-# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+# Code of Conduct
 
-## Our Pledge
+Thank you for being a part of the GNOME project. We value your participation and want everyone to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all participants are expected to follow this Code of Conduct, and to show respect, understanding, and consideration to one another. Thank you for helping make this a welcoming, friendly community for everyone.
 
-In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
-contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
-our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
-size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
-education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race,
-religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies to all GNOME community spaces, including, but not limited to:
+
+ * Issue tracking systems - bugzilla.gnome.org
+ * Documentation and tutorials - developer.gnome.org
+ * Code repositories - git.gnome.org and gitlab.gnome.org
+ * Mailing lists - mail.gnome.org
+ * Wikis - wiki.gnome.org
+ * Chat and forums - irc.gnome.org, discourse.gnome.org, GNOME Telegram channels, and GNOME groups and channels on Matrix.org (including bridges to GNOME IRC channels)
+ * Community spaces hosted on gnome.org infrastructure
+ * Any other channels or groups which exist in order to discuss GNOME project activities
+ * All event venues and associated spaces, including conferences, hackfests, release parties, workshops and other small events
+ * All areas related to event venues: vendor exhibit halls, staff and meal areas, connecting infrastructure like walkways, hallways, elevators, and stairs
+ * Sponsor events, either on-site or off-site
+ * Private events off-site that involve one or more attendees
+ * Social events around the main event
+ * Private conversations taking place in official conference hotels
+
+Communication channels and private conversations that are normally out of scope may be considered in scope if a GNOME participant is being stalked or harassed. Social media conversations may be considered in-scope if the incident occurred under a GNOME event hashtag, or when an official GNOME account on social media is tagged, or within any other discussion about GNOME. The GNOME Foundation reserves the right to take actions against behaviors that happen in any context, if they are deemed to be relevant to the GNOME project and its participants.
+
+All participants in GNOME community spaces are subject to the Code of Conduct. This includes GNOME Foundation board members, corporate sponsors, and paid employees. This also includes volunteers, maintainers, leaders, contributors, contribution reviewers, issue reporters, GNOME users, and anyone participating in discussion in GNOME community spaces. For in-person events, this also includes all attendees, exhibitors, vendors, speakers, panelists, organizers, staff, and volunteers.
+
+## Reporting an Incident
+
+If you believe that someone is violating the Code of Conduct, or have any other concerns, please [contact the Code of Conduct committee](gnome-code-of-conduct-reporter-guide.md).
 
 ## Our Standards
 
-Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
-include:
+The GNOME community is dedicated to providing a positive experience for everyone, regardless of:
 
-* Using welcoming and inclusive language
-* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
-* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
-* Focusing on what is best for the community
-* Showing empathy towards other community members
+ * age
+ * body size
+ * caste
+ * citizenship
+ * disability
+ * education
+ * ethnicity
+ * familial status
+ * gender expression
+ * gender identity
+ * genetic information
+ * immigration status
+ * level of experience
+ * nationality
+ * personal appearance
+ * pregnancy
+ * race
+ * religion
+ * sex characteristics
+ * sexual orientation
+ * sexual identity
+ * socio-economic status
+ * tribe
+ * veteran status
 
-Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+### Community Guidelines
 
-* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
-  advances
-* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
-* Public or private harassment
-* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
-  address, without explicit permission
-* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
-  professional setting
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
 
-## Our Responsibilities
+ * **Be friendly.** Use welcoming and inclusive language.
+ * **Be empathetic.** Be respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences.
+ * **Be respectful.** When we disagree, we do so in a polite and constructive manner.
+ * **Be considerate.** Remember that decisions are often a difficult choice between competing priorities. Focus on what is best for the community. Keep discussions around technology choices constructive and respectful.
+ * **Be patient and generous.** If someone asks for help it is because they need it. When documentation is available that answers the question, politely point them to it. If the question is off-topic, suggest a more appropriate online space to seek help.
+ * **Try to be concise.** Read the discussion before commenting in order to not repeat a point that has been made.
 
-Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
-behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
-response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+### Inappropriate Behavior
 
-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.
+Community members asked to stop any inappropriate behavior are expected to comply immediately.
 
-## Scope
+We want all participants in the GNOME community have the best possible experience they can. In order to be clear what that means, we've provided a list of examples of behaviors that are inappropriate for GNOME community spaces:
 
-This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
-when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
-representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
-address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
-representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
-further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+ * **Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following.**
+ * **Sustained disruption of online discussion, talks, or other events.** Sustained disruption of events, online discussions, or meetings, including talks and presentations, will not be tolerated. This includes 'Talking over' or 'heckling' event speakers or influencing crowd actions that cause hostility in event sessions. Sustained disruption also includes drinking alcohol to excess or using recreational drugs to excess, or pushing others to do so.
+ * **Harassment of people who don't drink alcohol or other legal substances.** We do not tolerate derogatory comments about those who abstain from alcohol or other legal substances. We do not tolerate pushing people to drink, talking about their abstinence or preferences to others, or pressuring them to drink - physically or through jeering.
+ * **Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist language or otherwise exclusionary language.** This includes deliberately referring to someone by a gender that they do not identify with, and/or questioning the legitimacy of an individual's gender identity. If you're unsure if a word is derogatory, don't use it. This also includes repeated subtle and/or indirect discrimination.
+ * **Unwelcome sexual attention or behavior that contributes to a sexualized environment.** This includes sexualized comments, jokes or imagery in interactions, communications or presentation materials, as well as inappropriate touching, groping, or sexual advances. Sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Meetup organizing staff and other volunteer organizers should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.
+ * **Unwelcome physical contact.** This includes touching a person without permission, including sensitive areas such as their hair, pregnant stomach, mobility device (wheelchair, scooter, etc) or tattoos. This also includes physically blocking or intimidating another person. Physical contact or simulated physical contact (such as emojis like "kiss") without affirmative consent is not acceptable. This includes sharing or distribution of sexualized images or text.
+ * **Violence or threats of violence.** Violence and threats of violence are not acceptable - online or offline. This includes incitement of violence toward any individual, including encouraging a person to commit self-harm. This also includes posting or threatening to post other people's personally identifying information ("doxxing") online.
+ * **Influencing or encouraging inappropriate behavior.** If you influence or encourage another person to violate the Code of Conduct, you may face the same consequences as if you had violated the Code of Conduct.
+ * **Possession of an offensive weapon at a GNOME event.** This includes anything deemed to be a weapon by the event organizers.
 
-## Enforcement
+### Safety versus Comfort
 
-Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
-reported by contacting the project team at federico@gnome.org. All
-complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
-is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
-obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
-Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+The GNOME community prioritizes marginalized people's safety over privileged people's comfort, for example in situations involving:
 
-Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
-faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
-members of the project's leadership.
+ * "Reverse"-isms, including "reverse racism," "reverse sexism," and "cisphobia"
+ * Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as "leave me alone," "go away," or "I'm not discussing this with you."
+ * Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions
+ * Communicating boundaries or criticizing oppressive behavior in a "tone" you don't find congenial
 
-## Attribution
+The examples listed above are not against the Code of Conduct. If you have questions about the above statements, please [read our document on Supporting Diversity](supporting-diversity.md).
+
+Outreach and diversity efforts directed at under-represented groups are permitted under the code of conduct. For example, a social event for women would not be classified as being outside the Code of Conduct under this provision.
 
-This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage], version 1.4,
-available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html
+Basic expectations for conduct are not covered by the "reverse-ism clause" and would be enforced irrespective of the demographics of those involved. For example, racial discrimination will not be tolerated, irrespective of the race of those involved. Nor would unwanted sexual attention be tolerated, whatever someone's gender or sexual orientation. Members of our community have the right to expect that participants in the project will uphold these standards.

+If a participant engages in behavior that violates this code of conduct, the GNOME Code of Conduct committee may take any action they deem appropriate. Examples of consequences are outlined in the [Committee Procedures Guide](gnome-code-of-conduct-committee-procedures.md).
