In line with the leadership principle, project leaders have the responsibility to clarify and interpret the mission, as well as the intentions and standards in this code of conduct, in order to maintain mission focus. When individuals engage in prohibited behavior, project leaders are expected to take expedient, fair, and appropriate action to address the violation(s). The standards and prohibitions in this document also apply to project leaders.
We highly encourage contributors to resolve conflicts by directly reaching out to the other party or parties involved in the dispute. When this is insufficient, members can report the issue to project leaders via email at [email protected] within 31 days of the inciting event and request a formal resolution.
Project leaders will make reasonable efforts to adjudicate incidents shortly after they are brought to their attention.
Project leaders shall take all reasonable actions to ensure the successful execution of the mission statement and the maximum effectiveness of the project.
All material in official project spaces is subject to the code of conduct, and as such, can be deleted, modified, or rejected by project leaders if it is found to be in violation of the code of conduct. In repeated or severe cases, project leaders may exclude individuals from further contribution to the project on a temporary or permanent basis.
This code of conduct applies to official project spaces, which include but are not limited to: social media, conferences, code repositories, and discussion boards. This code of conduct also applies to members and contributors who represent the project in non-project spaces, such as when contributors give a talk on behalf of the project at a conference. In official spaces, members and contributors should operate with decorum that reflects positively on the project, its objectives, and its community.
