Code of Conduct

OpenAPI Initiative Code of Conduct

The Linux Foundation

Effective November 24, 2020

The OpenAPI Initiative (OAI) is an open source Linux Foundation project and home of the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) released under the Apache 2.0 license. As contributors, maintainers, and participants in this project, we want to foster an open and welcoming environment. We pledge to make participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Our Standards

Examples of behaviors that contribute to creating a positive environment include:

  • Using welcoming and inclusive language

  • Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences

  • Gracefully accepting constructive criticism

  • Focusing on what is best for the community

  • Showing empathy towards other community members

  • Assuming the best intent from others

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

  • The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances

  • Making unsolicited, insulting or derogatory comments, including personal (i.e., ad hominem) or political attacks to create conflict (e.g., trolling)

  • Public or private harassment

  • Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission (e.g., doxxing)

  • Threatening, offensive, harmful comments, or behavior

  • Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

Our Responsibilities

The Code of Conduct Committee is responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and is expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies to OAI project spaces, as well as interactions in public spaces. Project spaces include, but are not limited to, official OAI code repositories, Slack, mailing lists, meetings, and events. Public spaces may include venues where an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of this include a community member's email communication, forum posts, social media activity, or acting as a representative at an online or offline event. In addition, violations of this code of conduct outside of these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate in them.

Enforcement

To report instances of abuse, harassment, or otherwise unacceptable behavior, contact conduct@openapis.org. We are committed to maintaining the confidentiality of anyone reporting an incident. The Code of Conduct Committee will review and investigate all complaints, responding as deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. For incidents relating to offline events, we aim to respond to reports within 24 hours, and for incidents relating to online activities, we aim to respond to reports within 7 days.

The Code of Conduct Committee has 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 take other appropriate action as deemed necessary for behaviors contrary to the standards listed above. In the case of offline or in-person events, if a participant engages in behavior that is not aligned to this Code of Conduct, the committee may take action, such as warning the offender, banning the offender from various online spaces (temporary or permanent), removing the offender from an event with no refund, or other options deemed appropriate.

Further details of specific enforcement policies are currently being drafted. When these details are completed we will post updates to our website for transparency.

Project maintainers who do not report possible incidents or follow responses in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by the Code of Conduct Committee.

Events

Some OpenAPI events are governed by the Linux Foundation Code of Conduct (E.g. API Specifications Conference) and will be listed on the event page. The OAI Code of Conduct is designed to be compatible with the above policy and also includes more details on responding to incidents.

Attribution

This code of conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 1.4 and the PyCon 2019 Code of Conduct.
