+description: Updates for version 2.5 of rOpenSci's Code of Conduct
+---
+
+rOpenSci’s activities and spaces are supported by a [Code of Conduct](/code-of-conduct/) 
+that applies to all people participating in the rOpenSci community, 
+including rOpenSci staff and leadership.
+It applies to all modes of interaction including GitHub project repositories, 
+the rOpenSci discussion forum, Slack, Community Calls, Co-working and social sessions, 
+and in person at rOpenSci-hosted events, including affiliated social gatherings.
+Our Code of Conduct is developed and enforced by a committee including rOpenSci staff and an independent community member.
+
+Here we report on our annual review of rOpenSci's Code of Conduct, 
+reporting process, and internal guidelines for handling reports and enforcement.
+
+## Updates
+
+1.  No changes of Committee members for 2025.
+    The committee members are [Natalia Morandeira](/author/natalia-morandeira/) (independent member), 
+    [Mark Padgham](/author/mark-padgham) (rOpenSci Software Research Scientist) and 
+    [Yanina Bellini Saibene](/author/yanina-bellini-saibene) (rOpenSci Community Manager).
+    We are responsible for receiving, investigating, deciding, enforcing, 
+    and responding to all reports of potential violations of our Code.
+
+2.  No changes have been made to the text of the Code in English or Spanish.
+
+3.  The text of the Code of Conduct has been translated into Portuguese, thanks to [Beatriz Milz](/author/beatriz-milz/) and [Francesca Palmeira](/author/francesca-belem-lopes-palmeira/).
+    The Portuguese version is available at [https://ropensci.org/pt/código-de-conduta/](https://ropensci.org/pt/código-de-conduta/).
+
+
+Because the text has remained unchanged, the version number is kept at 2.5, dated January 30, 2024.
+
+## Committee Members Activities
+
+We reflected on how we handle incidents, decide, take necessary actions, and possibly communicate both with reporters and/or reported persons. As a result of this reflection, we have been working on a template to guide the CoC steps.
+
+Yanina Bellini Saibene attended the Book Club organized by R-Ladies Global to 
+read and discuss the book ["How to Respond to Code of Conduct Reports"](https://files.frameshiftconsulting.com/books/cocguide.pdf). It was a good opportunity to discuss with and learn from 
+other CoC member of other organizations including R-Ladies, Bioconductor and Forwards. 
+
+We welcome your feedback by email to conduct at ropensci.org, 
+and we thank you for continuing to work with us to ensure that rOpenSci remains a safe, 
+enjoyable, friendly and enriching environment for everyone who participates.
