Community Code of Conduct -------------------------- +========================= -Ansible’s community welcomes users of all types, backgrounds, and skill levels. Please treat others as you expect to be treated, -keep discussions positive, and avoid discrimination of all kinds, profanity, allegations of Cthulhu worship, or engaging in -controversial debates (except vi vs emacs is cool). +Every community can be strengthened by a diverse variety of viewpoints, insights, +opinions, skillsets, and skill levels. However, with diversity comes the potential for +disagreement and miscommunication. The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to ensure that +disagreements and differences of opinion are conducted respectfully and on their own +merits, without personal attacks or other behavior that might create an unsafe or +unwelcoming environment. -The same expectations apply to community events as they do to online interactions. +These policies are not designed to be a comprehensive set of Things You Cannot Do. We ask +that you treat your fellow community members with respect and courtesy, and in general, +Don't Be A Jerk. This Code of Conduct is meant to be followed in spirit as much as in +letter and is not exhaustive. -Posts to mailing lists should remain focused around Ansible and IT automation. Abuse of these community guidelines will not be -tolerated and may result in banning from community resources. +All Ansible events and participants therein are governed by this Code of Conduct and +anti-harassment policy. We expect organizers to enforce these guidelines throughout all events, +and we expect attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers to help ensure a safe +environment for our whole community. Specifically, this Code of Conduct covers +participation in all Ansible-related forums and mailing lists, code and documentation +contributions, public IRC channels, private correspondence, and public meetings. +Ansible community members are... + +**Considerate** + +Contributions of every kind have far-ranging consequences. Just as your work depends on +the work of others, decisions you make surrounding your contributions to the Ansible +community will affect your fellow community members. You are strongly encouraged to take +those consequences into account while making decisions. + +**Patient** + +Asynchronous communication can come with its own frustrations, even in the most responsive +of communities. Please remember that our community is largely built on volunteered time, +and that questions, contributions, and requests for support may take some time to receive +a response. Repeated "bumps" or "reminders" in rapid succession are not good displays of +patience. Additionally, it is considered poor manners to ping a specific person with +general questions. Pose your question to the community as a whole, and wait patiently for +a response. + +**Respectful** + +Every community inevitably has disagreements, but remember that it is +possible to disagree respectfully and courteously. Disagreements are never an excuse for +rudeness, hostility, threatening behavior, abuse (verbal or physical), or personal attacks. + +**Kind** + +Everyone should feel welcome in the Ansible community, regardless of their background. +Please be courteous, respectful and polite to fellow community members. Do not make or +post offensive comments related to skill level, gender, gender identity or expression, +sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. +Sexualized images or imagery, real or implied violence, intimidation, oppression, +stalking, sustained disruption of activities, publishing the personal information of +others without explicit permission to do so, unwanted physical contact, and unwelcome +sexual attention are all strictly prohibited. Additionally, you are encouraged not to +make assumptions about the background or identity of your fellow community members. + +**Inquisitive** + +The only stupid question is the one that does not get asked. We +encourage our users to ask early and ask often. Rather than asking whether you can ask a +question (the answer is always yes!), instead, simply ask your question. You are +encouraged to provide as many specifics as possible. Code snippets in the form of Gists or +other paste site links are almost always needed in order to get the most helpful answers. +Refrain from pasting multiple lines of code directly into the IRC channels - instead use +gist.github.com or another paste site to provide code snippets. + +**Helpful** + +The Ansible community is committed to being a welcoming environment for all users, +regardless of skill level. We were all beginners once upon a time, and our community +cannot grow without an environment where new users feel safe and comfortable asking questions. +It can become frustrating to answer the same questions repeatedly; however, community +members are expected to remain courteous and helpful to all users equally, regardless of +skill or knowledge level. Avoid providing responses that prioritize snideness and snark over +useful information. At the same time, everyone is expected to read the provided +documentation thoroughly. We are happy to answer questions, provide strategic guidance, +and suggest effective workflows, but we are not here to do your job for you. + +Anti-harassment policy +---------------------- +Harassment includes (but is not limited to) all of the following behaviors: + +- Offensive comments related to gender (including gender expression and identity), age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, and religion +- Derogatory terminology including words commonly known to be slurs +- Posting sexualized images or imagery in public spaces +- Deliberate intimidation +- Stalking +- Posting others' personal information without explicit permission +- Sustained disruption of talks or other events +- Inappropriate physical contact +- Unwelcome sexual attention + +Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. +Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should +not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Meetup organizing staff and +other volunteer organizers should not use sexualized attire or otherwise create a +sexualized environment at community events. + +In addition to the behaviors outlined above, continuing to behave a certain way after you +have been asked to stop also constitutes harassment, even if that behavior is not +specifically outlined in this policy. It is considerate and respectful to stop doing +something after you have been asked to stop, and all community members are expected to +comply with such requests immediately. + +Policy violations +----------------- +Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by +contacting codeofconduct@ansible.com, to any channel operator in the community IRC +channels, or to the local organizers of an event. Meetup organizers are encouraged to +prominently display points of contact for reporting unacceptable behavior at local events. + +If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the meetup organizers may take any action +they deem appropriate. These actions may include but are not limited to warning the +offender, expelling the offender from the event, and barring the offender from future +community events. + +Organizers will be happy to help participants contact security or local law enforcement, +provide escorts to an alternate location, or otherwise assist those experiencing +harassment to feel safe for the duration of the meetup. We value the safety and well-being +of our community members and want everyone to feel welcome at our events, both online and +offline. + +We expect all participants, organizers, speakers, and attendees to follow these policies at +our all of our event venues and event-related social events. + +The Ansible Community Code of Conduct is licensed under the Creative Commons +Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license.
