Code of Conduct

Our Pledge

We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our educational project a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy learning community.

Our Standards

Examples of Behavior That Contributes to a Positive Environment

Be Welcoming:

  • Use inclusive language
  • Welcome newcomers warmly
  • Assume good intentions
  • Remember everyone is learning

Be Respectful:

  • Value diverse perspectives and experiences
  • Give and accept constructive feedback gracefully
  • Focus on what's best for the community
  • Show empathy toward others

Be Collaborative:

  • Help others learn and grow
  • Share knowledge freely
  • Credit others' work appropriately
  • Work together toward solutions

Be Professional:

  • Keep discussions focused and on-topic
  • Be patient with those still learning
  • Avoid off-topic debates
  • Respect time and effort of contributors

Examples of Unacceptable Behavior

  • Harassment, intimidating behavior, or discrimination

  • Publishing others' private information without permission
  • Unwelcome sexual attention or advances
  • Deliberately making others feel unwelcome
  • Disruptive behavior in discussions or events
  • Other conduct that could reasonably be considered inappropriate

Educational Context

This is a learning environment. Remember:

  • All skill levels are welcome - from beginner to expert
  • Questions are encouraged - "dumb questions" don't exist
  • Mistakes are learning opportunities - we all make them
  • Confusion is normal - AI agents are complex
  • Patience is key - teaching and learning take time

Enforcement Responsibilities

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior. They will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior deemed inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned with this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, including:

  • GitHub repositories (issues, PRs, discussions)
  • Course delivery environments
  • Email communications
  • Social media interactions related to the project
  • Any other spaces where you represent this project

This also applies when an individual is officially representing the project in public spaces, such as using an official project email address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an event.

Reporting Issues

If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior, or have concerns about conduct:
