Node.js Inclusivity WG
This CoC is an adaptation of the npm Code of Conduct.
The Node.js Inclusivity Working Group exists to improve inclusivity and diversity in the Node.js project and surrounding community.
We believe that our mission is best served in an environment that is friendly, safe, and accepting; free from intimidation or harassment.
Towards this end, certain behaviors and practices will not be tolerated.
- Be respectful.
- Abusive behavior is never tolerated.
- Violations of this code may result in swift and permanent expulsion from the Node.js inclusivity working group and/or escalation to the Node.js moderation group and TSC
This policy covers behavior within the context of the Node.js Inclusivity Working Group. It is expected that all Working Group members, Node.js community members, and commenters participating in Inclusivity Working Group affairs abide by this Code of Conduct at all times in all public or private venues.
The definitions of various subjective terms such as "discriminatory", "hateful", or "confusing" will be decided at the sole discretion of the Node.js Inclusivity Working Group team members.
Working Group members 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.
By adopting this Code of Conduct, Working Group members commit themselves to fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of managing this project. Working Group members who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct may be permanently removed from the Working Group.
We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, ethnicity, religion or lack thereof, age, physical appearance, body size, race, or similar personal characteristics.
Any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting, or other attention-stealing behavior is not welcome, and will not be tolerated.
Harassing other Working Group participants is never tolerated, whether via public or private media.
Avoid using offensive or harassing names, nicknames, or other identifiers that might detract from a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all.
Harassment includes, but is not limited to: harmful or prejudicial verbal or written comments related to gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, ethnicity, religion or lack thereof, age, physical appearance, body size, race, or similar personal characteristics; inappropriate use of nudity, sexual images, and/or sexually explicit language in public spaces; threats of physical or non-physical harm; deliberate intimidation, stalking or following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention.
If you believe someone is harassing you or has otherwise violated this Code of Conduct, please contact us at inclusivity@nodejs.org to send us an abuse report. If this is the initial report of a problem, please include as much detail as possible. The more context we have, the better we can assess and resolve the situation.
All participation in this Working Group is at the sole discretion of the Working Group members.
Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately.
If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the Working Group members may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community without warning.
If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating this Code of Conduct, you should notify the Working Group by emailing us at inclusivity@nodejs.org. We will do our best to ensure that your grievance is handled appropriately.
In general, we will choose the course of action that we judge as being most in the interest of fostering a safe and friendly community.
Please contact inclusivity@nodejs.org if you need to report a problem or address a grievance related to an abuse report.
You are also encouraged to contact us if you are unsure if something is appropriate or inappropriate. We are happy to provide guidance to help you be a successful part of our community.
