# Google Open Source Community Guidelines
|
|
|
|
|
|
At Google, we recognize and celebrate the creativity and collaboration of open
|
|
|
source contributors and the diversity of skills, experiences, cultures, and
|
|
|
opinions they bring to the projects and communities they participate in.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Every one of Google's open source projects and communities are inclusive
|
|
|
environments, based on treating all individuals respectfully, regardless of
|
|
|
gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities,
|
|
|
neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race,
|
|
|
age, religion, or similar personal characteristic.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We value diverse opinions, but we value respectful behavior more.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Respectful behavior includes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Being considerate, kind, constructive, and helpful.
|
|
|
* Not engaging in demeaning, discriminatory, harassing, hateful, sexualized, or
|
|
|
physically threatening behavior, speech, and imagery.
|
|
|
* Not engaging in unwanted physical contact.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some Google open source projects [may adopt][] an explicit project code of
|
|
|
conduct, which may have additional detailed expectations for participants. Most
|
|
|
of those projects will use our [modified Contributor Covenant][].

## Resolve peacefully
|
|
|
|
|
|
We do not believe that all conflict is necessarily bad; healthy debate and
|
|
|
disagreement often yields positive results. However, it is never okay to be
|
|
|
disrespectful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you see someone behaving disrespectfully, 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Reporting problems
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some Google open source projects may adopt a project-specific code of conduct.
|
|
|
In those cases, a Google employee will be identified as the Project Steward,
|
|
|
who will receive and handle reports of code of conduct violations. In the event
|
|
|
that a project hasn’t identified a Project Steward, you can report problems by
|
|
|
emailing opensource@google.com.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
