We are committed to promoting and sustaining a culture that values mutual respect, tolerance, and learning, and we work together as a community to help each other live out these values.<\/p>\n We have created this diversity statement because we believe that a diverse community is stronger, more vibrant, and produces better software and better science. A diverse community where people treat each other with respect has more potential contributors, more sources for ideas, and fewer shared assumptions that might hinder development or research.<\/p>\n Although we have phrased the formal diversity statement generically to make it all-inclusive, we recognize that there are specific identities that are impacted by systemic discrimination and marginalization. We welcome all people to participate in the NumFOCUS community regardless of their identity or background.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row opacity_bg_pattern=”0.1″ el_id=”Introduction”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n This code of conduct should be honored by everyone who participates in the PyData Global conference and other PyData Global events. It should be honored in any conference-related activities, by anyone claiming affiliation with PyData Global, and especially when someone is representing PyData Global in any role (including as an event volunteer or speaker).<\/p>\n This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by PyData Global, including all public and private mailing lists, issue trackers, wikis, forums, and any other communication channel used by our community. The code of conduct equally applies at PyData Global events and governs standards of behavior for attendees, speakers, volunteers, booth staff, and event sponsors.<\/p>\n This code is not exhaustive or complete. It serves to distill our understanding of a collaborative, inclusive community culture. Please try to follow this code in spirit as much as in letter, to create a friendly and productive environment that enriches the PyData Global community.<\/p>\n The PyData Global Code of Conduct follows below.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row opacity_bg_pattern=”0.1″ el_id=”Standards”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n PyData Global is a worldwide community.

We may all experience some frustration from time to time, but we do not allow frustration to turn into a personal attack. A community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one.<\/p>\n Be inquisitive.<\/strong>\u00a0Nobody knows everything! Asking questions early avoids many problems later, so we encourage questions, although we may direct them to the appropriate forum. We will try hard to be responsive and helpful.<\/p>\n Be careful in the words that we choose.<\/strong>\u00a0We are careful and respectful in our communication and we take responsibility for our own speech.

Code of conduct violations reduce the value of the community for everyone. The team at PyData Global takes reports of misconduct very seriously and is committed to preserving and maintaining the welcoming nature of our community.<\/p>\n In some cases we may determine that a public statement will need to be made. If that\u2019s the case, the identities of all involved parties and reporters will remain confidential unless those individuals instruct us otherwise.<\/p>\n All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The PyData Global team commits to maintaining confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.<\/p>\n For possibly unintentional breaches of the code of conduct, you may want to respond to the person and point out this code of conduct (either in public or in private, whatever is most appropriate). If you would prefer not to do that, please report the issue to the PyData Global CoC response team directly, or fill out this form (https:\/\/forms.gle\/UydhxLYdtBw2XJir9) with your report if you prefer to do this on your own.<\/p>\n Take care of each other. Alert the PyData Global CoC response team if you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of this code of conduct, even if they seem inconsequential.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” opacity_bg_pattern=”0.1″ el_id=”Resolve”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n All reports of breaches of the code of conduct will be investigated and handled by the\u00a0PyData Global Code of Conduct Enforcement Team or the NumFOCUS Board of Directors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Members of the NumFOCUS Board of Directors can be found in the\u00a0NumFOCUS website<\/a>.

We will then ask that person for their account of what happened.<\/p>\n Once PyData Global has completed our investigation of the report, we will make a decision as to how to respond. The person making a report will not normally be consulted as to the proposed resolution of the issue, except insofar as we need to understand how to help them feel safe.<\/p>\n Potential consequences for violating the PyData Global code of conduct include:<\/p>\n At PyData Global events<\/strong>, if a participant engages in behavior that violates this code of conduct, the conference organizers and staff may take any action they deem appropriate.<\/p>\n Potential consequences for violating the PyData Global Code of Conduct during the conference include:<\/p>\n No one espousing views or values contrary to the standards of our code of conduct will be permitted to hold any position representing PyData Global, including volunteer positions. PyData Global has the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, Mattermost messages, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned with this code of conduct.<\/p>\n We aim to\u00a0respond within one week<\/strong>\u00a0to the original reporter with either a resolution or an explanation of why the situation is not yet resolved.<\/p>\n We will contact the person who is the subject of the report to let them know what actions will be taken as a result of the report, if any.<\/p>\n Our policy is to make sure that everyone aware of the initial incident is also made aware that official action has been taken, while still respecting the privacy of individuals. PyData Global may choose to make a public report of the incident, while maintaining the anonymity of those involved.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row opacity_bg_pattern=”0.1″ el_id=”Appealing”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n To appeal a decision of PyData Global, you can contact the NumFOCUS board via\u00a0reporting@numfocus.org<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row opacity_bg_pattern=”0.1″ el_id=”Timeline”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row opacity_bg_pattern=”0.1″ el_id=”License”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n This code of conduct has been adapted from numerous sources, including the\u00a0NumFOCUS Code of Conduct<\/a>,\u00a0Geek Feminism wiki, created by the Ada Initiative and other volunteers, which is under a Creative Commons Zero license<\/a>, the\u00a0Contributor Covenant version 1.2.0<\/a>, the\u00a0Bokeh Code of Conduct<\/a>, the\u00a0SciPy Code of Conduct<\/a>, the\u00a0Carpentries Code of Conduct<\/a>, and the\u00a0NeurIPS Code of Conduct<\/a>.<\/p>\n PyData Global Code of Conduct is licensed under a\u00a0Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” opacity_bg_pattern=”0.1″][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n PyData Global is an engaged and respectful community made up of people from all over the world, committed to fostering a productive, harassment-free environment for everyone. Please read the full <\/span>Code of Conduct below<\/span>.<\/span><\/p> Fundamentally, we are committed to fostering a productive, harassment-free environment for everyone. Rather than considering this code an exhaustive list of things that you can\u2019t do, take it in the spirit it is intended – a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us and the communities in which we participate.<\/span><\/p> Be friendly and patient.<\/b><\/p> Be welcoming.<\/b> 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 ethnicity, culture, national origin, color, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, physical appearance, family status, technological or professional choices, academic discipline, religion, mental ability, and physical ability.<\/span><\/p> Be considerate.<\/b> 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. You may be communicating with someone with a different primary language or cultural background.<\/span><\/p> Be respectful. <\/b>Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior or poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It\u2019s important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one.<\/span><\/p> Be careful in the words that you choose. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other community members. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior are not acceptable.<\/b> This includes, but is not limited to:<\/span><\/p>\n Moderate your expectations.<\/b> Please respect that community members choose how they spend their time on the project. A thoughtful question about your expectations is preferable to demands for another person’s time.<\/span><\/p> When we disagree, try to understand why. <\/b>Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and PyData is no exception. Try to understand where others are coming from, as seeing a question from their viewpoint may help find a new path forward. And don\u2019t forget that it is human to err: blaming each other doesn\u2019t get us anywhere, while we can learn from mistakes to find better solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n A simple apology can go a long way.<\/b> It can often de-escalate a situation, and telling someone that you are sorry is an act of empathy that doesn\u2019t automatically imply an admission of guilt.<\/span><\/p> If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, please report this in a timely manner. Code of conduct violations reduce the value of the community for everyone and we take them seriously.<\/span><\/p> You can make a personal report by:<\/span><\/p>\n By Email: Send a message to global-coc-report@pydata.org<\/a>.
