Stella Ops Code of Conduct
Contributor Covenant v2.1 + project‑specific escalation paths
We pledge to make participation in the Stella Ops 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.
0 · Our standard
This project adopts the
Contributor Covenant v2.1
with the additions and clarifications listed below.
If anything here conflicts with the upstream covenant, our additions win.
1 · Scope
| Applies to | Examples |
|---|---|
| All official spaces | Repos under git.stella-ops.org/stella-ops.org/*, Matrix rooms (#stellaops:*), issue trackers, pull‑request reviews, community calls, and any event officially sponsored by Stella Ops |
| Unofficial spaces that impact the project | Public social‑media posts that target or harass community members, coordinated harassment campaigns, doxxing, etc. |
2 · Reporting a violation ☎️
| Channel | When to use |
|---|---|
conduct@stella-ops.org (PGP key keys/#pgp) |
Primary, confidential – anything from micro‑aggressions to serious harassment |
Matrix /msg @coc-bot:libera.chat |
Quick, in‑chat nudge for minor issues |
Public issue with label coc |
Transparency preferred and you feel safe doing so |
We aim to acknowledge within 48 hours (business days, UTC).
3 · Incident handlers 🛡️
| Name | Role | Alt‑contact |
|---|---|---|
Alice Doe (@alice) |
Core Maintainer • Security WG | +1‑555‑0123 |
Bob Ng (@bob) |
UI Maintainer • Community lead | +1‑555‑0456 |
If any handler is the subject of a complaint, skip them and contact another
handler directly or email conduct@stella-ops.org only.
4 · Enforcement ladder ⚖️
- Private coaches / mediation – first attempt to resolve misunderstandings.
- Warning – written, includes corrective actions & cooling‑off period.
- Temporary exclusion – mute (chat), read‑only (repo) for N days.
- Permanent ban – removal from all official spaces + revocation of roles.
All decisions are documented privately (for confidentiality) but a summary is published quarterly in the “Community Health” report.
5 · Appeals 🔄
A sanctioned individual may appeal once by emailing
appeals@stella-ops.org within 14 days of the decision.
Appeals are reviewed by three maintainers not involved in the original case
and resolved within 30 days.
6 · No‑retaliation policy 🛑
Retaliation against reporters will not be tolerated and results in immediate progression to Step 4 of the enforcement ladder.
