Below is our community code of conduct, which +applies to our repos, blog content, and any other Chromium-supported communication group or Thorium discussion board, as +well as any private communication initiated in the context of these +spaces. This code of conduct must be followed by everyone contributing to +the Thorium project, regardless of affiliation or position. + +Simply put, community discussions should be + + * respectful and kind; + * about Thorium and/or Chromium; + * about features and code, not the individuals involved (although friendly personal joking or discussion about individual matters is allowed). + +## Be respectful and constructive. + +Treat everyone with respect. Build on each other's ideas. Each of us has the +right to enjoy our developer experience and participate without fear of harassment, +discrimination, or condescension, whether blatant or subtle. Remember that +Thorium and 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. + +## Contacting +If you are uncomfortable speaking up, or feel that your concerns are not being +duly considered, you can email me at Alex313031@gmail.com, or if it is specific to Chromium, at community@chromium.org to request involvement +from a community manager. Please note that without a way to contact you, an anonymous report may be +difficult to act on. You may also create a throwaway account to report. In +cases where a public response is deemed necessary, the identities of victims +and reporters will remain confidential unless those individuals instruct us +otherwise. + +I will always respond in some way, but also keep in mind that while all reports will be taken seriously, I or 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 a Thorium Maintainer or 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 temporary ban from the Thorium repository, discussion groups, or blog. + * a permanent ban from any of the above, or from all current and future + Thorium-supported or Chromium-supported communities, including loss of + committer/maintainer status. + +Participants warned to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply +immediately; failure to do so will result in an escalation of consequences. + +## Acknowledgements + +This Code of Conduct is based on the Chromium Code of Conduct, which 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.
