We are committed to providing a +welcoming and inspiring community for all and expect our code of conduct +to be honored. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be banned +from the community. -**Our Code of Conduct can be found here**: -http://opensource.stitchfix.com/code-of-conduct.html +Our open source community strives to: + +- **Be friendly and patient.** +- **Be welcoming**: We strive to be a community + that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. + This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, + culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and + economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender + identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, + religion, and mental and physical ability. +- **Be considerate**: Your work will be used by + other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any + decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should + take those consequences into account when making decisions. Remember + that we’re a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating + in someone else’s primary language. +- **Be respectful**: Not all of us will agree all + the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor + manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we + cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It’s + important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable + or threatened is not a productive one. +- **Be careful in the words that we choose**: we + are a community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves + professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other + participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren’t + acceptable. +- **Try to understand why we disagree**: + Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time. It is + important that we resolve disagreements and differing views + constructively. Remember that we’re different. The strength of our + community comes from its diversity, people from a wide range of + backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. + Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean + that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming + each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to + resolve issues and learning from mistakes. + +## Definitions + +Harassment includes, but is not limited to: + +- Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, + sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, + physical appearance, body size, race, age, regional discrimination, + political or religious affiliation +- Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and + practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, + and employment +- Deliberate misgendering. This includes deadnaming or persistently + using a pronoun that does not correctly reflect a person’s gender + identity. You must address people by the name they give you when not + addressing them by their username or handle +- Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual + descriptions like “*hug*” or “*backrub*”) without consent or after a + request to stop +- Threats of violence, both physical and psychological +- Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a + person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm +- Deliberate intimidation +- Stalking or following +- Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity + for harassment purposes +- Sustained disruption of discussion +- Unwelcome sexual attention, including gratuitous or off-topic sexual + images or behaviour +- Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming + inappropriate levels of intimacy with others +- Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease +- Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their + consent except as necessary to protect others from intentional abuse +- Publication of non-harassing private communication + +### Diversity Statement + +We encourage everyone to participate and are committed to building a +community for all. Although we will fail at times, we seek to treat +everyone both as fairly and equally as possible. Whenever a participant +has made a mistake, we expect them to take responsibility for it. If +someone has been harmed or offended, it is our responsibility to listen +carefully and respectfully, and do our best to right the wrong. + +Although this list cannot be exhaustive, we explicitly honor diversity +in age, gender, gender identity or expression, culture, ethnicity, +language, national origin, political beliefs, profession, race, +religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and technical +ability. We will not tolerate discrimination based on any of the +protected characteristics above, including participants with +disabilities. + +### Reporting Issues + +If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior—or have any other +concerns—please report it by contacting us via +**opensource@stitchfix.com**. All reports will be +handled with discretion. In your report please include: + +- Your contact information. +- Names (real, nicknames, or pseudonyms) of any individuals involved. If + there are additional witnesses, please include them as well. Your + account of what occurred, and if you believe the incident is ongoing. + If there is a publicly available record (e.g. a mailing list archive + or a public IRC logger), please include a link. +- Any additional information that may be helpful. + +After filing a report, a representative will contact you personally, +review the incident, follow up with any additional questions, and make a +decision as to how to respond. If the person who is harassing you is +part of the response team, they will recuse themselves from handling +your incident. If the complaint originates from a member of the response +team, it will be handled by a different member of the response team. We +will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting +victims of abuse. + +### Attribution & Acknowledgements + +We all stand on the shoulders of giants across many open source +communities.
