As part of our core values, Corning believes in the fundamental dignity of the individual and the individuals right to participate fully. Those beliefs extend into our participation in the open source community, and we ask that anyone contributing to open source projects we maintain respect those values.
We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:
-
Assume positive intent
-
Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
-
Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
-
Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
-
Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
-
Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
-
The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind
-
Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
-
Public or private harassment
-
Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
-
Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
Project leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
Project leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.
This Code of Conduct applies to all projects that are in the Corning Inc GitHub organization, and also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces. Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the project leaders. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and appropriate action will be taken. All project leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.
This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 2.0, available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/0/code_of_conduct.html.
