1 # Chromium Code of Conduct
3 Google and the Chromium team are committed to preserving and fostering a
4 diverse, welcoming community. Below is our community code of conduct, which
5 applies to our repos and organizations, issue trackers, mailing lists,
6 blog content, and any other Chromium-supported communication group, as
7 well as any private communication initiated in the context of these
8 spaces. This code of conduct must be followed by everyone contributing to
9 the Chromium project, regardless of affiliation or position.
11 Simply put, community discussions should be
13 * respectful and kind;
15 * about features and code, not the individuals involved.
17 ## Be respectful and constructive.
19 Treat everyone with respect. Build on each other's ideas. Each of us has the
20 right to enjoy our experience and participate without fear of harassment,
21 discrimination, or condescension, whether blatant or subtle. Remember that
22 Chromium is a geographically distributed team and that you may not be
23 communicating with someone in their primary language. We all get frustrated
24 when working on hard problems, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn
25 into personal attacks.
27 ## Speak up if you see or hear something.
29 You are empowered to politely engage when you feel that you or others are
30 disrespected. The person making you feel uncomfortable may not be aware of what
31 they are doing - politely bringing their behavior to their attention is
34 If you are uncomfortable speaking up, or feel that your concerns are not being
35 duly considered, you can email community@chromium.org to request involvement
36 from a community manager. All concerns shared with community managers will be
37 kept confidential, but you may also submit an anonymous report [here](https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe-LDjW9eIJ-TpI2poZxnGtU-SvUWkFZc8x0aiKGY1s7NKPdA/viewform?c=0&w=1).
38 Please note that without a way to contact you, an anonymous report may be
39 difficult to act on. You may also create a throwaway account to report. In
40 cases where a public response is deemed necessary, the identities of victims
41 and reporters will remain confidential unless those individuals instruct us
44 While all reports will be taken seriously, the Chromium community managers may
45 not act on complaints that they feel are not violations of this code of
48 ## We will not tolerate harassment of any kind, including but not limited to:
52 * Encouraging a person to engage in self-harm.
53 * Sustained disruption or derailing of threads, channels, lists, etc.
54 * Offensive or violent comments, jokes or otherwise
55 * Inappropriate sexual content
56 * Unwelcome sexual or otherwise aggressive attention
57 * Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease
58 * Distribution or threat of distribution of people's personally identifying
59 information, AKA “doxing”
61 ## Consequences for failing to comply with this policy
63 Consequences for failing to comply with this policy may include, at the sole
64 discretion of the Chromium community managers:
66 * a request for an apology;
67 * a private or public warning or reprimand;
68 * a temporary ban from the mailing list, blog, Chromium repository or
69 organization, or other Chromium-supported communication group, including
70 loss of committer status;
71 * a permanent ban from any of the above, or from all current and future
72 Chromium-supported or Google-supported communities, including loss of
75 Participants warned to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply
76 immediately; failure to do so will result in an escalation of consequences.
