Code of Conduct
|
||
|
||
This Code of Conduct is derived from the 10 Pāramitās of Theravadin Buddhism.
|
||
You can read more about them in Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu’s Ten Perfections: A Study
|
||
Guide [0].
|
||
|
||
1. Generosity (Dāna)
|
||
|
||
Give contributions freely and willingly under the terms of the GNU Affero
|
||
General Public License, version 3 or later, or a compatible license.
|
||
|
||
2. Ethics (Sīla)
|
||
|
||
Do not use nonfree code or uncredited code in contributions. Do not take credit
|
||
for others’ contributions. Make sure to utilize the copyright header and license
|
||
notice on source files to credit yourself and others for their work.
|
||
|
||
3. Renunciation (Nekkhamma)
|
||
|
||
Stay committed to the principles of simplicity and interoperability embodied by
|
||
the project. Keep your personal will and desire out of the project, for it can
|
||
only prove harmful to its success.
|
||
|
||
4. Wisdom (Pañña)
|
||
|
||
Look to established sources for standards, best practices, and important
|
||
implementation details when setting new precedence. Follow the existing
|
||
precedence where it applies.
|
||
|
||
5. Energy (Viriya)
|
||
|
||
Focus on the currently-open, currently-assigned, and currently-in-progress
|
||
issues, pull requests, and other endeavors in order to keep yourself and others
|
||
from being overwhelmed with responsibility, either from your zeal or your
|
||
negligence.
|
||
|
||
If you notice an issue, open an issue as soon as you can. If you see a neglected
|
||
branch, open a pull request or comment on an existing one, if applicable. Be
|
||
diligent in your commitment to making this project work.
|
||
|
||
6. Patience (Khanti)
|
||
|
||
Be patient with maintainers and other contributors. We all have our own lives
|
||
going on and may need significant time to get to things.
|
||
|
||
7. Truthfulness (Sacca)
|
||
|
||
Communicate honestly and openly. Do not embellish facts to get your way. Make
|
||
sure to let maintainers know about any issues along the way and keep ample
|
||
communication channels open.
|
||
|
||
8. Determination (Adhiṭṭhāna)
|
||
|
||
Stay focused on long-term objectives and cultivate attainment to that
|
||
achievement by utilizing to the fullest extent possible the tools available to
|
||
you for managing the workload.
|
||
|
||
9. Loving-Kindness (Mettā)
|
||
|
||
Treat everyone with respect, even if they treat you poorly. This does not mean
|
||
you have to put up with abuse, but make sure to respond with kindness and with
|
||
love in your heart. Support and uplift maintainers and other contributors with
|
||
your words and actions.
|
||
|
||
Do not use angry or hateful language toward contributors, such as demeaning
|
||
phrases and slurs. Make sure that if you do not know the pronouns of a
|
||
contributor to ask for them and, in the meantime, use gender-neutral they/them
|
||
or equivalent pronouns.
|
||
|
||
10. Equanimity (Upekkhā)
|
||
|
||
Keep a balanced perspective on all suggestions and contributions and make
|
||
judgements not from a place of ego and personal preference but on their
|
||
usefulness and suitability to the project. Make sure to keep an eye on the
|
||
bigger picture as implementing individual features may seem intuitive at first
|
||
but scale poorly in practical use. Keep a level head about your own work: it is
|
||
not shameful to make a mistake in this vein, and fixing it usually leads to
|
||
more insight.
