Open Repositories Anti-Harassment Policy

Open Repositories is dedicated to providing a harassment-free community experience for everyone. Open Repositories was conceived and executed as a collaborative, open source effort from its very beginning, committed to openness and transparency in all that it does: code, designs, discussions. We are equally committed to helpful and respectful communication.

...

We value your participation in the Open Repositories community and your support in keeping the OR community a safe, welcoming, and friendly space for fellow participants!

Protocol for Conflict Resolution

  1. Report

    If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a local meeting organizer, a community member you trust, or the Open Repositories Steering Committee immediately.
     

  2. Escalate

    If you are at a meeting or other event, find an event organizer, or a representative of the Steering Committee. He or she will assist you. Open Repositories meeting organizers can be identified by their name badges, and will help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the meeting/conference.

    If you have been harassed over email, you may send email to the Open Repositories Steering Committee; their names are available on the OR wiki.
     

  3. Resolve

    If incident results in corrective action, the community should support those harmed by the incident, either publicly or privately (whatever individuals are comfortable with).

    Should an individual aiming to help a victim of harassment encounter issues following the anti-harassment policy and protocol, that individual should engage the community about these issues. Then, the community should revise the policy or protocol appropriately to ensure a safe and welcoming community in which harassment is not tolerated.
