This code of conduct outlines our expectations for all those who participate in the Haskell Beginners 2022 course.
We invite all those who participate in the course to help us to create safe and positive experiences for everyone.
The main concern of Haskell Beginners 2022 course is friendliness and inclusion. As such, we are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all. So, we are using the following standards in our organization.
We welcome and support people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, social and economic class, educational level, colour, immigration status, sex, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability.
We won't all agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for disrespectful behaviour. We will all experience frustration from time to time, but we cannot allow that frustration to become personal attacks. An environment where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive or creative one.
Always conduct yourself professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down others. Harassment and exclusionary behaviour aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Threats of violence.
- Discriminatory language.
- Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
- Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviours.
In general, if someone asks you to stop something, then stop. When we disagree, try to understand why. Differences of opinion and disagreements are mostly unavoidable. What is important is that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively.
Different people have different perspectives on issues, and that can be valuable for solving problems or generating new ideas. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that we all make mistakes, and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere.
Instead, focus on resolving issues and learning from mistakes.
If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behaviour, or have any other concerns, please notify mentors of the Haskell Beginners 2022 course as soon as possible.

People who violate this Code of Conduct will be removed from the course participation and all relevant communication channels.
