# Code of Conduct
|
||
|
||
Like the technical community as a whole, the Insomnia community is made up of a mixture
|
||
of professionals and volunteers from all over the world, working on every aspect of the
|
||
mission – including mentorship, teaching, and connecting people.
|
||
|
||
Diversity is a huge priority, but it can also lead to communication issues and
|
||
unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to. This
|
||
code applies equally to founders, mentors and those seeking help and guidance.
|
||
|
||
This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you can’t do. Rather, take it in the spirit
|
||
in which it’s intended - a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us and the technical
|
||
communities in which we participate.
|
||
|
||
This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the Insomnia project, including Slack,
|
||
the issue tracker, and any other forums created for the project which the community uses
|
||
for communication. In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may affect
|
||
a person's ability to participate within them.
|
||
|
||
If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you report it by
|
||
emailing [support@insomnia.rest](mailto:support@insomnia.rest). For more details
|
||
please see our Reporting Guidelines
|
||
|
||
- **Be friendly and patient.**
|
||
- **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all
|
||
backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race,
|
||
ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic
|
||
class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age,
|
||
size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
|
||
- **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will
|
||
depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues,
|
||
and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions. Remember
|
||
that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in someone
|
||
else's primary language.
|
||
- **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no
|
||
excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration
|
||
now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack.
|
||
It’s important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or
|
||
threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Insomnia community should be respectful
|
||
when dealing with other members as well as with people outside the Insomnia community.
|
||
- **Be careful in the words that you choose.** We are a community of professionals,
|
||
and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put
|
||
down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior isn't acceptable.
|
||
This includes, but is not limited to:
|
||
- Violent threats or language directed against another person.
|
||
- Discriminatory jokes and language.
|
||
- Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
|
||
- Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying information ("doxing").
|
||
- Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
|
||
- Unwelcome sexual attention.
|
||
- Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
|
||
- Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop.
|
||
- **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and technical,
|
||
happen all the time and Insomnia is no exception. It is important that we resolve
|
||
disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we’re different. The
|
||
strength of Insomnia comes from its varied community, people from a wide range of backgrounds.
|
||
Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why
|
||
someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human
|
||
to err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve
|
||
issues and learning from mistakes.
