This is a compilation of what I consider the key points from the
[Mozilla](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/participation/),
[Jupyter](https://github.com/jupyter/governance/blob/master/conduct/code_of_conduct.md),
and [Ubuntu](https://www.ubuntu.com/community/code-of-conduct) community
guidelines. This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather,
it aims to provide general guidelines for successfully conducting collaborative
work in an exciting and fun environment. Please report unacceptable behavior
by [opening a confidential
issue](https://git.gutta.com/help/user/project/issues/confidential_issues.md).
- **Be welcoming, friendly, and patient.**
- We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all
backgrounds and identities. Remember that you can interact with people
from all over the world and that you may be communicating with someone
with a different primary language or cultural background.
- **Be direct and respectful.**
- We must be able to speak directly when we disagree and when we think we
need to improve. We cannot withhold hard truths. Doing so respectfully
is hard, doing so when others don’t seem to be listening is harder, and
hearing such comments when one is the recipient can be even harder
still. We need to be honest and direct, as well as respectful
- **Understand and learn from disagreement and different perspectives.**
- Our goal should not be to personally “win” every disagreement or
argument. Value discussion and be open to ideas that make our own ideas
better, while also making sure to speak up when and we disagree with an
idea and explain why. 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, rather offer
to help resolving issues and to help learn from mistakes. Have
a dialectic, not a debate. Actual winning is when different perspectives
make our work richer and stronger.
- **Lead by example.**
- By matching your actions with your words, you become a person others want
to follow. Your actions influence others to behave and respond in ways
that are valuable and appropriate for our organizational outcomes. Design
your community and your work for inclusion. Hold yourself and others
accountable for inclusive behaviors.
- **Ask for help when unsure.**
- Nobody is expected to be perfect. Asking questions early avoids many
problems later, so questions are encouraged, though they may be directed
to the appropriate forum. Those who are asked should be responsive and
helpful.
- **Give people the benefit of the doubt.**
- Ask for clarification instead of jumping to conclusions.
- **A simple apology can go a long way.**
- It can often de-escalate a situation, and telling someone that you are
sorry is an act of empathy that doesn’t automatically imply an admission
of guilt.
- **Be considerate in the words that you choose.**
- Do not insult or put down other community members. Harassment and other
exclusionary behavior are not acceptable. This includes, but is not
limited to
- Violent threats or violent 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.
