | +involving other community members. |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +You may report in the following ways: |
| 98 | + |
| 99 | +In any situation, you may email <[email protected]>. |
| 100 | + |
| 101 | +On the Adafruit Discord, you may send an open message from any channel |
| 102 | +to all Community Moderators by tagging @community moderators. You may |
| 103 | +also send an open message from the #help-with-community channel, or a |
| 104 | +direct message to any Community Moderator. |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +The source of email and direct message reports will be kept confidential. |
| 107 | + |
| 108 | +In situations on Discord where the issue is particularly offensive, possibly |
| 109 | +illegal, requires immediate action, or violates the Discord terms of service, |
| 110 | +you should also report the message directly to [Discord](https://discord.com/safety). |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +These are the steps for upholding our community’s standards of conduct. |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +1. Any member of the community may report any situation that violates the |
| 115 | + Adafruit Community Code of Conduct. All reports will be reviewed and |
| 116 | + investigated. |
| 117 | +2. If the behavior is a severe violation, the community member who |
| 118 | + committed the violation may be banned immediately, without warning. |
| 119 | +3. Otherwise, moderators will first respond to such behavior with a warning. |
| 120 | +4. Moderators follow a soft "three strikes" policy - the community member may |
| 121 | + be given another chance, if they are receptive to the warning and change their |
| 122 | + behavior. |
| 123 | +5. If the community member is unreceptive or unreasonable when warned by a |
| 124 | + moderator, or the warning goes unheeded, they may be banned for a first or |
| 125 | + second offense. Repeated offenses will result in the community member being |
| 126 | + banned. |
| 127 | +6. Disciplinary actions (warnings, bans, etc) for Code of Conduct violations apply |
| 128 | + to the platform where the violation occurred. However, depending on the severity |
| 129 | + of the violation, the disciplinary action may be applied across Adafruit's other |
| 130 | + community platforms. For example, a severe violation on the Adafruit Discord |
| 131 | + server may result in a ban on not only the Adafruit Discord server, but also on |
| 132 | + the Adafruit GitHub organisation, Adafruit Forums, Adafruit Twitter, etc. |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +## Scope |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +This Code of Conduct and the enforcement policies listed above apply to all |
| 137 | +Adafruit Community venues. This includes but is not limited to any community |
| 138 | +spaces (both public and private), the entire Adafruit Discord server, and |
| 139 | +Adafruit GitHub repositories. Examples of Adafruit Community spaces include |
| 140 | +but are not limited to meet-ups, audio chats on the Adafruit Discord, or |
| 141 | +interaction at a conference. |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces |
| 144 | +when an individual is representing the project or its community. As a community |
| 145 | +member, you are representing our community, and are expected to behave |
| 146 | +accordingly. |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +## Attribution |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/), |
| 151 | +version 1.4, available on [contributor-covenant.org](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html), |
| 152 | +and the [Rust Code of Conduct](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/conduct.html). |
| 153 | + |
| 154 | +For other projects adopting the Adafruit Community Code of |
| 155 | +Conduct, please contact the maintainers of those projects for enforcement. |
| 156 | +If you wish to use this code of conduct for your own project, consider |
| 157 | +explicitly mentioning your moderation policy or making a copy with your |
| 158 | +own moderation policy so as to avoid confusion. |
