We as members of the group and contributors pledge to make participation in our community 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 environment.
Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our group include:
- Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
- Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
- Accepting responsibility and apologizing 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 group
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
- 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
All group members are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
Group members 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, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.
This Code of Conduct applies within all group spaces (eg. 3rd party communication channels), and also applies when an individual is officially representing the group in at university and in other public spaces. Examples of representing our group include presenting, attending lectures, or acting as an appointed representative when talking to others. Outside of these scenarios, anything may be deemed 'representing' by the group members, and if brought to the attention of the group, will result in enforcement being applied.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to group members responsible for enforcement at [email protected], or privately to a group member or course co-ordinator. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
All parties involved are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.
