We as members, contributors, and leaders of PRSMTECH pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment:
- Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
- Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
- Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
- Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community

- Being patient with newcomers and those learning
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
- The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind
- Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
- Intimidation, stalking, or following
- Sustained disruption of community events, including talks and presentations
- Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting
PRSMTECH leadership is responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
Leadership has the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned with this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.
This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, including:
- GitHub repositories and discussions
- Code reviews and pull requests
- Issue trackers
- Project documentation
- Team communication channels
- Events (virtual and in-person)
- Official social media accounts
- Email communications
This Code of Conduct also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces, such as using an official email address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an event.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to PRSMTECH leadership:
