one-spa Code of Conduct

The one-spa code of conduct defines the rules that all one-spa maintainers and community members must follow in one-spa related online and in-person spaces and interactions. Violation of the code of conduct may result in bans, removal, or other disciplinary action.

Harassment and Discrimination​

Harassment within the one-spa community is forbidden. The one-spa open source community is built on goodwill across people from various cultures and groups.

Harassment can involve (but is not limited to) unwanted communication, not leaving someone alone, online or in-person stalking, teasing, doxing, the use of slurs, and various other behaviors. Any person within the one-spa community who is harassed should report it, as defined below.

Discrimination against one-spa community members by the core team or other members is also forbidden.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion​

The one-spa community hopes to invite and include diverse peoples to participate, both as community members and leaders. The open source software world is often dominated by rich, White, English-speaking men, which creates problematic dynamics for people of other groups. We hope to counteract those dynamics via a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The one-spa community is committed to intersectional consideration and appropriate accommodation for people of various identities. We wish the community to be safe from discrimination and harassment. At least the following factors of someone's identity are protected and will be considered:

  • race
  • sex
  • languages spoken / English-proficiency
  • place of residence
  • wealth
  • sexual orientation
  • gender identity and expression (pronouns are respected in our community)
  • religious identity
  • ethnic identity
  • physical disability
  • mental disability and/or neurodivergence
  • software experience level / technical ability

Behaviors that exhibit any of the following will not be tolerated:

  • white supremacy
  • sexism
  • misogyny
  • Western/American/European supremacy
  • homophobia, biphobia, lesbophobia, transphobia, queerphobia, acephobia, arophobia, and any other anti-LGBTQIA+ bigotry
  • pedophilia
  • nonconsensual sexualization or romantic advances

We encourage any one-spa community member who experiences discrimination or harassment to report it, even if the basis of the discrimination or harassment isn't listed above.

Direct Messages​

Direct messages and direct emails to one-spa's maintainers are discouraged. Please use publicly visible channels instead, such as public Github issues. Public visibility makes it easier for the interaction to be safe and avoid problematic dynamics.

Direct messages with others within one-spa spaces should remain appropriate. Communication in one-spa related online spaces should aim to be safe for software developers of any age.

Reporting and Arbitration​

To report harassment, open a report with the one-spa maintainers on the project's GitHub repository.

One Spa's maintainers will review the report. Witnesses or experts who can help understand the situation may be brought in to evaluate the situation. Community members found to have harassed or discriminated against another member may be warned, limited, or banned. To the extent possible, the one-spa community aims to be a safe place.
