34## Community Code of Conduct ##
35
36Music21 encourages contributions, discussions, and usage from all people interested in
37music and computers. This encouragement extends to all people regardless of (among other aspects)
38gender, race, sexual orientation, disability, religion, appearance, veteran status,
39gender identity, socioeconomic status, or nationality.
40
41Members of the community will strive to be friendly, patient, and welcoming, especially of
42viewpoints and experiences different from our own. We reject harassment and contributions
43(in mail, comments, or code) that belittle individuals or groups of people.
44
45We ask all members of the community to be mindful particularly about assumptions of the
46gender of users (choice of pronouns in comments and code). We recognize that members
47sometimes make mistakes and will, in general, accept sincere regrets for such cases.
48Blatant or repeated violations of the code will result in the removal of the
49contributor’s participation in the community.
50
51The maintainers of music21 and associated sites will commit themselves to enforcing
52this code of conduct. Users who notice violations, including instances of abuse,
53harassment, or otherwise unacceptable behavior are requested to contact cuthbert@mit.edu.
54Maintainers will respect confidentiality with regard to reports.
