Like the technical community as a whole, the Floating UI team and community is
made up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers from all over the world,
working on every aspect of the mission - including mentorship, teaching and
connecting people.

Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to communication
issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask
people to adhere to when they're participating within this community and
project. These rules apply equally to founders, mentors and those seeking help
and guidance.

This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you can’t do. Rather, take it in
the spirit in which it’s intended - a guide to make it easier to enrich all of
us and the technical communities in which we participate.

This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the Floating UI project:
this includes GitHub, and Twitter.

- **Be welcoming, friendly, and patient.**
- **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will
depend on the work of others. Any decision you make will affect users and
colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making
decisions.
- **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no
excuse for poor behaviour and poor manners. We might all experience some
frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a
personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel
uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Floating UI
community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with
people outside the Floating UI community and with user groups/conferences,
usergroup/conference organizers.
- **Be careful in the words that you choose.** Remember that sexist, racist, and
other exclusionary jokes can be offensive to those around you. Be kind to
others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Behave professionally.
Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not
appropriate for the community.
- **When we disagree, we try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and
technical, happen all the time and Floating UI is no exception. It is important
that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that
we're different. The strength of Floating UI comes from its varied community,
people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different
perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a
viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. Don't forget that it is human to err
and blaming each other doesn't get us anywhere, rather offer to help resolving
issues and to help learn from mistakes.
