Code of Conduct

Adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 2.1. Read the original.

Our pledge

We as members, contributors and leaders pledge to make participation in Open Context Guild a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, colour, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive and healthy community.

Our standards

Examples of behaviour that contributes to a positive environment: demonstrating empathy and kindness; being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints and experiences; giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback; accepting responsibility and apologising to those affected by our mistakes; focusing on what is best for the overall community.

Examples of unacceptable behaviour: sexualised language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention; trolling, insulting or derogatory comments and personal or political attacks; public or private harassment; publishing others' private information without explicit permission; other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting.

Enforcement responsibilities

Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behaviour they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive or harmful.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.

Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing or otherwise unacceptable behaviour may be reported to the community leaders at info@opencontextguild.org. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly. Community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.

Enforcement guidelines

1. Correction — a private, written warning with clarity about the nature of the violation.

2. Warning — a warning with consequences for continued behaviour; no interaction with the people involved for a specified period.

3. Temporary ban — a temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public communication with the community.

4. Permanent ban — a permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the community.
