# Code of Conduct ## 1. Purpose A primary goal of `hyperlog-simd` 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. ## 2. 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. ## 3. 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. - Inappropriate photography or recording. - Inappropriate physical contact. You should have someone's consent before touching them. - Unwelcome sexual attention. This includes sexualized comments or jokes; inappropriate touching, groping, and unwelcome sexual advances. - Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following (online or in person). - Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior. ## 4. Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior Unacceptable behavior from any community member, including 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. ## 5. 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. You can report it directly via GitHub's issues or reach out privately if required. ## 6.
