# Code of Conduct

## Our Pledge

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as

contributors and maintainers pledge 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, education, socio-economic status, 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 respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences

* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism

* Focusing on what is best for the community

* Showing empathy towards other community members

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

* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic

address, without explicit permission

* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a

professional setting

## Our Responsibilities

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

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. Representation of a project may be

further defined and clarified by project maintainers.

This Code of Conduct also applies outside the project spaces when the Project

Steward has a reasonable belief that an individual's behavior may have a

negative impact on the project or its community.

## Conflict Resolution

We do not believe that all conflict is bad; healthy debate and disagreement

often yield positive results. However, it is never okay to be disrespectful or

to engage in behavior that violates the project’s code of conduct.

If you see someone violating the code of conduct, you are encouraged to address

the behavior directly with those involved. Many issues can be resolved quickly

and easily, and this gives people more control over the outcome of their

dispute. If you are unable to resolve the matter for any reason, or if the

behavior is threatening or harassing, report it. We are dedicated to providing

an environment where participants feel welcome and safe.

Reports should be directed to *[PROJECT STEWARD NAME(s) AND EMAIL(s)]*, the

Project Steward(s) for *[PROJECT NAME]*. It is the Project Steward’s duty to

receive and address reported violations of the code of conduct. They will then

work with a committee consisting of representatives from the Open Source

Programs Office and the Google Open Source Strategy team. If for any reason you

are uncomfortable reaching out to the Project Steward, please email

[email protected].

We will investigate every complaint, but you may not receive a direct response.

We will use our discretion in determining when and how to follow up on reported

incidents, which may range from not taking action to permanent expulsion from

the project and project-sponsored spaces. We will notify the accused of the

report and provide them an opportunity to discuss it before any action is taken.

The identity of the reporter will be omitted from the details of the report

supplied to the accused. In potentially harmful situations, such as ongoing

harassment or threats to anyone's safety, we may take action without notice.
