 ## Our Pledge

 In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
 contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
 our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
 size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of
 experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance,
 race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

 ## Our Standards

 Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
 include:

 - Using welcoming and inclusive language
 - Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
 - Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
 - Focusing on what is best for the community
 - Showing empathy towards other community members

 Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

 - The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
   advances
 - Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
 - Public or private harassment
 - Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic
   address, without explicit permission
 - Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
   professional setting

 ## Our Responsibilities

 [Community Managers](/members.html#community-managers) are responsible for
 clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take
 appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of
 unacceptable behavior.

 Community Managers 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, or to ban temporarily or permanently any
 contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening,
 offensive, or harmful.

 ## Scope

 This Code of Conduct must be followed by everyone contributing to the Gerrit
 project, regardless of affiliation or position.

 It applies both within project spaces and in public spaces. This Code of Conduct
 also applies outside the project spaces when the Community Managers have a
 reasonable belief that an individual’s behavior may have a negative impact on
 the project or its community.

 ## Conflict Resolution

 We do not believe that all conflict is bad; healthy debate and disagreement
 often yield positive results. However, it is never okay to be disrespectful or
 to engage in behavior that violates the project’s code of conduct.

 If you see someone violating the code of conduct, you are encouraged to address
 the behavior directly with those involved. Many issues can be resolved quickly
 and easily, and this gives people more control over the outcome of their
 dispute. If you are unable to resolve the matter for any reason, or if the
 behavior is threatening or harassing, report it. We are dedicated to providing
 an environment where participants feel welcome and safe.

 Reports should be directed to the [Community Managers](/members.html#community-managers).
 It is their duty to receive and address reported violations of the code of
 conduct. You can reach them via email at
 [gerritcodereview-community-managers@googlegroups.com](mailto:gerritcodereview-community-managers@googlegroups.com).
 This is a group that remains private between the individual community member and
 community managers. If for any reason you are uncomfortable reaching out to the
 community managers, you may also submit an anonymous report
 [here](https://forms.gle/RH5KGwoAKipkR6tS7).

 We will investigate every complaint, but you may not receive a direct response.
 We will use our discretion in determining when and how to follow up on reported
 incidents, which may range from not taking action to permanent expulsion from
 the project and project-sponsored spaces. We will notify the accused of the
 report and provide them an opportunity to discuss it before any action is taken.
 The identity of the reporter will be omitted from the details of the report
 supplied to the accused. In potentially harmful situations, such as ongoing
 harassment or threats to anyone’s safety, we may take action without notice.
