NAME

       Dancer::Policy - Dancer core and community policy and standards of conduct

VERSION

       version 1.3202

DESCRIPTION

       This document describes various policies (most notably, the standards of conduct) for the
       Dancer core developers and broad community.

       This is what we expect from our community and ourselves and these are the standards of
       behavior we set forth in order to make sure the community remains a safe space for all of
       its members, without exception.

STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

       These standards applies anywhere the community comes together as a group.  This includes,
       but is not limited to, the Dancer IRC channel, the Dancer mailing list, Dancer hackathons,
       and Dancer conferences.

       •   Always be civil.

       •   Heed the moderators.

       •   Abuse is not tolerated.

       Civility is simple: stick to the facts while avoiding demeaning remarks and sarcasm. It is
       not enough to be factual. You must also be civil. Responding in kind to incivility is not
       acceptable.

       If the list moderators tell you that you are not being civil, carefully consider how your
       words have appeared before responding in any way. You may protest, but repeated protest in
       the face of a repeatedly reaffirmed decision is not acceptable.

       Unacceptable behavior will result in a public and clearly identified warning.  Repeated
       unacceptable behavior will result in removal from the mailing list and revocation of any
       commit bit. The first removal is for one month. Subsequent removals will double in length.
       After six months with no warning, a user's ban length is reset. Removals, like warnings,
       are public.

       The list of moderators consists of all active core developers. This includes, in
       alphabetical order, Alberto Simo~es, David Precious, Mickey Nasriachi, Russell Jenkins,
       Sawyer X, Stefan Hornburg (Racke), Steven Humphrey, and Yanick Champoux.

       This list might additionally grow to active members of the community who have stepped up
       to help handle abusive behavior. If this should happen, this document would be updated to
       include their names.

       Additionally, it's important to understand the self-regulating nature we foster at the
       Dancer community. This means anyone and everyone in the community - in the channel, on the
       list, at an event - has the ability to call out unacceptable behavior and incivility to
       others in the community.

       Moderators are responsibe for issuing warnings and take disciplenary actions, but anyone
       may - and is encouraged - to publicly make note of unacceptable treatment of others.

       As a core principle, abuse is never tolerated. One cannot berate, insult, debase, deride,
       put-down, or vilify anyone, or act towards anyone in a way intending to hurt them.

       The community specifically considers as abuse any attempts to otherize anyone, whether by
       their technical skill, knowledge, gender, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic.

       The community aims to maintain a safe space for everyone, in any forum it has. If you ever
       feel this core principle has been compromised, you are strongly urged to contact a
       moderator. We are always here.

       Remember, this is your community, as much as it is anyone else's.
