Code of conduct

If you're interacting in Slack, codebases, mailing lists, events, or any other Airbyte activity, you must follow the Code of Conduct. Please review it before getting started.

Airbyte's pledge​

Airbyte seeks to foster an open and welcoming environment. Contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in the project and the community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Airbyte's standards​

Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:

  • Using welcoming and inclusive language
  • Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
  • Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
  • Focusing on what's best for the community
  • Showing empathy towards other community members

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

  • 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 someone could reasonably consider inappropriate in a professional setting

Airbyte's responsibilities​

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that aren't 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.

Scope​

This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, and it also applies when an individual is representing the project or its community in public spaces. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project email 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.

Enforcement​

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the project team at [email protected]. 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.

Project maintainers who don't 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.

Attribution​

This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 1.4, available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html

Slack code of conduct​

Airbyte's Slack community is growing incredibly fast. It's home to thousands of data professionals and growing. Airbyte is proud of the community, and have provided these guidelines to support new members in maintaining the wholesome spirit that's developed here. Thank you for your continued commitment to making this a community everyone is excited to be part of.

Rule 1: Be respectful​

Airbyte's desire is for everyone to have a positive, fulfilling experience in Airbyte Slack, and the team sincerely appreciates your help in making this happen.

All of the guidelines below are important, but there’s a reason respect is the first rule. Airbyte takes it seriously, and while the occasional breach of etiquette around Slack is forgivable, Airbyte doesn't condone disrespectful behavior.

Rule 2: Use the most relevant channels​

We deliberately use topic-specific Slack channels so members of the community can opt-in on various types of conversations. Our members take care to post their messages in the most relevant channel, and you’ll often see reminders about the best place to post a message (respectfully written, of course!). Even if you're looking for help directly from the Community Assistance Team or other Airbyte employees, please stick to posting in the #ask-community-for-troubleshooting channel.

Rule 3: Don’t double-post​

Please be considerate of our community members’ time. We know your question is important, but please keep in mind that Airbyte Slack isn't a customer service platform but a community of volunteers who try to help you as they're able around their own work schedule. You have access to all the history, so it’s easy to check if someone has asked your question before.

Rule 4: Check question for clarity and thoughtfulness​

Airbyte Slack is a community of volunteers. Our members enjoy helping others; they are knowledgeable, gracious, and willing to give their time and expertise for free. Putting some effort into a well-researched and thoughtful post shows consideration for their time and will gain more responses.

Rule 5: Keep it public​

This is a public forum; please do not contact individual members of this community without their express permission, regardless of whether you are trying to recruit someone, sell a product, or solicit help.

Rule 6: No soliciting​

The purpose of the Airbyte Slack community is to provide a forum for data practitioners to discuss their work and share their ideas and learnings. it's not intended as a place to generate leads for vendors or recruiters, and may not be used as such.

Rule 7: Don't spam tags, or use @here or @channel​

Using the @here and @channel keywords in a post will not help, as they are disabled in Slack for everyone excluding admins. Nonetheless, if you use them we will remind you with a link to this rule, to help you better understand the way Airbyte Slack operates.

don't tag specific individuals for help on your questions. If someone chooses to respond to your question, they will do so. You will find that our community of volunteers is generally very responsive and amazingly helpful!

Rule 8: Use threads for discussion​

The simplest way to keep conversations on track in Slack is to use threads. The Airbyte Slack community relies heavily on threads, and if you break from this convention, rest assured one of our community members will respectfully inform you quickly!

Report violations​

If you see a message or receive a direct message that violates any of these rules, please contact an Airbyte team member and we'll take the appropriate moderation action immediately. Airbyte has zero tolerance for intentional rule-breaking and hate speech.
