Like the technical community as a whole, the Sphinx team and community is made
|
||
up of volunteers from all over the world.
|
||
Diversity is a strength, but it can also lead to communication issues and
|
||
unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to
|
||
adhere to.
|
||
|
||
* **Be friendly and patient.**
|
||
|
||
* **Be welcoming.**
|
||
We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all
|
||
backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of
|
||
any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status,
|
||
social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender
|
||
identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion,
|
||
and mental and physical ability.
|
||
|
||
* **Be considerate.**
|
||
Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the
|
||
work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and
|
||
you should take those consequences into account when making decisions.
|
||
Remember that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating
|
||
in someone else's primary language.
|
||
|
||
* **Be respectful.**
|
||
Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor
|
||
behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and
|
||
then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack.
|
||
It’s important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or
|
||
threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Sphinx community should be
|
||
respectful when dealing with other members as well as with people outside the
|
||
Sphinx community.
|
||
|
||
* **Be careful in the words that you choose.**
|
||
We are a community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally.
|
||
Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment
|
||
and other exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not
|
||
limited to:
|
||
|
||
* Violent threats or language directed against another person.
|
||
|
||
* Discriminatory jokes and language.
|
||
|
||
* Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
|
||
|
||
* Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying
|
||
information ("doxing").
|
||
|
||
* Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
|
||
|
||
* Unwelcome sexual attention.
|
||
|
||
* Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
|
||
|
||
* Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then
|
||
stop.
|
||
|
||
* **When we disagree, try to understand why.**
|
||
Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and Sphinx is no
|
||
exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views
|
||
constructively. Remember that we’re different. Different people have different
|
||
perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a
|
||
viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to
|
||
err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping
|
||
to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
|
||
|
||
This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you can’t do.
|
||
Rather, take it in the spirit in which it’s intended - a guide to make it easier
|
||
to enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate.
|
||
This code of conduct applies to all spaces of the Sphinx community.
