    ## Our 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 is best for the community
    
    * Showing empathy towards other community members

    * The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual
      attention or advances
    
    * Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political

      electronic address, without explicit permission
    
    ## Our Responsibilities
    
    For the purposes of this Code of Conduct, "project maintainers" means
    persons delegated by OTS partners as managing designated projects.
    
    Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of
    
    acceptable behavior within the projects they maintain and are expected
    to 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 are not 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 both within project spaces and in public
    spaces when an individual is representing the project or its
    community.  Examples of representing a project or community include
    using an official project e-mail 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 or by OTS partners.
    
    ## Reporting and Enforcement
    
    Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior
    may be reported by contacting either the appropriate project
    maintainer(s) or by contacting one or more partners at Open Tech
    Strategies, LLC.  Contacted parties will review, investigate, and
    handle complaints in the manner that they deem appropriate to the
    circumstances.  The contacted parties will maintain confidentiality
    with regard to the reporter of an incident, except that a project
    maintainer my involve an OTS partner in this process if the maintainer
    deems it necessary.  However, if a complaint involves an OTS partner,
    those handling it will maintain confidentiality with regard to that
    partner.
    
    If a complaint were to involve *all* OTS partners, there would no way
    to handle it at all.  Therefore this Code of Conduct does not promise
    confidentiality from OTS partners in that circumstance.
