# Citizen Code of Conduct

## 1. Purpose

A primary goal of GraphQL Hive is to be inclusive to the largest number of contributors, with the
most varied and diverse backgrounds possible. As such, we are committed to providing a friendly,
safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, ability,
ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion (or lack thereof).

This code of conduct outlines our expectations for all those who participate in our community, as
well as the consequences for unacceptable behavior.

We invite all those who participate in GraphQL Hive to help us create safe and positive experiences
for everyone.

## 2. Open [Source/Culture/Tech] Citizenship

A supplemental goal of this Code of Conduct is to increase open [source/culture/tech] citizenship by
encouraging participants to recognize and strengthen the relationships between our actions and their
effects on our community.

Communities mirror the societies in which they exist and positive action is essential to counteract
the many forms of inequality and abuses of power that exist in society.

If you see someone who is making an extra effort to ensure our community is welcoming, friendly, and
encourages all participants to contribute to the fullest extent, we want to know.

## 3. Expected Behavior

The following behaviors are expected and requested of all community members:

- Participate in an authentic and active way. In doing so, you contribute to the health and
  longevity of this community.
- Exercise consideration and respect in your speech and actions.
- Attempt collaboration before conflict.
- Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech.
- Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants. Alert community leaders if you
  notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of this Code of Conduct, even if
  they seem inconsequential.
- Remember that community event venues may be shared with members of the public; please be
  respectful to all patrons of these locations.

## 4. Unacceptable Behavior

The following behaviors are considered harassment and are unacceptable within our community:

- Violence, threats of violence or violent language directed against another person.
- Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist or otherwise discriminatory jokes and language.
- Posting or displaying sexually explicit or violent material.
- Posting or threatening to post other people's personally identifying information ("doxing").
- Personal insults, particularly those related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or
  disability.

- Unwelcome sexual attention. This includes, sexualized comments or jokes; inappropriate touching,
  groping, and unwelcomed sexual advances.

## 5. Weapons Policy

No weapons will be allowed at GraphQL Hive events, community spaces, or in other spaces covered by
the scope of this Code of Conduct. Weapons include but are not limited to guns, explosives
(including fireworks), and large knives such as those used for hunting or display, as well as any
other item used for the purpose of causing injury or harm to others. Anyone seen in possession of
one of these items will be asked to leave immediately, and will only be allowed to return without
the weapon. Community members are further expected to comply with all state and local laws on this
matter.

## 6. Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior

Unacceptable behavior from any community member, including sponsors and those with decision-making
authority, will not be tolerated.

Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately.

If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the community organizers may take any action
they deem appropriate, up to and including a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community
without warning (and without refund in the case of a paid event).

## 7. Reporting Guidelines

If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns, please notify a
community organizer as soon as possible. contact@the-guild.dev.

Additionally, community organizers are available to help community members engage with local law
enforcement or to otherwise help those experiencing unacceptable behavior feel safe. In the context
of in-person events, organizers will also provide escorts as desired by the person experiencing
distress.

## 8. Addressing Grievances

If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating this Code of Conduct, you should
notify with a concise description of your grievance. Your grievance will be handled in accordance
with our existing governing policies.
