We therefore strive to express +ourselves simply and clearly remembering that unnecessary use of +jargon and slang will be a barrier to understanding for many of our +colleagues. We are sensitive to the fact that the international +nature of the community means that we span many different social norms +around language and behaviour and we strive to conduct ourselves, +online and in person, in ways that are unlikely to cause offence. + +Samvera conversations are often information-rich and intended to +generate discussion and debate. We discuss ideas from a standpoint of +mutual respect and reasoned argument. + +Community members work together to promote a respectful and safe +community. In the event that someone’s conduct is causing offence or +distress, Samvera has a detailed +[Anti-Harassment Policy and Protocol](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/samvera/Anti-Harassment+Policy) +which can be applied to address the problem. The first step in dealing +with any serious misconduct is to contact a local meeting organizer, +the +[Samvera community helpers](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/samvera/Samvera+Community+Helpers) +([email](mailto:helpers@samvera.org)), a community member you +trust, or the +[Samvera Steering Group](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/samvera/Samvera+Steering+Group+membership) +immediately; at Samvera events, these people can be identified by +distinctive name badges. The +[Policy and Protocol](https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/samvera/Anti-Harassment+Policy) +should be consulted for fuller details. diff --git a/CONTRIBUTING.md b/CONTRIBUTING.md index df6e14d..e50faa4 100644 --- a/CONTRIBUTING.md +++ b/CONTRIBUTING.md @@ -34,7 +34,7 @@ You should also add yourself to the `CONTRIBUTORS.md` file in the root of the pr ### Reporting Issues * Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free) -* Submit a [Github issue](./issues) by: +* Submit a [Github issue](https://github.com/samvera/hydra-editor/issues) by: * Clearly describing the issue * Provide a descriptive summary * Explain the expected behavior
