PHP Project Code of Conduct (CoC)

Taken from #14:

  1. The CoC is to provide community guidelines for creating and enforcing a safe, respectful, productive, and collaborative place for any person who is willing to contribute in a safe, respectful, productive and collaborative way.
  2. The CoC is not about being offended. One should always assume good intentions. As with any diverse community, anyone can — and probably will — get offended at anything.
  3. A safe, respectful, productive and collaborative environment is free of personal attacks and disparaging remarks of any kind, this includes (but is not limited to): level of experience, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, beliefs, politics, and nationality.
  4. Any sustained disruption of the collaborative space (mailing lists, wiki, bug tracker, official social media accounts) or when representing the PHP project shall be construed as a violation of the CoC and appropriate action will be taken by the CoC committee.
  5. The CoC is only about interaction with the PHP community. Your private and public lives outside of the PHP community are your own. However, we reserve the right to take your public conduct into account when considering your project related conduct.

Encouraged Behaviour

Examples of encouraged behaviour include:

  • Discuss and disagree respectfully concerning new features, changes, and technical implementations (e.g. discussing any RFC)
  • Objective and qualified responses regarding why features or their implementations are lacking or otherwise not suitable
  • Mentor newcomers to the project
  • Behave professionally
  • Exercise consideration of the many different world views present and be respectful of them in your speech and actions
  • Attempt collaboration before conflict, and attempt to improve upon ideas presented, rather than dismissing them

Our expectation is that we will treat each other, and others our community interacts with, with consideration, empathy, and respect. Our speech and behaviour will be guided by a desire to create and maintain an inclusive community purposed towards sharing knowledge and encouraging enthusiasm for solving problems.

Unacceptable Behaviour

Examples of unacceptable behaviour by participants include:

  • The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances
  • Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
  • Public or private harassment
  • Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic addresses, without explicit permission (AKA doxing)
  • Coercing other members to vote for a particular option on an RFC, or to change or withdraw an RFC
  • Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

Application of the Code of Conduct

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviours that they deem threatening, offensive, or harmful.

This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community — specifically, this means anywhere you are using your @php.net email address (e.g. via email or on a contact me slide), or are otherwise presenting yourself as an official representative of the PHP project.

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behaviour may be reported by contacting a project maintainer at codeofconduct@php.net. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated as outlined [here](#appropriatelink) and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. Maintainers are obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to both the reporter of an incident, and the accused, and expect all parties to assist in ensuring this.
