Code of Conduct
dumbsms is open source software built in public. We want contributors, users, and anyone who shows up in project spaces to be able to participate without harassment or abuse.
Last updated June 25, 2026
Our pledge
We pledge to keep those spaces respectful, constructive, and focused on the work.
Expected behavior
- Be courteous.
- Give and accept feedback in good faith.
- Assume others are here to improve the project.
- Respect boundaries.
- Keep discussions on topic.
Unacceptable behavior
The following are not welcome in any project space (patches, email, or anywhere you are representing the project):
- Harassment, insults, slurs, or personal attacks.
- Unwelcome sexual attention or advances.
- Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or sustained disruption.
- Publishing someone else's private information without permission.
- Discrimination or exclusion based on personal characteristics.
- Advocating or encouraging any of the above.
"Project spaces" means anywhere the dumbsms project is discussed or maintained under its name — including the website, source repository, and official contact channels.
Enforcement
Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing this code. They may warn, edit or remove content, reject contributions, or temporarily or permanently exclude participants who violate it.
Reports should go through the contact form — choose "Code of conduct report" and include what happened, where, and who was involved. All good-faith reports will be reviewed promptly and handled as fairly as we can. Retaliation against someone who reports in good faith is itself a violation.
Scope
This code applies within project spaces. It also applies when someone is clearly representing the project in public — for example when acting as an appointed representative.
It does not govern private conduct unrelated to the project, except where that conduct would reasonably make others unsafe or unwelcome in project spaces.
Attribution
This Code of Conduct is adapted from common open-source community
practice. It is not a legal contract; the
GPL-3.0-or-later
license governs the software itself. The canonical copy lives in the
source repository as
