<h2 id="about">About</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
Online communities include people from many different backgrounds.
|
||
The Go contributors are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming
|
||
environment for all, regardless of gender identity and expression, sexual orientation,
|
||
disabilities, neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality,
|
||
race, age, religion, or similar personal characteristics.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
The first goal of the Code of Conduct is to specify a baseline standard
|
||
of behavior so that people with different social values and communication
|
||
styles can talk about Go effectively, productively, and respectfully.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
The second goal is to provide a mechanism for resolving conflicts in the
|
||
community when they arise.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
The third goal of the Code of Conduct is to make our community welcoming to
|
||
people from different backgrounds.
|
||
Diversity is critical to the project; for Go to be successful, it needs
|
||
contributors and users from all backgrounds.
|
||
(See <a href="https://blog.golang.org/open-source">Go, Open Source, Community</a>.)
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
We believe that healthy debate and disagreement are essential to a healthy project and community.
|
||
However, it is never ok to be disrespectful.
|
||
We value diverse opinions, but we value respectful behavior more.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<h2 id="values">Gopher values</h2>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
These are the values to which people in the Go community (“Gophers”) should aspire.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Be friendly and welcoming
|
||
<li>Be patient
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Remember that people have varying communication styles and that not
|
||
everyone is using their native language.
|
||
(Meaning and tone can be lost in translation.)
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<li>Be thoughtful
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Productive communication requires effort.
|
||
Think about how your words will be interpreted.
|
||
<li>Remember that sometimes it is best to refrain entirely from commenting.
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<li>Be respectful
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>In particular, respect differences of opinion.
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<li>Be charitable
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Interpret the arguments of others in good faith, do not seek to disagree.
|
||
<li>When we do disagree, try to understand why.
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<li>Avoid destructive behavior:
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Derailing: stay on topic; if you want to talk about something else,
|
||
start a new conversation.
|
||
<li>Unconstructive criticism: don't merely decry the current state of affairs;
|
||
offer—or at least solicit—suggestions as to how things may be improved.
|
||
<li>Snarking (pithy, unproductive, sniping comments)
|
||
<li>Discussing potentially offensive or sensitive issues;
|
||
this all too often leads to unnecessary conflict.
|
||
<li>Microaggressions: brief and commonplace verbal, behavioral and
|
||
environmental indignities that communicate hostile, derogatory or negative
|
||
slights and insults to a person or group.
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>
|
||
People are complicated.
|
||
You should expect to be misunderstood and to misunderstand others;
|
||
when this inevitably occurs, resist the urge to be defensive or assign blame.
|
||
Try not to take offense where no offense was intended.
|
||
Give people the benefit of the doubt.
|
||
Even if the intent was to provoke, do not rise to it.
|
||
It is the responsibility of <i>all parties</i> to de-escalate conflict when it arises.

<h2 id="code">Code of Conduct</h2>
|
||
|
||
<h3 id="our-pledge">Our Pledge</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 id="our-standards">Our Standards</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
|
||
include:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>Using welcoming and inclusive language</li>
|
||
<li>Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences</li>
|
||
<li>Gracefully accepting constructive criticism</li>
|
||
<li>Focusing on what is best for the community</li>
|
||
<li>Showing empathy towards other community members</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<p>Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
|
||
advances</li>
|
||
<li>Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks</li>
|
||
<li>Public or private harassment</li>
|
||
<li>Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic
|
||
address, without explicit permission</li>
|
||
<li>Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
|
||
professional setting</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
|
||
<h3 id="our-responsibilities">Our Responsibilities</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 id="scope">Scope</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
|
||
<h3 id="conflict-resolution"></a>Conflict Resolution</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p id="reporting">Reports should be directed to Cassandra Salisbury, the
|
||
Go Project Steward, at <i>conduct@golang.org</i>.
|
||
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 <i>opensource@google.com</i>.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
