| 3 | +## 1. Purpose |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +A primary goal of Phantom Types is to be inclusive to the largest number of |
| 6 | +contributors, with the most varied and diverse backgrounds possible. As such, we are |
| 7 | +committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of |
| 8 | +gender, sexual orientation, ability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion (or |
| 9 | +lack thereof). |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +This code of conduct outlines our expectations for all those who participate in our |
| 12 | +community, as well as the consequences for unacceptable behavior. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +We invite all those who participate in Phantom Types to help us create safe and positive |
| 15 | +experiences for everyone. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## 2. Open [Source/Culture/Tech] Citizenship |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +A supplemental goal of this Code of Conduct is to increase open [source/culture/tech] |
| 20 | +citizenship by encouraging participants to recognize and strengthen the relationships |
| 21 | +between our actions and their effects on our community. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +Communities mirror the societies in which they exist and positive action is essential to |
| 24 | +counteract the many forms of inequality and abuses of power that exist in society. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +If you see someone who is making an extra effort to ensure our community is welcoming, |
| 27 | +friendly, and encourages all participants to contribute to the fullest extent, we want |
| 28 | +to know. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## 3. Expected Behavior |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +The following behaviors are expected and requested of all community members: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +- Participate in an authentic and active way. In doing so, you contribute to the health |
| 35 | + and longevity of this community. |
| 36 | +- Exercise consideration and respect in your speech and actions. |
| 37 | +- Attempt collaboration before conflict. |
| 38 | +- Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech. |
| 39 | +- Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants. Alert community |
| 40 | + leaders if you notice a dangerous situation, someone in distress, or violations of |
| 41 | + this Code of Conduct, even if they seem inconsequential. |
| 42 | +- Remember that community event venues may be shared with members of the public; please |
| 43 | + be respectful to all patrons of these locations. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## 4. Unacceptable Behavior |

| 52 | + language. |
| 53 | +- Posting or displaying sexually explicit or violent material. |
| 54 | +- Posting or threatening to post other people's personally identifying information |

| 57 | + religion, or disability. |

| 70 | +covered by the scope of this Code of Conduct. Weapons include but are not limited to |
| 71 | +guns, explosives (including fireworks), and large knives such as those used for hunting |
| 72 | +or display, as well as any other item used for the purpose of causing injury or harm to |
| 73 | +others. Anyone seen in possession of one of these items will be asked to leave |
| 74 | +immediately, and will only be allowed to return without the weapon. Community members |
| 75 | +are further expected to comply with all state and local laws on this matter. |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +## 6. Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior |
| 78 | + |

| 86 | +expulsion from the community without warning (and without refund in the case of a paid |
| 87 | +event). |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +## 7. Addressing Grievances |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating this Code of Conduct, |

| 102 | +occurring outside the scope of community activities when such behavior has the potential |
| 103 | +to adversely affect the safety and well-being of community members. |
