We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our

community 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, 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.

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:

* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or

advances of any kind

* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks

* Public or private harassment

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

address, without their explicit permission

* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a

professional setting

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 Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when

an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.

Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,

posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed

representative at an online or offline event.

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be

reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at

[email protected] (monitored by Thomas Caswell (\@tacaswell) and Hannah

Aizenman (\@story645)) or a report can be made using the [NumFOCUS Code of Conduct report form][numfocus form].

If community leaders cannot come to a resolution about enforcement, reports will be escalated to the NumFocus Code of Conduct committee ([email protected]).

All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.

All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the

reporter of any incident.
