Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
  --------------------------------------
  Our Pledge

We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in
our community 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 community.

# Our Standards

Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
community include:

-   Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
-   Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
-   Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
-   Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our
    mistakes, and learning from the experience
-   Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
    overall community

Examples of unacceptable behavior include:

-   The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
    advances of any kind
-   Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or
    political attacks
-   Public or private harassment
-   Publishing others\' private information, such as a physical or email
    address, without their explicit permission
-   Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in
    a professional setting

# Enforcement Responsibilities

Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our
standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair
corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem
inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Community leaders 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, and will
communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.

# Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also
applies when an individual is officially representing the community in
public spaces. Examples of representing our community include using an
official e-mail address, posting via an official social media account,
or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.

# Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may
be reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
<matplotlib-coc@numfocus.org> which is monitored by the [CoC
subcommittee](https://matplotlib.org/governance/people.html#coc-subcommittee)
or a report can be made using the [NumFOCUS Code of Conduct report
form](https://numfocus.typeform.com/to/ynjGdT). If community leaders
cannot come to a resolution about enforcement, reports will be escalated
to the NumFocus Code of Conduct committee (<conduct@numfocus.org>). All
complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.

All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security
of the reporter of any incident.

# Enforcement Guidelines

Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in
determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of
this Code of Conduct:

## 1. Correction

**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior
deemed unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.

providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation
of why the behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be
requested.

**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
actions.

**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction

temporary or permanent ban.

including sustained inappropriate behavior.
