ArduPilot Developer Code of Conduct
===================================
Rev 1.0 Jan 2nd 2018
Our Aim
-------
ArduPilot aims to enable the creation and use of trusted, autonomous,
unmanned vehicle systems for the peaceful benefit of all.
Our Team
--------
The ArduPilot team is global. It consists of the Development Team plus
many contributors, from many fields and many places. By choosing to be
part of the ArduPilot Development Team, you choose to accept this Code
of Conduct.
Our Pledge
----------
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
developers and maintainers pledge to:
- Endeavour 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, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or
sexual identity and orientation.
- Endeavour to understand the intent of development activities they
undertake, where there may be reason to think that the vehicle may
be used as a weapon or in an application where it is effectively in
control of human life.
- Not knowingly support or facilitate the weaponization of systems
using ArduPilot
- ArduPilot is NOT certified for use in applications where ArduPilot
is effectively in control of human lives. Members of the development
team must not knowingly assist in projects where ArduPilot will be
in control of human lives. “In control of human lives” includes but
isnt limited to manned aircraft.
Our Standards
-------------
Examples of behavior that contributes to achieving the aims of ArduPilot
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
Examples of unacceptable behavior by contributors 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 others private information, such as a physical or
electronic address, without explicit permission
- Modifying ArduPilot code to intentionally support weaponization
- Knowingly designing, testing or using weaponized systems running
ArduPilot
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in
a public or professional setting
Our Responsibilities
--------------------
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 behaviors that they
deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
Scope
-----
This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public
spaces when an individual is representing the ArduPilot project or its
community. Examples of representing the ArduPilot project or community
include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an
official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative
at an online or offline event. Representation of the ArduPilot project
may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
In addition, the rules regarding weaponization and manned vehicles using
ArduPilot apply regardless of whether you are representing the ArduPilot
project at the time.
Enforcement
-----------
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior, and
other actions not consistent with this Code of Conduct may be reported
by contacting the project team at <ardupilot.devel@gmail.com>. All
complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a
response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances.
The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to
the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement
policies may be posted separately. Project maintainers who do not follow
or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or
permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the projects
leadership team.
