About the Code of Conduct

+ +

Why have a Code of Conduct?

+ +

+Online communities include people from many different backgrounds. +The Go contributors are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming +environment for all, regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, race, +religion, sexuality, or similar personal characteristic. +

+ +

+The first goal of the Code of Conduct is to specify a baseline standard +of behavior so that people with different social values and communication +styles can talk about Go effectively, productively, and respectfully. +

+ +

+The second goal is to provide a mechanism for resolving conflicts in the +community when they arise. +

+ +

+The third goal of the Code of Conduct is to make our community welcoming to +people from different backgrounds. +Diversity is critical to the project; for Go to be successful, it needs +contributors and users from all backgrounds. +(See Go, Open Source, Community.) +

+ +

+With that said, a healthy community must allow for disagreement and debate. +The Code of Conduct is not a mechanism for people to silence others with whom +they disagree. +

+ +

Where does the Code of Conduct apply?

+ +

+If you participate in or contribute to the Go ecosystem in any way, +you are encouraged to follow the Code of Conduct while doing so. +

+ +

+Explicit enforcement of the Code of Conduct applies to the +official forums operated by the Go project (“Go spaces”): +

+ + + +

+Other Go groups (such as conferences, meetups, and other unofficial forums) are +encouraged to adopt this Code of Conduct. Those groups must provide their own +moderators and/or working group (see below). +

+ +

Gopher values

+ +

+These are the values to which people in the Go community (“Gophers”) should aspire. +

+ + + +

+People are complicated. +You should expect to be misunderstood and to misunderstand others; +when this inevitably occurs, resist the urge to be defensive or assign blame. +Try not to take offense where no offense was intended. +Give people the benefit of the doubt. +Even if the intent was to provoke, do not rise to it. +It is the responsibility of all parties to de-escalate conflict when it arises. +

+ +

Unwelcome behavior

+ +

+These actions are explicitly forbidden in Go spaces: +

+ + + +

Moderation

+ +

+The Go spaces are not free speech venues; they are for discussion about Go. +These spaces have moderators. +The goal of the moderators is to facilitate civil discussion about Go. +

+ +

+When using the official Go spaces you should act in the spirit of the “Gopher +values”. +If you conduct yourself in a way that is explicitly forbidden by the CoC, +you will be warned and asked to stop. +If you do not stop, you will be removed from our community spaces temporarily. +Repeated, wilful breaches of the CoC will result in a permanent ban. +

+ +

+Moderators are held to a higher standard than other community members. +If a moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they should expect less +leeway than others, and should expect to be removed from their position if they +cannot adhere to the CoC. +

+ +

+Complaints about moderator actions must be handled using the reporting process +below. +

+ +

Reporting issues

+ +

+The Code of Conduct Working Group is a group of people that represent the Go +community. They are responsible for handling conduct-related issues. +Their purpose is to de-escalate conflicts and try to resolve issues to the +satisfaction of all parties. They are: +

+ + + +

+If you encounter a conduct-related issue, you should report it to the +Working Group using the process described below. +Do not post about the issue publicly or try to rally sentiment against a +particular individual or group. +

+ + + +

+Note that the goal of the Code of Conduct and the Working Group is to resolve +conflicts in the most harmonious way possible. +We hope that in most cases issues may be resolved through polite discussion and +mutual agreement. +Bannings and other forceful measures are to be employed only as a last resort. +

+ +

+Changes to the Code of Conduct (including to the members of the Working Group) +should be proposed using the +change proposal process. +
