To support a welcoming environment +for all, regardless of individual differences, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to when they +participate in this community. These rules apply equally to founders, organizers, contributors, users and affiliates — +in short, to all participants. + +This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you must do, or can’t do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it’s +intended. It’s a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate, and +which we represent. + +## Our Pledge + +We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for +everyone, regardless of background or identity. This includes, but is not limited to, members of any race, ethnicity, +culture, national origin, color, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual +orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, level of experience, +and mental or physical ability. + +We pledge to be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and +poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a +personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a +productive one. Members of the PyQtGraph community should be respectful when dealing with each other as well as with +people outside the community. + +We pledge to be welcoming, supportive, kind and professional. We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to +an open, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community. We pledge not insult or put down other participants, individually or +as a group. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren’t acceptable. + +## Examples + +Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include: + +* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people +* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences +* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback +* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience +* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community + +Examples of unacceptable behavior include: + +* Violent threats or 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. +* Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop. +* Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior. + +## Where does this code of conduct apply + +This Code of Conduct applies within all online community spaces, official organized meetups, and when an individual is +officially representing the community in public spaces, online or offline. + +## What to do in case of violations + +If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you report it by contacting any of the following +individuals, being sure to include mention of your message being about a "PyQtGraph conduct violation": + +* Ognyan Moore @j9ac9k +* Martin Chase @outofculture +* Nathan Jessurun @ntjess + +All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly. All reports will be kept confidential. In some +cases, we may determine that a public statement will need to be made. If that’s the case, the identities of all victims +and reporters will remain confidential unless those individuals instruct us otherwise. + +If you believe anyone is in physical danger, please notify appropriate law enforcement first. If you are unsure which +law enforcement agency is appropriate, please include this in your report and we will attempt to notify them. + +### What to include in the report + +* Your contact information (so we can get in touch with you if we need to follow up) +* Names of any individuals involved (real names, nicknames, or pseudonyms). If there were other witnesses besides you, + please try to include them as well. +* When and where the incident occurred. Please be as specific as possible. +* Your account of what occurred. If there is a publicly available record (e.g., a mailing list archive or a public chat + logger) please include a link. Our Slack is currently on a free plan that does not retain more than 10,000 messages of + history, if an incident occurred on Slack please take a screenshot so it is not lost. +* Any extra context you believe existed for the incident. +* Whether you believe this incident is ongoing. +* Any other information you believe we should have. + +## Enforcement Responsibilities + +Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take +appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, +or harmful. + +Community leaders 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, and will communicate reasons for +moderation decisions when appropriate. This removal should be as transparent as possible, with information available in +the same scope of context as the original moderated content, linking to an incident report, the acting moderators, +and/or this document as appropriate. + +All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident. + +Upon receiving a report of misconduct, the staff must review the incident and determine the following: + +* What happened. +* Whether this event constitutes a code of conduct violation. +* Who the bad actor(s) was. +* Whether this is an ongoing situation. +* If any previous disiplinary measures are relevent and in effect. +* If there is a threat to anyone’s physical safety. +* What impact this has had on the community. + +After the conduct committee has a complete account of the events they need to make a decision as to how to resolve the +case. Resolutions might include: + +* Nothing (if we determine no violation occurred). +* A private reprimand from the staff to the individual(s) involved, providing clarity around the nature of the + violation, and an explanation of why the behavior was inappropriate. +* A request for a public or private apology. +* A public reprimand. +* An imposed vacation (for example, asking someone to "take a week off" from Slack). +* A permanent or temporary ban from some or all PyQtGraph spaces (Slack, github, mailing list or events) or from + communicating, in public or in private, with some are all of the members of our community. +* Contacting law enforcement. + +A response must be sent within one week to the person who filed the report with either a resolution or an explanation of +why the situation is not yet resolved. + +A Code of Conduct transparency report will then be published +to [the PyQtGraph users' list](https://groups.google.com/g/pyqtgraph) with anonymized information about any violations +that might have occurred. This report should be handled with care not to divulge personally identifying information +about victims, reporters, and violators, and should serve as a means to ensure that members will be comfortable +reporting violations and that our community will be kept accountable for supporting and encouraging safe spaces. + +## Attribution + +This Code of Conduct is adapted from +the [Contributor Covenant, version 2.0](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/0/code_of_conduct.html) and +the [PuPPy Code of Conduct](https://www.pspython.com/pages/code-of-conduct/). diff --git a/CONTRIBUTING.md b/CONTRIBUTING.md index d6d631e8..c4214e57 100644 --- a/CONTRIBUTING.md +++ b/CONTRIBUTING.md @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ # Contributing to PyQtGraph -Contributions to pyqtgraph are welcome! +Contributions to pyqtgraph are welcome!
