Zulip Code of Conduct

Our Commitment

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers are committed to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Our Standards

Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:

  • Using welcoming and inclusive language
  • Being friendly and patient
  • Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences, and trying to understand other people's points of view
  • Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
  • Focusing on what is best for the community
  • Showing empathy towards other community members
  • Assuming other community members have good intentions, and treating them with respect and patience accordingly.
  • Respecting the time and attention of others, in particular:
    • Including tracebacks, any changes you've made, and other relevant details in bug/error reports.
    • Asking broadly relevant questions in public forums, rather than sending private messages to individuals, so that the first available expert can answer, and the answers are available to the whole community.

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

  • The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
  • Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
  • Public or private harassment
  • Criticism of contributions which is not constructive, which occurs outside project channels or which is repetitive
  • Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address without explicit permission

We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone. That is not welcome behavior.

Responsibilities of Project Maintainers

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

Project maintainers 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, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of project spaces include mailing lists, chat.zulip.org, GitHub and in code. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.

Enforcement

To report code of conduct violations or concerns, please contact zulip-code-of-conduct@googlegroups.com immediately. Whether you're a regular contributor or a newcomer, we care about making this community a safer place for you and we've got your back.

We encourage anyone who observes abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior to report that by emailing zulip-code-of-conduct@googlegroups.com. All reports will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances by the project maintainers. The project team will keep confidential the details of the reporter when possible.

Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the project's leadership.
