+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.
+ +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 Cassandra Salisbury, the +Go Project Steward, at conduct@golang.org. +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 the Project Steward, please email +the Google Open Source Programs Office at opensource@google.com.
+ +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.
