All participants in the ReactJS Dallas projects are required to comply with the following Code of Conduct. Administrators (see below for definition of administrators) will enforce this code throughout the ReactJS Dallas.
Be respectful of other people; respectfully ask people to stop if you are bothered; respect privacy; understand we're mostly not-for-profit; and if you can’t resolve an issue then contact the Administrators. If you are being a problem, it will be apparent and you may be asked to leave the ReactJS Dallas organization.
The ReactJS Dallas is an intentionally positive community that recognizes and celebrates the creativity and collaboration of independent members and the diversity of skills, talents, experiences, cultures, and opinions that they bring to our community.
The ReactJS Dallas is an inclusive environment, based on treating all individuals respectfully, regardless of gender or gender identity (including transgender status), sexual orientation, age, disability, nationality, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or career path.
We value respectful behavior above individual opinions.
Respectful behavior includes but is not limited to:
- Be considerate, kind, constructive, and helpful.
- Avoid demeaning, discriminatory, harassing, hateful, or physically threatening behavior, speech, and imagery.
- If you’re not sure, ask someone instead of assuming. No, really. Just ask the administrators. We’d rather hear from you than hear about something you said or did after the fact, and we are here to help.
- Don’t be a bystander. Role model respectful behaviour, but also help to address disrespect when you see it.
Disrespectful behavior outside this community may be considered a violation of this code of conduct at the discretion of the Administrators.
This community is not a public space. However, no one has signed an non-disclosure agreement (“NDA”) to participate, and you should not presume anything you say here will remain private, so act accordingly. Protect IP and legally-protected information.
If you want to publicly disclose anything discussed here, use the Chatham House Rule as the guideline (“participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed”).
For attribution of specific content found on this repository, we ask that you ask the originator of the content for permission. If you don’t receive consent in a reasonable period of time, we ask that you credit the “ReactJS Dallas User Group.”
This community is mostly not a place for commercial activity such as recruiting or marketing except in channels dedicated to that purpose which are:
- #jobs channel in our Slack team
If you join this community to just sell things and not contribute and learn, the community will quickly notice. If you are wondering where you can post commercial things, ask in #raect-slack-rules in the Slack team, not in the GitHub repository.
We believe peer-to-peer discussions, feedback, and corrections can help build a stronger, safer, and more welcoming community.
If you see someone violating any part of this Code of Conduct, we urge you to respectfully dissuade them from such behavior. Expect that others in the community wish to help keep the community respectful, and welcome your input in doing so.
If you experience disrespectful behavior toward yourself or anyone else and feel in any way unable or unwilling to respond or resolve it respectfully (for any reason), please immediately bring it to the attention of an Administrator. We want to hear from you about anything that you feel is disrespectful, threatening, or just something that could make someone feel distressed in any way. We will listen and work to resolve the matter.
Should you catch yourself behaving disrespectfully, or be confronted as such, listen intently, own up to your words and actions, and apologize accordingly. No one is perfect, and even well-intentioned people make mistakes. What matters is how you handle them and that you avoid repeating them in the future.
If you are unable to resolve a situation peacefully, please refer to our Incident Process and choose a course of action that suits the situation.
If the Administrators determine that a human is violating any part of this Code of Conduct, the Administrators may take any action they deem appropriate within this Github organization, up to and including expulsion and exclusion from the ReactJS Dallas organization and/or Slack team.
As Administrators, we will seek to resolve conflicts peacefully and in a manner that is positive for the community. We can’t foresee every situation, and thus if in the Administrator's judgment the best thing to do is to ask a disrespectful individual to leave, we will do so.
The administrators of ReactJS Dallas as of August 14th, 2018:
@m2mathew (Mike Mathew)
Thank you to every ReactJS Dallas community member for helping to make our home the respectful and inclusive community that it is.
Very special thanks to the Rands Leadership Slack for the original model and idea for this Code of Conduct document.
The true origins of the Code of Conduct are more likely here: Chicago Camps, YxYY (Yes and Yes Yes), and Hillary Hartley. We consider them as examples to look up to and emulate. We also thank the YxYY community member Tantek Çelik and the other organizers of IndieWebCamp for creating and sharing the Code of Conduct on which this one is based.
If you question the need for a Code of Conduct, please see this.
V1.0 of this Code of Conduct was published on August 14th, 2018.
