# Contributor Code of Conduct
|
||
|
||
The Zend Framework project adheres to [The Code Manifesto](http://codemanifesto.com)
|
||
as its guidelines for contributor interactions.
|
||
|
||
## The Code Manifesto
|
||
|
||
We want to work in an ecosystem that empowers developers to reach their
|
||
potential — one that encourages growth and effective collaboration. A space that
|
||
is safe for all.
|
||
|
||
A space such as this benefits everyone that participates in it. It encourages
|
||
new developers to enter our field. It is through discussion and collaboration
|
||
that we grow, and through growth that we improve.
|
||
|
||
In the effort to create such a place, we hold to these values:
|
||
|
||
1. **Discrimination limits us.** This includes discrimination on the basis of
|
||
race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, nationality, technology
|
||
and any other arbitrary exclusion of a group of people.
|
||
2. **Boundaries honor us.** Your comfort levels are not everyone’s comfort
|
||
levels. Remember that, and if brought to your attention, heed it.
|
||
3. **We are our biggest assets.** None of us were born masters of our trade.
|
||
Each of us has been helped along the way. Return that favor, when and where
|
||
you can.
|
||
4. **We are resources for the future.** As an extension of #3, share what you
|
||
know. Make yourself a resource to help those that come after you.
|
||
5. **Respect defines us.** Treat others as you wish to be treated. Make your
|
||
discussions, criticisms and debates from a position of respectfulness. Ask
|
||
yourself, is it true? Is it necessary? Is it constructive? Anything less is
|
||
unacceptable.
|
||
6. **Reactions require grace.** Angry responses are valid, but abusive language
|
||
and vindictive actions are toxic. When something happens that offends you,
|
||
handle it assertively, but be respectful. Escalate reasonably, and try to
|
||
allow the offender an opportunity to explain themselves, and possibly correct
|
||
the issue.
|
||
7. **Opinions are just that: opinions.** Each and every one of us, due to our
|
||
background and upbringing, have varying opinions. The fact of the matter, is
|
||
that is perfectly acceptable. Remember this: if you respect your own
|
||
opinions, you should respect the opinions of others.
|
||
8. **To err is human.** You might not intend it, but mistakes do happen and
|
||
contribute to build experience. Tolerate honest mistakes, and don't hesitate
|
||
to apologize if you make one yourself.
