Below is our community code of conduct, which +applies to our repos and organizations, mailing lists, blog content, and any +other Chromium-supported communication group, as well as any private +communication initiated in the context of these spaces. + +Simply put, community discussions should be + + * respectful and kind; + * about Chromium; + * about features and code, not the individuals involved. + +## Be respectful and constructive. + +Treat everyone with respect. Build on each other’s ideas. Each of us has the +right to enjoy our experience and participate without fear of harassment, +discrimination, or condescension, whether blatant or subtle. Remember that +Chromium is a geographically distributed team and that you may not be +communicating with someone in their primary language. We all get frustrated +when working on hard problems, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn +into personal attacks. + +## Speak up if you see or hear something. + +You are empowered to politely engage when you feel that you or others are +disrespected. The person making you feel uncomfortable may not be aware of what +they are doing - politely bringing their behavior to their attention is +encouraged. + +If you are uncomfortable speaking up, or feel that your concerns are not being +duly considered, you can email community@chromium.org to request involvement +from a community manager. You may also email any of the community managers +directly. All concerns shared with community managers will be kept +confidential. In cases where a public response is deemed necessary, the +identities of victims and reporters will remain confidential unless those +individuals instruct us otherwise. + +While all reports will be taken seriously, the Chromium community managers may +not act on complaints that they feel are not violations of this code of +conduct. + +## We will not tolerate harassment of any kind, including but not limited to: + + * Harassing comments + * Intimidation + * Encouraging a person to engage in self-harm. + * Sustained disruption or derailing of threads, channels, lists, etc. + * Offensive or violent comments, jokes or otherwise + * Inappropriate sexual content + * Unwelcome sexual or otherwise aggressive attention + * Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease + * Distribution or threat of distribution of people’s personally identifying + information, AKA “doxing” + +## Consequences for failing to comply with this policy + +Consequences for failing to comply with this policy may include, at the sole +discretion of the Chromium community managers: + + * a request for an apology; + * a private or public warning or reprimand; + * a temporary ban from the mailing list, blog, Chromium repository or + organization, or other Chromium-supported communication group, including + loss of committer status; + * a permanent ban from any of the above, or from all current and future + Chromium-supported or Google-supported communities, including loss of + committer status. + +Participants warned to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply +immediately; failure to do so will result in an escalation of consequences. + +The decisions of the Chromium community managers may be appealed via +community-appeals@chromium.org. + +## Acknowledgements + +This Code of Conduct is based on the Geek Feminism Code of Conduct, the Django +Code of Conduct and the Geek Feminism Wiki "Effective codes of conduct" guide. + +## License + +This Code of Conduct is available for reuse under the Creative Commons Zero +(CC0) license.
