To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask +people to adhere to. This code applies equally to contributors, mentors, +and those seeking help and guidance. + +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 managed by the Ilios project. +This includes the Slack workspace, the mailing lists, the issue tracker, +events, and any other forums created by the project team which the community +uses for communication. In addition, violations of this code outside +these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them. + +If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you +report it by emailing +[conduct@iliosproject.org](mailto:conduct@iliosproject.org). + + +- **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 Ilios + community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with + people outside the Ilios 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 Ilios is no exception. It is important that + we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we’re + different. The strength of Ilios comes from its varied community, people from a + wide range of backgrounds. 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 text is an adoption of the Code of Conduct provided by the +[Django Software Foundation](https://www.djangoproject.com/conduct/). + +## Questions? +If you have questions, feel free to [contact us](mailto:info@iliosproject.org). + +## License + +All content on this page is licensed under a [Creative Commons Attribution](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/) license. + +![CC-by](https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/3.0/88x31.png)
