Overview
Overview
DD&I spaces (these include online spaces like the slack channel, github repo, and physical spaces like DD&I-organized BoFs at events or DD&I tables in event exhibit halls) are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender and gender identity, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion (or lack thereof). We do not tolerate harassment of Participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate.
Drupal Diversity & Inclusion (DD&I) spaces include online spaces such as the Slack channel and Github repositories. Also included are physical spaces, such as DD&I-organized sessions at events, or DD&I tables in event exhibit halls.

Participant Guidelines
Participant Guidelines
Written specifically for DD&I slack, but to be adapted for other spaces.
Written specifically for DD&I Slack, but to be adapted for other spaces. These guidelines apply to all DD&I spaces, as applicable.
Listen actively, read carefully, and be understanding. If joining a conversation, read the backlog. Give other Participants the opportunity to communicate effectively. It can be helpful to assume good intent behind other Participants' statements. The channel includes a very diverse population, with Participants from all over the globe. Cultural and lingual quirks do exist.
Listen actively, read carefully, and be understanding.
Speak from your own experience, instead of generalizing, and recognize the worth of others' experience. Use "I" instead of "they," "we," and "you". All Participants should recognize that all other Participants have their own experiences. Instead of invalidating another Participant's story with your own spin on their experience, share your own story and experience.
If joining a conversation, read the backlog. Give other Participants the opportunity to communicate effectively.
Challenge ideas, feelings, concerns, or one another by asking questions, but refrain from personal attacks -- focus on ideas first. Verbal challenges, backhanded insults, gender/race/region stereotyping, etc. are often exclusionary and should be avoided.
It can be helpful to assume good intent behind other Participants' statements. DD&I is very diverse, with Participants from all over the globe. Be aware of cultural and linguistic quirks.
Participate to the fullest of your ability and availability. Community growth depends on the inclusion of individual voices. The channel wants you to speak up and speak out. Everyone has a different amount of time to contribute. We value participation here if you can give 5 minutes or 5 hours.
There are also many Participants who are new to this space. Assume that they have good intent but have not yet mastered the language or ideas. We want to help them!
It is not a goal of inclusion to agree. The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of each other and act on that understanding with empathy to create a more welcoming, inclusive, and safe environment.
Speak from your own experience, instead of generalizing. Recognize the worth of others' experience. Try not to speak for others.
Be conscious of language differences and unintended connotations. "Text is hard". A statement said in jest about "apples" can carry connotations above and beyond any intended verbiage, even when talking about "what is a good snack?" Ask questions to clarify meanings and intentions.
Use "I" instead of "they," "we," and "you".
Acknowledge individuals' identities. Use stated names and pronouns, do not challenge a person’s race, sexuality, disability, etc. If you are unsure how to address someone, for example what pronouns to use, just ask them discreetly and respectfully.
All Participants should recognize that all other Participants have their own experiences.
Some off topic conversation is OK. Some cross posting of announcements and off topic conversations is OK. But, do not do thread hijacking, spamming, commercial advertising, overt self-promotion, excessive going off-topic and incorrect content placement or timing. Consider announcing more appropriate places or times for in-depth off-topic conversations.
Don't invalidate another Participant's story with your own spin on their experience. Instead, share your own story and experience.
Share content from inside DD&I spaces with other spaces judiciously and without harassment.
Challenge ideas, feelings, concerns, or one another by asking questions. Refrain from personal attacks. Focus on ideas first.
The scrollback of slack is limited. Get permission from Participants to summarize or quote them in more permanent places, for example: posting meeting notes in the DD&I github repo, opening a DD&I github issue, adding a comment to a DD&I github issue, etc.
Avoid verbal challenges, backhanded insults, gender/race/region stereotyping, etc.
Admins of the Drupal slack team do have access to an archive of the entire slack history of public channels and private message.
Take part to the fullest of your ability and availability.
When sharing content in public, for example: on twitter, in a blog post, in an article, on a podcast, etc, permission from Participants must be obtained first. This forum should be considered public, assume that anyone can and may read anything posted here. We'd prefer people didn't take screenshots and post them in other forums, after all, this is where the discussion and work in progress is taking place. Removing snippets of a conversation takes away context and can distort and stymie discussion. If you take screenshots and post them to social media and other forums, get permission of the person that posted it. When getting permission include the option of removing identifying information. Permission is still needed even if identifying information is removed.
Community growth depends on the inclusion of individual voices. The channel wants you to speak up and speak out. Everyone has a different amount of time to contribute. We value participation here if you can give 5 minutes or 5 hours.
We do welcome those who quietly come to lurk and learn, or "leark," but please introduce yourself and say hello!

Some cross posting of announcements is okay. The following is not permitted:
Thread hijacking
Spamming
commercial advertising
overt self-promotion
excessive going off-topic
incorrect content placement or timing (don't interrupt a meeting or conversation)
Consider announcing more appropriate places or times for in-depth off-topic conversations.
If you are not sure what's appropriate, please contact a moderator.
Sharing content from inside DD&I spaces must only be done with explicit consent. Any sharing must also be carefully considered, and without harassment or intent to harm any Participants.
The scrollback of Slack is limited. Get permission from Participants to summarize or quote them in more permanent places. Examples: posting meeting notes in the DD&I Github repo, opening a DD&I Github issue, adding a comment to a DD&I Github issue.

When sharing any DD&I content, permission from all Participants must be obtained first. This applies whether content is quoted, summarized, or screenshotted. This includes sharing in any medium: on Twitter, in a blog post, in an article, on a podcast, etc.
Before taking any screenshots or quotes out of context and posting in another forum, please reconsider. These spaces are where the discussion and work in progress is taking place. Removing snippets of a conversation takes away context. This can distort and discourage discussion, especially when this is done without the goal of driving the DD&I mission.
As stated above, if you take screenshots and post them to social media or other forums, you must get permission of the person that posted it. When getting permission, include the option of removing identifying information. Permission is still needed even if identifying information is removed. This includes any content from Slack, Github, or any other DD&I medium.

When the topic of conflict is off topic for DD&I consider moving the conversation to a public channel more appropriate for that topic, for example: #governance
If the topic of conflict is off-topic for DD&I, move the conversation to a more appropirate public channel.
