| # Galaxy Project Code of Conduct | ||
|
|
||
| ## Note: Change is Coming | ||
| This project is committed to providing a welcoming and harassment-free | ||
| experience for everyone. We therefore expect participants to abide by our Code | ||
| of Conduct, which can be found at: | ||
|
|
||
| Since 2015 the Galaxy Project Code of Conduct has resided here, and updates to it have been coordinated by the Committers Group for this repo. | ||
|
|
||
| This code of conduct has served us reasonably well over the years, but it is time for a refresh. Since 2015 the world has become much more aware of the need for codes of conduct, and best practices for creating and enforcing them have moved forward significantly. | ||
|
|
||
| **As a result it is past time to update both our code of conduct and our process for maintaining it.** The Galaxy Outreach and Training [Working Group](https://galaxyproject.org/community/wg/) is currently working on a first draft of a new code and new processes. The final code and processes we adopt will be [implemented](https://galaxyproject.org/community/coc/) only after it has been discussed, revised, and approved by the community. | ||
|
|
||
| Until that happens this will remain the Galaxy Project Code of Conduct. | ||
|
|
||
| # Code of Conduct | ||
|
|
||
| This code of conduct outlines our expectations for participants within the | ||
| Galaxy community, as well as steps to reporting unacceptable behavior. We are | ||
| committed to providing a welcoming and inspiring community for all and expect | ||
| our code of conduct to be honored. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may | ||
| be banned from the community. | ||
|
|
||
| Our open source community strives to: | ||
|
|
||
| * **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. | ||
|
|
||
| * **Be careful in the words that we 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 aren'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. | ||
|
|
||
| * **Try to understand why we disagree**: Disagreements, both social and | ||
| technical, happen all the time. It is important that we resolve disagreements | ||
| and differing views constructively. Remember that we’re different. Diversity | ||
| contributes to the strength of our community, which is composed of 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. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Diversity Statement | ||
|
|
||
| We encourage everyone to participate and are committed to building a community | ||
| for all. Although we will fail at times, we seek to treat everyone both as | ||
| fairly and equally as possible. Whenever a participant has made a mistake, we | ||
| expect them to take responsibility for it. If someone has been harmed or | ||
| offended, it is our responsibility to listen carefully and respectfully, and do | ||
| our best to right the wrong. | ||
|
|
||
| Although this list cannot be exhaustive, we explicitly honor diversity in age, | ||
| gender, gender identity or expression, culture, ethnicity, language, national | ||
| origin, political beliefs, profession, race, religion, sexual orientation, | ||
| socioeconomic status, and technical ability. We will not tolerate | ||
| discrimination based on any of the protected characteristics above, including | ||
| participants with disabilities. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Reporting Issues | ||
|
|
||
| If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns, | ||
| please report it to any combination of the following people that makes you feel | ||
| the most comfortable: | ||
|
|
||
| - Dave Clements ([email protected]). Dave is the Galaxy Project community | ||
| outreach manager and has experience handling Code of Conduct related issues. | ||
| - Dr. Mike Schatz ([email protected]). Mike is Dave Clements' direct manager | ||
| and issues related to Dave in some way should be reported to Mike. | ||
| - Helena Rasche ([email protected]). Helena is a well-known, trusted | ||
| community member, is LGBT+, and has completely separate funding and | ||
| institutional affiliation from Dave and Mike. | ||
|
|
||
| All reports will be handled with discretion. In your report please include: | ||
|
|
||
| - Your contact information. | ||
|
|
||
| - Names (real, nicknames, or pseudonyms) of any individuals involved. If there | ||
| are additional witnesses, please include them as well. Your account of what | ||
| occurred, and if you believe the incident is ongoing. If there is a publicly | ||
| available record (e.g. a mailing list archive or a public IRC logger), please | ||
| include a link. | ||
|
|
||
| - Any additional information that may be helpful. | ||
|
|
||
| After filing a report, a representative will contact you personally, review the | ||
| incident, follow up with any additional questions, and make a decision as to | ||
| how to respond. If the person who is harassing you is part of the response | ||
| team, they will recuse themselves from handling your incident. If the complaint | ||
| originates from a member of the response team, it will be handled by a | ||
| different member of the response team. We will respect confidentiality requests | ||
| for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. | ||
