% Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct

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,
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 (e.g. use of gender-neutral [Singular
  They pronouns
](https://gist.github.com/0xabad1dea/8870b192fd1758743f66#file-singularthey-md)
  when referring to people, treating women and non-binary people equally to men,
  and generally being as polite as possible to people that you talk to,
  regardless of how different they may be to you. Treat everyone decently, more
  or less)
* 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
--------------------

Project maintainers 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.

Project maintainers 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 applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
further defined and clarified by project maintainers.

Specifically, in normal circumstances, the scope of this Code of Conduct applies
directly to:

* The IRC channel (#libreboot on Freenode)
* The subreddit (r/libreboot on reddit.com)
* The notabug instance (at <https://notabug.org/libreboot>), which also
  includes bug reports and code review
* The contents of any contributions to Libreboot, including commits to the Git
  repository

Other communications channels are unofficial, and not part of the Libreboot
project.

Enforcement
-----------

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported by contacting the Libreboot project at at the
[#libreboot IRC channel on
Freenode](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreboot). All complaints
will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed
necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated
to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further
details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

Alternatively, where complaints need to be filed privately, the complaint can
be reported to any of these people via IRC private
message (this list is in alphabetical order):

* Alyssa Rosenzweig: **alyssa** on Freenode
* Jason Self: **jxself** on Freenode
* Leah Rowe: **\_4of7** on Freenode
* Paul Kocialkowski: **paulk-X** Freenode (X is variable, for this person.
  check in the channel)
* Swift Geek: **swiftgeek** on Freenode

If the complaint is for abuses on the Libreboot subreddit at
[r/libreboot](https://www.reddit.com/r/libreboot/) then there are a separate
group of moderators whom you can contact, via private message on the Reddit
website:

* hexacat
* pizzaiolo\_
* libreleah

Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
members of the project's leadership.

Treatment of each case will be handled pragmatically, on a case-by-case basis.
