| # Code of Conduct - Open Debates Project | ||
| ## Code of Conduct | ||
|
|
||
| The Open Debates Project is an open-source project that aims to develop mathematical models for the digital verification of argument soundness. To foster a positive and inclusive community, we have established this Code of Conduct, which applies to all projects within the scope of the Open Debates Project. All participants are expected to adhere to these guidelines in order to maintain a friendly and respectful environment. | ||
| **OpenSkill**, is a project committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all contributors. We believe that everyone should feel safe and respected, regardless of their background, identity, or skill level. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Reporting Grievances | ||
| This Code of Conduct outlines the expected behavior for all participants in the OpenSkill project, including contributors, maintainers, users, and anyone interacting with the project. | ||
|
|
||
| If you have any grievances related to any project within the Open Debates Project, such as accusations or concerns about inappropriate behavior, please address them in a private manner. The appropriate channel for reporting grievances is by contacting the Steering Council or the Benevolent Dictator for Life (BDFL) privately. | ||
| ### Our Commitment | ||
|
|
||
| Please do not publicize details of your grievances until after an investigation has concluded. Publicizing grievances prematurely will result in voiding impeachments and the barring of accused members from the community. Additionally, it is important to provide evidence to support any claims of inappropriate behavior to ensure fair and objective evaluations. | ||
| We are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive community for all participants. We strive to foster a space where: | ||
|
|
||
| You can contact the BDFL via email at [email protected] for reporting any grievances. | ||
| * **Respect** is paramount, and all individuals are treated with dignity and consideration. | ||
| * **Collaboration** is encouraged, and everyone feels empowered to contribute to the project. | ||
| * **Openness** is valued, and ideas are shared freely in a constructive manner. | ||
| * **Diversity** is celebrated, and perspectives from all backgrounds are welcomed. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Compliance with Laws | ||

| * **Is offensive** or uses inappropriate language. | ||
