Code of conduct

This Code of Conduct is adapted from the CNCF Community Code of Conduct v1.3, which is itself adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 2.0. We keep the wording of the original and change only what does not apply to this project: the scope, the reporting channel, the enforcement section and the amendment process.

Myriarch is an independent project. It is not a CNCF project, and the CNCF Code of Conduct Committee has no jurisdiction over it. If the project is accepted into the CNCF, the escalation path of the CNCF Code of Conduct applies from that point on (see GOVERNANCE.md).

Our pledge

As contributors, maintainers and participants in the myriarch community, and in the interest of fostering an open and welcoming community, we pledge to respect all people who participate or contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, attending conferences or events, or engaging in other community or project activities.

We are committed to making participation in the myriarch community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, caste, disability, ethnicity, level of experience, family status, gender, gender identity and expression, marital status, military or veteran status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, tribe, or any other dimension of diversity.

Scope

This code of conduct applies:

  • within project and community spaces (the repository, issues, pull requests, discussions, chats, mailing lists and events run by the project),
  • in other spaces when an individual community participant’s words or actions are directed at or are about the project, the community, or another community participant in the context of a project activity.

Our standards

The myriarch community is open, inclusive and respectful. Every member of our community has the right to have their identity respected.

Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment include but are not limited to:

  • Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
  • Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
  • Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
  • Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
  • Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community
  • Using welcoming and inclusive language

Examples of unacceptable behavior include but are not limited to:

  • The use of sexualized language or imagery
  • Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
  • Public or private harassment in any form
  • Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
  • Violence, threatening violence, or encouraging others to engage in violent behavior
  • Stalking or following someone without their consent
  • Unwelcome physical contact
  • Unwelcome sexual or romantic attention or advances
  • Using project or community spaces for political campaigning or promotion of political causes that are unrelated to the advancement of the project. To clarify, this policy does not restrict individuals’ personal attire, including attire that expresses personal beliefs or aspects of identity.
  • Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

The following behaviors are also prohibited:

  • Providing knowingly false or misleading information in connection with a Code of Conduct investigation or otherwise intentionally tampering with an investigation.
  • Retaliating against a person because they reported an incident or provided information about an incident as a witness.

Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct. By adopting this Code of Conduct, project maintainers commit themselves to fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of managing the project. Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct may be temporarily or permanently removed from the project team.

Reporting

Report incidents by writing to conduct@myriarch.dev. Reports are handled by the project maintainers (see MAINTAINERS.md) and are kept confidential: the maintainers do not disclose the identity of the reporter without consent, except where the law requires it. If a maintainer is involved in a report, that maintainer does not take part in handling it. While there is a single maintainer, the maintainer tells the reporter about the conflict, offers to forward the report to a neutral third party whom the reporter agrees to, and documents the outcome.

Enforcement

Upon review and investigation of a reported incident, the maintainers determine what action is appropriate based on this Code of Conduct. Actions range from a private reminder or a warning to the removal of content, a temporary ban from project spaces and a permanent ban.

Amendments

Substantive changes to this Code of Conduct are proposed through a pull request and decided as described in GOVERNANCE.md.
