1The Halide community has always worked to be a welcoming and respectful
2community, and we want to ensure that doesn’t change as we grow and evolve. To
3that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to:
4
5- **Be friendly and patient.**
6
7- **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports
8  people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to
9  members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration
10  status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation,
11  gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief,
12  religion, and mental and physical ability.
13
14- **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn
15  will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and
16  colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making
17  decisions. Remember that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be
18  communicating in someone else's primary language.
19
20- **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is
21  no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some
22  frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a
23  personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people feel
24  uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Halide
25  community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with
26  people outside the Halide community.
27
28- **Be careful in the words that you choose.** We are a community of
29  professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do
30  not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary
31  behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
32
33  - Violent threats or language directed against another person.
34  - Discriminatory jokes and language.
35  - Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
36  - Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying
37    information ("doxing").
38  - Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
39  - Unwelcome sexual attention.
40  - Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
41  - Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then
42    stop.
43
44- **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and
45  technical, happen all the time and Halide is no exception. It is important
46  that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Being unable
47  to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn't mean that they’re wrong.
48  Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn't get us
49  anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from
50  mistakes.
51
52- **Give credit where it's due.** If you use code or ideas from other people,
53  projects, or publications, say so. Add a comment in the source code at the
54  point where the idea is used. If adapting code, this requirement is above and
55  beyond any requirements placed on you by the license of the original code. We
56  all like recognition for our work. To that end...
