 Community Code of Conduct
--------------------------
+=========================
-
+
-Ansible’s community welcomes users of all types, backgrounds, and skill levels. Please treat others as you expect to be treated,
+Every community can be strengthened by a diverse variety of viewpoints, insights,
-keep discussions positive, and avoid discrimination of all kinds, profanity, allegations of Cthulhu worship, or engaging in
+opinions, skillsets, and skill levels. However, with diversity comes the potential for
-controversial debates (except vi vs emacs is cool).
+disagreement and miscommunication. The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to ensure that
-
+disagreements and differences of opinion are conducted respectfully and on their own
-The same expectations apply to community events as they do to online interactions.
+merits, without personal attacks or other behavior that might create an unsafe or
-
+unwelcoming environment.
-Posts to mailing lists  should remain focused around Ansible and IT automation. Abuse of these community guidelines will not be
+
-tolerated and may result in banning from community resources.
+These policies are not designed to be a comprehensive set of Things You Cannot Do. We ask
-
+that you treat your fellow community members with respect and courtesy, and in general,
+Don't Be A Jerk. This Code of Conduct is meant to be followed in spirit as much as in
+letter and is not exhaustive.
+
+All Ansible events and participants therein are governed by this Code of Conduct and
+anti-harassment policy. We expect organizers to enforce these guidelines throughout all events,
+and we expect attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers to help ensure a safe
+environment for our whole community. Specifically, this Code of Conduct covers
+participation in all Ansible-related forums and mailing lists, code and documentation
+contributions, public IRC channels, private correspondence, and public meetings.
+
+Ansible community members are...
+
+**Considerate**
+
+Contributions of every kind have far-ranging consequences. Just as your work depends on
+the work of others, decisions you make surrounding your contributions to the Ansible
+community will affect your fellow community members. You are strongly encouraged to take
+those consequences into account while making decisions.
+
+**Patient**
+
+Asynchronous communication can come with its own frustrations, even in the most responsive
+of communities. Please remember that our community is largely built on volunteered time,
+and that questions, contributions, and requests for support may take some time to receive
+a response. Repeated "bumps" or "reminders" in rapid succession are not good displays of
+patience. Additionally, it is considered poor manners to ping a specific person with
+general questions. Pose your question to the community as a whole, and wait patiently for
+a response.
+
+**Respectful**
+
+Every community inevitably has disagreements, but remember that it is
+possible to disagree respectfully and courteously. Disagreements are never an excuse for
+rudeness, hostility, threatening behavior, abuse (verbal or physical), or personal attacks.
+
+**Kind**
+
+Everyone should feel welcome in the Ansible community, regardless of their background.
+Please be courteous, respectful and polite to fellow community members. Do not make or
+post offensive comments related to skill level, gender, gender identity or expression,
+sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion.
+Sexualized images or imagery, real or implied violence, intimidation, oppression,
+stalking, sustained disruption of activities, publishing the personal information of
+others without explicit permission to do so, unwanted physical contact, and unwelcome
+sexual attention are all strictly prohibited.  Additionally, you are encouraged not to
+make assumptions about the background or identity of your fellow community members.
+
+**Inquisitive**
+
+The only stupid question is the one that does not get asked. We
+encourage our users to ask early and ask often. Rather than asking whether you can ask a
+question (the answer is always yes!), instead, simply ask your question. You are
+encouraged to provide as many specifics as possible. Code snippets in the form of Gists or
+other paste site links are almost always needed in order to get the most helpful answers.
+Refrain from pasting multiple lines of code directly into the IRC channels - instead use
+gist.github.com or another paste site to provide code snippets.
+
+**Helpful**
+
+The Ansible community is committed to being a welcoming environment for all users,
+regardless of skill level. We were all beginners once upon a time, and our community
+cannot grow without an environment where new users feel safe and comfortable asking questions.
+It can become frustrating to answer the same questions repeatedly; however, community
+members are expected to remain courteous and helpful to all users equally, regardless of
+skill or knowledge level. Avoid providing responses that prioritize snideness and snark over
+useful information. At the same time, everyone is expected to read the provided
+documentation thoroughly. We are happy to answer questions, provide strategic guidance,
+and suggest effective workflows, but we are not here to do your job for you.
+
+Anti-harassment policy
+----------------------
+Harassment includes (but is not limited to) all of the following behaviors:
+
+- Offensive comments related to gender (including gender expression and identity), age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, and religion
+- Derogatory terminology including words commonly known to be slurs
+- Posting sexualized images or imagery in public spaces
+- Deliberate intimidation
+- Stalking
+- Posting others' personal information without explicit permission
+- Sustained disruption of talks or other events
+- Inappropriate physical contact
+- Unwelcome sexual attention
+
+Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
+Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should
+not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Meetup organizing staff and
+other volunteer organizers should not use sexualized attire or otherwise create a
+sexualized environment at community events.
+
+In addition to the behaviors outlined above, continuing to behave a certain way after you
+have been asked to stop also constitutes harassment, even if that behavior is not
+specifically outlined in this policy. It is considerate and respectful to stop doing
+something after you have been asked to stop, and all community members are expected to
+comply with such requests immediately.
+
+Policy violations
+-----------------
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by
+contacting codeofconduct@ansible.com, to any channel operator in the community IRC
+channels, or to the local organizers of an event. Meetup organizers are encouraged to
+prominently display points of contact for reporting unacceptable behavior at local events.
+
+If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the meetup organizers may take any action
+they deem appropriate. These actions may include but are not limited to warning the
+offender, expelling the offender from the event, and barring the offender from future
+community events.
+
+Organizers will be happy to help participants contact security or local law enforcement,
+provide escorts to an alternate location, or otherwise assist those experiencing
+harassment to feel safe for the duration of the meetup. We value the safety and well-being
+of our community members and want everyone to feel welcome at our events, both online and
+offline.
+
+We expect all participants, organizers, speakers, and attendees to follow these policies at
+our all of our event venues and event-related social events.
