Code of Conduct

Our Pledge

We pledge to make the Bòcan community welcoming, safe, and equitable for all.

We are committed to fostering an environment that respects and promotes the dignity, rights, and contributions of all individuals, regardless of characteristics including race, ethnicity, caste, colour, age, physical characteristics, neurodiversity, disability, sex or gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, language, philosophy or religion, national or social origin, socio-economic position, level of education, or other status. The same privileges of participation are extended to everyone who participates in good faith and in accordance with this Code of Conduct.

Encouraged Behaviours

While acknowledging differences in social norms, we all strive to meet this community's expectations for positive behaviour. We also understand that our words and actions may be interpreted differently than we intend based on culture, background, or native language.

With these considerations in mind, we agree to behave mindfully toward each other and act in ways that centre our shared values, including:

  1. Respecting the purpose of this community, our activities, and our ways of gathering.
  2. Engaging kindly and honestly with others.
  3. Respecting different viewpoints and experiences.
  4. Taking responsibility for our actions and contributions.
  5. Gracefully giving and accepting constructive feedback.
  6. Committing to repairing harm when it occurs.
  7. Behaving in other ways that promote and sustain the well-being of this community.

Restricted Behaviours

We agree to restrict the following behaviours in this community. Instances, threats, and promotion of these behaviours are violations of this Code of Conduct.

  1. Harassment. Violating explicitly expressed boundaries or engaging in unnecessary personal attention after any clear request to stop.
  2. Character attacks. Making insulting, demeaning, or pejorative comments directed at a community member or group of people.
  3. Stereotyping or discrimination. Characterising anyone's personality or behaviour on the basis of immutable identities or traits.
  4. Sexualisation. Behaving in a way that would generally be considered inappropriately intimate in the context or purpose of this community.
  5. Violating confidentiality. Sharing or acting on someone's personal or private information without their permission.
  6. Endangerment. Causing, encouraging, or threatening violence or other harm toward any person or group.
  7. Misleading identity. Impersonating someone else for any reason, or pretending to be someone else to evade enforcement actions.
  8. Failing to credit sources. Not properly crediting the sources of content you contribute.
  9. Promotional materials. Sharing marketing or other commercial content outside the norms of this community.
  10. Irresponsible communication. Failing to responsibly present content that includes, links to, or describes any other restricted behaviour.
  11. Behaving in other ways that threaten the well-being of this community.

Reporting an Issue

Tensions can occur between community members even when they are trying their best to collaborate. Not every conflict represents a Code of Conduct violation, and this Code of Conduct reinforces encouraged behaviours and norms that can help avoid conflicts and minimise harm.

When an incident does occur, it is important to report it promptly. To report a possible violation, contact the maintainer at chris@funderburg.me.

The maintainer takes reports of violations seriously and will make every effort to respond in a timely manner, investigating all reports by reviewing messages, logs, and recordings as appropriate. The maintainer will keep investigation and enforcement actions as transparent as possible while prioritising safety and confidentiality. Enforcement actions are carried out in private with the involved parties.

Addressing and Repairing Harm

If an investigation finds that this Code of Conduct has been violated, the following enforcement ladder may be used to determine how best to repair harm, based on the incident's impact on the individuals involved and the community as a whole. Depending on the severity of a violation, lower rungs on the ladder may be skipped.

  1. Warning

    • Event: A violation involving a single incident or series of incidents.
    • Consequence: A private, written warning from the maintainer.
    • Repair: Examples of repair include a private written apology, acknowledgement of responsibility, and seeking clarification on expectations.

  2. Temporarily Limited Activities

    • Event: A repeated violation that previously resulted in a warning, or the first incidence of a more serious violation.
    • Consequence: A private, written warning with a time-limited cooldown period. The cooldown may be limited to particular communication channels or interactions with particular community members.
    • Repair: Examples of repair may include making an apology, using the cooldown period to reflect on actions and impact, and being thoughtful about re-entering community spaces after the period is over.

  3. Temporary Suspension

    • Event: A pattern of repeated violation which the maintainer has tried to address with warnings, or a single serious violation.
    • Consequence: A private written warning with conditions for return from suspension, giving the person time to reflect upon their behaviour and possible corrective actions.
    • Repair: Examples of repair include respecting the spirit of the suspension, meeting the specified conditions for return, and being thoughtful about how to reintegrate with the community when the suspension is lifted.

  4. Permanent Ban

    • Event: A pattern of repeated violations that other steps on the ladder have failed to resolve, or a violation so serious that the maintainer determines there is no way to keep the community safe with this person as a member.
    • Consequence: Access to all community spaces, tools, and communication channels is removed.
    • Repair: There is no possible repair in cases of this severity.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces — GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, and any other official channel — and also applies when an individual is officially representing the project in public spaces.
