# Zulip Code of Conduct
|
|
|
|
Like the technical community as a whole, the Zulip team and community is
|
|
made up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers from all over the
|
|
world, working on every aspect of the mission, including mentorship,
|
|
teaching, and connecting people.
|
|
|
|
Diversity is one of our huge strengths, 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. This code applies equally to
|
|
founders, 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.
|
|
|
|
## Expected Behavior
|
|
|
|
The following behaviors are expected and requested of all community members:
|
|
|
|
* Participate. In doing so, you contribute to the health and longevity of
|
|
the community.
|
|
* Exercise consideration and respect in your speech and actions.
|
|
* Attempt collaboration before conflict. Assume good faith.
|
|
* Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech.
|
|
* Take action or alert community leaders if you notice a dangerous
|
|
situation, someone in distress, or violations of this code, even if they
|
|
seem inconsequential.
|
|
* Community event venues may be shared with members of the public; be
|
|
respectful to all patrons of these locations.
|
|
|
|
## Unacceptable Behavior
|
|
|
|
The following behaviors are considered harassment and are unacceptable
|
|
within the Zulip community:
|
|
|
|
* Jokes or derogatory language that singles out members of any race,
|
|
ethnicity, culture, national origin, color, immigration status, social and
|
|
economic class, educational level, language proficiency, sex, sexual
|
|
orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status,
|
|
political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
|
|
* Violence, threats of violence, or violent language directed against
|
|
another person.
|
|
* Disseminating or threatening to disseminate another person's personal
|
|
information.
|
|
* Personal insults of any sort.
|
|
* Posting or displaying sexually explicit or violent material.
|
|
* Inappropriate photography or recording.
|
|
* Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following (online or in person).
|
|
* Unwelcome sexual attention. This includes sexualized comments or jokes,
|
|
inappropriate touching or groping, and unwelcomed sexual advances.
|
|
* Sustained disruption of community events, including talks and
|
|
presentations.
|
|
* Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the behaviors above.
|
|
|
|
## Reporting and Enforcement
|
|
|
|
Harassment and other code of conduct violations reduce the value of the
|
|
community for everyone. If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or
|
|
unwelcome, please report it to the community organizers at
|
|
zulip-code-of-conduct@googlegroups.com as soon as possible. You can make a
|
|
report either personally or anonymously.
|
|
|
|
If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the community
|
|
organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including a
|
|
temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community without warning (and
|
|
without refund in the case of a paid event).
|
|
|
|
If someone outside the development community (e.g. a user of the Zulip
|
|
software) engages in unacceptable behavior that affects someone in the
|
|
community, we still want to know. Even if we don't have direct control over
|
|
the violator, the community organizers can still support the people
|
|
affected, reduce the chance of a similar violation in the future, and take
|
|
any direct action we can.
|
|
|
|
The nature of reporting means it can only help after the fact. If you see
|
|
something you can do while a violation is happening, do it. A lot of the
|
|
harms of harassment and other violations can be mitigated by the victim
|
|
knowing that the other people present are on their side.
|
|
|
|
All reports will be kept confidential. In some cases we may determine that a
|
|
public statement will need to be made. In such cases, the identities of all
|
|
victims and reporters will remain confidential unless those individuals
|
|
instruct us otherwise.
|
|
|
|
## Scope
|
|
|
|
We expect all community participants (contributors, paid or otherwise,
|
|
sponsors, and other guests) to abide by this Code of Conduct in all
|
|
community venues, online and in-person, as well as in all private
|
|
communications pertaining to community business.
|
|
|
|
This Code of Conduct and its related procedures also applies to unacceptable
|
|
behavior occurring outside the scope of community activities when such
|
|
behavior has the potential to adversely affect the safety and well-being of
|
|
community members.
