# Contributor Code of Conduct

As contributors and maintainers of this project, and in the interest of fostering an open
and welcoming community, we pledge to respect all people who contribute through reporting
issues, posting feature requests, updating documentation, submitting pull requests or
patches, and other activities.

We are committed to making participation in this project a harassment-free experience for
everyone, regardless of level of experience, gender, gender identity and expression,
sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age,
religion, or nationality.

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

 * The use of sexualized language or imagery
 * Personal attacks
 * Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments
 * Public or private harassment
 * Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic addresses,
   without explicit permission
 * Other unethical or unprofessional conduct

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.

By adopting this Code of Conduct, project maintainers commit themselves to fairly and
consistently applying these principles to every aspect of managing this project. Project
maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct may be permanently removed
from the project team.

This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an
individual is representing the project or its community.

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by
contacting a project maintainer at [rabbitmq-core@groups.vmware.com](mailto:rabbitmq-core@groups.vmware.com). All complaints will
be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and
appropriate to the circumstances. Maintainers are obligated to maintain confidentiality
with regard to the reporter of an incident.

This Code of Conduct is adapted from the
[Contributor Covenant](https://contributor-covenant.org), version 1.3.0, available at
[contributor-covenant.org/version/1/3/0/](https://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/3/0/)
