Blitz and the Blitz team are committed to preserving and fostering a diverse, welcoming community. Below is our community code of conduct, which applies to our repos and organizations, issue trackers, mailing lists, blog content, and any other Chromium-supported communication group, 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 Chromium project, regardless of affiliation or position.
Simply put, community discussions should be
- respectful and kind;
- about Blitz;
- about features and code, not the individuals involved.
Treat everyone with respect. Build on each other's ideas. Each of us has the right to enjoy our experience and participate without fear of harassment, discrimination, or condescension, whether blatant or subtle. Remember that 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.
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.
If you are uncomfortable speaking up, or feel that your concerns are not being duly considered, you can email [email protected] to request involvement from a community manager. All concerns shared with community managers will be kept confidential, but you may also submit an anonymous report here. 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.
While all reports will be taken seriously, the Chromium community managers may not act on complaints that they feel are not violations of this code of conduct.
- 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 may include, at the sole discretion of 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 permanent ban from any of the above, or from all current and future Chromium-supported or Google-supported communities, including loss of committer status.
Participants warned to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately; failure to do so will result in an escalation of consequences.
