+<h1>Code of Conduct</h1>

+<p><em>This document was officially adopted by the CouchDB PMC as of 11 August
2014.</em>

-<body>
-<p><em>This Code of Conduct and Diversity Statement has not yet been made
official by the community. This is a work in progress.</em>
-<h1 id="intro">Introduction</h1>
<p>This code of conduct <u>governs how we behave</u> in any forum and whenever
we will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honoured by everyone who
participates in the Apache CouchDB community <a
href="http://couchdb.apache.org/bylaws.html#roles";>formally</a> or informally,
or claims any affiliation with the project.
+
<p>This code of conduct also <u>applies to all spaces</u> managed by the
Apache CouchDB project, including IRC, all public and private mailing lists,
the issue tracker, the wiki, the blogs, Twitter, and any other forum which the
community uses for communication. <em><span style="color: rgb(255,0,0);">TODO:
An expanded code of conduct is being drafted for events that involve physical
interaction (conferences), based on the</span> <a
href="https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/anti-harassment.html";>published
ASF anti-harassment policy</a>.</em>
+
<p>This code <u>is not exhaustive or complete</u>. It serves to distill our
common understanding of a collaborative, shared environment and goals. We
expect it to be followed in spirit as much as in the letter, so that it can
enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we participate.
-<h1 id="guidelines">Specific Guidelines</h1>
+
+<h2 id="guidelines">Specific Guidelines</h2>
+
<p>We strive to:
-<ol>
-<li><p><strong>Be open</strong>. We invite anyone to participate in our
community. As per <a
href="http://couchdb.apache.org/bylaws.html#decisions";>Section 3 of our Project
Bylaws</a>, we preferably use public methods of communication for
project-related messages, unless discussing something sensitive. This applies
to messages for help or CouchDB-related support, too; not only is a public
support request much more likely to result in an answer to a question, it also
makes sure that any inadvertent mistakes made by people answering will be more
easily detected and corrected.
-<li><p><strong>Be <a href="#endnotes">empathetic</a>, welcoming, friendly, and
patient</strong>: We work together to resolve conflict, assume good intentions,
and do our best to act in an empathetic fashion. We may all experience some
frustration from time to time, but we do not allow frustration to turn into a
personal attack. A community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is
not a productive one. We should be respectful when dealing with other community
members as well as with people outside our community.
-<li><p><strong>Be collaborative.</strong> Our work will be used by other
people, and in turn we will depend on the work of others. When we make
something for the benefit of the project, we are willing to explain to others
how it works, so that they can build on the work to make it even better. Any
decision we make will affect users and colleagues, and we take those
consequences seriously when making decisions.
-<li>
-<p><p><strong>Be inquisitive</strong>. Nobody knows everything! Asking
questions early avoids many problems later, so questions are encouraged, though
they may be directed to the appropriate forum. Those who are asked should be
responsive and helpful, within the context of our shared goal of improving
Apache CouchDB.
-<li><p><strong>Be careful in the words that we choose.</strong> Whether we are
participating as professionals or volunteers, we value professionalism in all
interactions, and take responsibility for our own speech. Be kind to others. Do
not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary
behaviour are not acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
-<ul>
-<li>Violent threats or language directed against another person.
-<li>Sexist, racist, or otherwise discriminatory jokes and language.
-<li>Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
-<li>Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying
information ("doxing").
-<li>Sharing private content, such as emails sent privately or non-publicly, or
unlogged forums such as IRC channel history.
-<li>Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
-<li>Unwelcome sexual attention.
-<li>Excessive or unnecessary profanity.
-<li>Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop,
then stop.
-<li>Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour.</ul>
-<li><p><strong>Be concise</strong>. Keep in mind that what you write once will
be read by hundreds of persons. Writing a short email means people can
understand the conversation as efficiently as possible. Short emails should
always strive to be empathetic, welcoming, friendly and patient. When a long
explanation is necessary, consider adding a summary.
-<p>Try to bring new ideas to a conversation so that each mail adds something
unique to the thread, keeping in mind that the rest of the thread still
contains the other messages with arguments that have already been made.
-<p>Try to stay on topic, especially in discussions that are already fairly
large.
-<li><p><strong>Step down considerately</strong>: Members of every project come
and go. When somebody leaves or disengages from the project they should tell
people they are leaving and take the proper steps to ensure that others can
pick up where they left off. In doing so, they should remain respectful of
those who continue to participate in the project and should not misrepresent
the project's goals or achievements. Likewise, community members should respect
any individual's choice to leave the project.</ol>

+<h2 id="diversity">Diversity Statement</h2>
+
<p>Apache CouchDB welcomes and encourages participation by everyone. We are
committed to being a community that everyone feels good about joining. Although
we may not be able to satisfy everyone, we will always work to treat everyone
well.
+
<p>No matter how you identify yourself or how others perceive you: we welcome
you. Though no list can hope to be comprehensive, we explicitly honour
diversity in: age, culture, ethnicity, genotype, gender identity or expression,
language, national origin, neurotype, phenotype, political beliefs, profession,
race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, subculture and
technical ability.
+
<p>Though we welcome people fluent in all languages, Apache CouchDB
development is conducted in English.
+
<p>Standards for behaviour in the Apache CouchDB community are detailed in the
Code of Conduct above. We expect participants in our community to meet these
standards in all their interactions and to help others to do so as well.
+
<p>If you want to help encourage a more diverse community, we encourage you to

<TBD></span></em>
-<h1 id="reporting">Reporting Guidelines</h1>
+
+<h2 id="reporting">Reporting Guidelines</h2>
+
<p>While this code of conduct should be adhered to by participants, we
recognize that sometimes people may have a bad day, or be unaware of some of
the guidelines in this code of conduct. When that happens, you may reply to
them and point out this code of conduct. Such messages may be in public or in
private, whatever is most appropriate. However, regardless of whether the
message is public or not, it should still adhere to the relevant parts of this
code of conduct; in particular, it should not be abusive or disrespectful.
+
<p>If you believe someone is violating this code of conduct, you may reply to
them and point out this code of conduct. Such messages may be in public or in
private, whatever is most appropriate. Assume good faith; it is more likely
that participants are unaware of their bad behaviour than that they
intentionally try to degrade the quality of the discussion. Should there be
difficulties in dealing with the situation, you may report your compliance
issues in confidence to <a
href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a>.
+
<p>If the violation is in documentation or code, for example inappropriate
pronoun usage or word choice within official documentation, we ask that people
report these privately to the project at <a
href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a>, and,
if they have sufficient ability within the project, to resolve or remove the
concerning material, being mindful of the perspective of the person originally
reporting the issue.
-<h1 id="endnotes">Endnotes</h1>
+
+<h2 id="endnotes">Endnotes</h2>
+
<p>This Code defines <strong>empathy</strong> as "a vicarious participation in
the emotions, ideas, or opinions of others; the ability to imagine oneself in
the condition or predicament of another." <strong>Empathetic</strong> is the
adjectival form of empathy.
