arlingtonruby / code-of-conduct

A code of conduct for being a nice human being in a Ruby community and just in general.

#Code of conduct All people who choose to be a part of our community are required to agree with the following code of conduct.

We expect everyone to help create a safe, positive, and welcoming environment for everyone.

TL;DR: Be nice with each other. MINASWAN

##The whole shebang Our community is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion (or lack thereof), or any other intrinsic characteristic that makes us who we are.

Harassment is the expression of ideas, through actions or words, intended or known to shame, intimidate, or harm another person. Harassment hurts people, and by extension destroys communities.

Harassment may include, but is not limited to, offensive verbal comments related to any of those intrinsic characteristics by which we define our humanity, the display of sexually explicit images, deliberate physical intimidation, stalking, photography or recording without consent, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Our community does not tolerate harassment in any form.

Sexual, violent, and/or hateful language and imagery is simply not appropriate for any of our events, or venues. That includes conferences, meetups, talks, workshops, parties and soirees, Twitter, IRC, email lists, ham radio conversations, etc.

Community members asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. This includes longtime members, newbies, friends who come along to events, sponsors, and organizers.

People that violate our code may be sanctioned or expelled from our community events, without a refund, at the discretion of the community organisers.

##Need Help? If you have questions, comments, or concerns related to violations of our code, please be in touch with our community's organizers.
