| 4 | +# Developer Tools Code of Conduct |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | +This file describes the Developer Tools (aka "DevTools") code of conduct. |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +# Conduct |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming |
| 11 | +environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender, gender |
| 12 | +identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal |
| 13 | +appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or |
| 14 | +other similar characteristic. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +On IRC, please avoid using overtly sexual nicknames or other nicknames |
| 17 | +that might detract from a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for |
| 18 | +all. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +Please be kind and courteous. There’s no need to be mean or rude. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design |
| 23 | +or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There |
| 24 | +is seldom a right answer. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass |
| 27 | +anyone. That is not welcome behaviour. We interpret the term |
| 28 | +“harassment” as including the definition in the |
| 29 | +[Citizen Code of Conduct](http://citizencodeofconduct.org/); if you |
| 30 | +have any lack of clarity about what might be included in that concept, |
| 31 | +please read their definition. In particular, we don’t tolerate |
| 32 | +behavior that excludes people in socially marginalized groups. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Private harassment is also unacceptable. No matter who you are, if you |
| 35 | +feel you have been or are being harassed or made uncomfortable by a |
| 36 | +community member, please contact one of the moderators (see below) |
| 37 | +immediately. Whether you’re a regular contributor or a newcomer, we |
| 38 | +care about making this community a safe place for you and we’ve got |
| 39 | +your back. |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +Likewise any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting or other |
| 42 | +attention-stealing behaviour is not welcome. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +# Moderation |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +These are the policies for upholding our community’s standards of |
| 47 | +conduct. If you feel that a thread needs moderation, please use the |
| 48 | +point of contact for the medium in which you're communicating: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +* For one of the IRC channels, contact a channel operator (they |
| 51 | + have an "@" in front of their names); |
| 52 | +* Bugzilla and the dev-developer-tools mailing list, contact |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +* The debugger.html repository on GitHub has [its own code of conduct](https://github.com/devtools-html/debugger.html/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md), but you can also |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +Remarks that violate these standards of conduct, including hateful, |
| 58 | +hurtful, oppressive, or exclusionary remarks, are not |
| 59 | +allowed. (Cursing is allowed, but never targeting another user, and |
| 60 | +never in a hateful manner.) |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +Remarks that moderators find inappropriate, whether listed in the code |
| 63 | +of conduct or not, are also not allowed. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Moderators will first respond to such remarks with a warning. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +If the warning is unheeded, then on IRC the user will be “kicked,” |
| 68 | +i.e., kicked out of the communication channel to cool off. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +If the user comes back and continues to make trouble, they will be |
| 71 | +banned, i.e., indefinitely excluded. On other communications media, |
| 72 | +such as bugzilla or mailing lists, it will be up to the moderator's |
| 73 | +discretion whether a user will be banned after the first warning. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +Moderators may choose at their discretion to un-ban the user if it was |
| 76 | +a first offense and they offer the offended party a genuine apology. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +If a moderator bans someone and you think it was unjustified, please |
| 79 | +take it up with that moderator, or with a different moderator, in |
| 80 | +private. Complaints about bans in-channel (or on the mailing list or |
| 81 | +in the bug tracker) are not allowed. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +Moderators are held to a higher standard than other community |
| 84 | +members. If a moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they |
| 85 | +should expect less leeway than others. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +In this community we strive to go the extra step to look out for |
| 88 | +each other. Don’t just aim to be technically unimpeachable, try to be |
| 89 | +your best self. In particular, avoid flirting with offensive or |
| 90 | +sensitive issues, particularly if they’re off-topic; this all too |
| 91 | +often leads to unnecessary fights, hurt feelings, and damaged trust; |
| 92 | +worse, it can drive people away from the community entirely. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +And if someone takes issue with something you said or did, resist the |
| 95 | +urge to be defensive. Just stop doing what it was they complained |
| 96 | +about and apologize. Even if you feel you were misinterpreted or |
| 97 | +unfairly accused, chances are good there was something you could’ve |
| 98 | +communicated better — remember that it’s your responsibility to make |
| 99 | +your fellow devtoolers comfortable. Everyone wants to get along and we |
| 100 | +are all here first and foremost because we want to talk about cool |
| 101 | +technology. You will find that people will be eager to assume good |
| 102 | +intent and forgive as long as you earn their trust. |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +The enforcement policies listed above apply to all official DevTools |
| 105 | +venues; including official IRC channels (those starting with |
| 106 | +"#devtools"); GitHub repositories associated with DevTools; and |
| 107 | +DevTools bugs in bugzilla. |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +# Also Applicable |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +The |
| 112 | +[Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/participation/) |
| 113 | +also apply. Please read these as well. |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +# History |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +This was derived from the |
| 118 | +[Rust Code of Conduct](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/conduct.html). |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +See [bug 1315344](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1315344) if |
| 121 | +you are curious about the genesis of this document. |
