| 1 | +# Google Open Source Community Guidelines |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +At Google, we recognize and celebrate the creativity and collaboration of open |
| 4 | +source contributors and the diversity of skills, experiences, cultures, and |
| 5 | +opinions they bring to the projects and communities they participate in. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Every one of Google's open source projects and communities are inclusive |
| 8 | +environments, based on treating all individuals respectfully, regardless of |
| 9 | +gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disabilities, |
| 10 | +neurodiversity, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, race, |
| 11 | +age, religion, or similar personal characteristic. |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +We value diverse opinions, but we value respectful behavior more. |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +Respectful behavior includes: |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +* Being considerate, kind, constructive, and helpful. |
| 18 | +* Not engaging in demeaning, discriminatory, harassing, hateful, sexualized, or |
| 19 | + physically threatening behavior, speech, and imagery. |
| 20 | +* Not engaging in unwanted physical contact. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +Some Google open source projects [may adopt][] an explicit project code of |
| 23 | +conduct, which may have additional detailed expectations for participants. Most |
| 24 | +of those projects will use our [modified Contributor Covenant][]. |

| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## Resolve peacefully |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +We do not believe that all conflict is necessarily bad; healthy debate and |
| 32 | +disagreement often yields positive results. However, it is never okay to be |
| 33 | +disrespectful. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +If you see someone behaving disrespectfully, you are encouraged to address the |
| 36 | +behavior directly with those involved. Many issues can be resolved quickly and |
| 37 | +easily, and this gives people more control over the outcome of their dispute. |
| 38 | +If you are unable to resolve the matter for any reason, or if the behavior is |
| 39 | +threatening or harassing, report it. We are dedicated to providing an |
| 40 | +environment where participants feel welcome and safe. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +## Reporting problems |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +Some Google open source projects may adopt a project-specific code of conduct. |
| 45 | +In those cases, a Google employee will be identified as the Project Steward, |
| 46 | +who will receive and handle reports of code of conduct violations. In the event |
| 47 | +that a project hasn’t identified a Project Steward, you can report problems by |
| 48 | +emailing opensource@google.com. |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +We will investigate every complaint, but you may not receive a direct response. |
| 51 | +We will use our discretion in determining when and how to follow up on reported |
| 52 | +incidents, which may range from not taking action to permanent expulsion from |
| 53 | +the project and project-sponsored spaces. We will notify the accused of the |
| 54 | +report and provide them an opportunity to discuss it before any action is |
| 55 | +taken. The identity of the reporter will be omitted from the details of the |
| 56 | +report supplied to the accused. In potentially harmful situations, such as |
| 57 | +ongoing harassment or threats to anyone's safety, we may take action without |
| 58 | +notice. |
