# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct

## Our Pledge

We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in the
Software-Policies project a harassment-free experience for everyone,
regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex
characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race,
caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
diverse, inclusive, and healthy project.

## Our Standards

Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for the
Software-Policies project include:

- 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 project

Examples of unacceptable behavior include:

- The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances
  of any kind
- Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political
  attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
  address, without their explicit permission
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
  professional setting

## Enforcement Responsibilities

Project leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening,
offensive, or harmful.

Project leaders 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, and will communicate reasons for
moderation decisions when appropriate.

## Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all Software-Policies project spaces, and
also applies when an individual is officially representing the
Software-Policies project in public spaces. Examples of representing the
Software-Policies project include using an official email address, posting
via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
representative at an online or offline event.

## Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported to the project leaders responsible for enforcement at Mikko
Koivunalho <mikkoi@cpan.org>. All complaints will be reviewed and
investigated promptly and fairly.

All project leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
reporter of any incident.

## Enforcement Guidelines

Project leaders will follow these Project Impact Guidelines in determining
the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of
Conduct:

### 1. Correction

**Project Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
unprofessional or unwelcome in the project.

**Consequence**: A private, written warning from project leaders, providing
clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.

### 2. Warning

**Project Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
actions.

**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with

ban.

### 3. Temporary Ban

**Project Impact**: A serious violation of project standards, including
sustained inappropriate behavior.

**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
communication with the project for a specified period of time. No public or
private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited
interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this
period. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.

### 4. Permanent Ban

standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an
