The Group 105 team members are committed to creating a respectful place for learning, teaching and contributing in order to get the work done. All participation and communications are expected to be respectful and courteous.
To make clear what is expected, everyone participating in Group 105 activities is required to conform to the Code of Conduct. This Code of Conduct applies to all spaces relevant to Group 105 work including, but not limited to, class meetings, email communication, and online forums such as Slack and GitHub.
We are dedicated to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for all people, regardless of background or identity. As such, we do not tolerate behaviour that is disrespectful, excludes, intimidates, or causes discomfort to others. We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on characteristics that include, but are not limited to, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, citizenship, nationality, ethnic or social origin, pregnancy, familial status, veteran status, genetic information, religion or belief (or lack thereof), membership of a national minority, property, age, education, socio-economic status, technical choices, and experience level.
Everyone who participates in this project is expected to follow the following guidelines.
All participants in our events and communications are expected to show respect and courtesy to others. All interactions should be professional regardless of platform, either online or in-person. As such we encourage the following kinds of behaviors:
- Be a decent human, and treat others as you would wish to be treated.
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants:
- written or verbal comments which have the effect of excluding people on the basis of membership of any specific group
- causing someone to fear for their safety, such as through stalking, following, or intimidation
- violent threats or language directed against another person
- the display of sexual or violent images
- unwelcome sexual attention
- nonconsensual or unwelcome physical contact
- sustained disruption of talks, events or communications
- insults or put downs
- sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, or exclusionary jokes
- incitement to violence, suicide, or self-harm
- continuing to initiate interaction (including photography or recording) with someone after being asked to stop publication of private communication without consent
Participants who are asked to stop any inappropriate behavior are expected to comply immediately.
If someone violates the Code of Conduct during the course of the project/s we ask that you bring it up to the team members as soon as possible by submitting an Issue or by email to a team member.
