# Project CHIP Open Source Code of Conduct

This Project CHIP Open Source Code of Conduct applies to all those contributing
to, participating in, or maintaining the Project CHIP open source project,
including Zigbee Alliance members and non-members.

## Our Pledge

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in our project and our
community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, 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 behavior that contributes 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

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

-   The use of violent threats, abusive, discriminatory, or derogatory language
-   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
-   Posting of violent content
-   Engaging in unwanted physical contact
-   Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
    professional setting
-   Advocating for or encouraging any of the above behaviors

## Our Responsibilities

Project maintainers 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 within all project spaces, and it also applies when
an individual is representing the project or its community in public spaces.
Examples of representing a 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
a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.

## Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
reported by contacting the Project CHIP open source team at [INSERT EMAIL
ADDRESS]. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a
response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The
Project CHIP open source team should 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 Project
CHIP open source leadership.
