+title: Code of Co-operation
+---
+
+> Huge thanks to the folks at [Varia](https://varia.zone/) &
+> [LURK](https://lurk.org) who carefully prepared wonderful Code of Conduct
+> documents which we have adapted for our needs (with permission). See the
+> original documents [here](https://varia.zone/en/pages/code-of-conduct.html)
+> and [there](https://lurk.org/TOS.txt).
+
+Co-op Cloud is used by several communities coming from a variety of cultural,
+ethnic and professional backgrounds. We strive for to be welcoming to people of
+these various backgrounds and provide a non-toxic and harassment-free
+environment. 
+
+The Code of Conduct is a set of guidelines that help establish shared values
+and ensure that behaviour that may harm participants is avoided. 
+
+We acknowledge that we come from different backgrounds and all have certain
+biases and privileges. Therefore, this Code of Conduct cannot account for all
+the ways that people might feel excluded, unsafe or uncomfortable. We commit to
+open dialogues, and as such this Code of Conduct is never finished and should
+change whenever needed. We amend this document over time so it reflects the
+priorities and sensitivities of the community as it changes.
+
+It is a collective responsibility for all of us to enact the behaviour
+described in this document.
+
+## Expected behaviour
+
+We expect each other to:
+
+### Be considerate...
+
+...of each other, the space we enter, the Co-op Cloud community and the
+practices that it houses.
+
+### Be open and generous...
+
+...while trying not to make assumptions about others. This can include
+assumptions about identity, knowledge, experiences or preferred pronouns. Be
+generous with our time and our abilities, when we are able to. Help others, but
+ask first. There are many ways to contribute to a collective practice, which
+may differ from our individual ways.
+
+### Be respectful...
+
+...of different viewpoints and experiences. Respect physical and emotional
+boundaries. Be respectful of each others' limited time and energy. Take each
+other and each other's practices seriously. Acknowledge that this might lead to
+disagreement. However, disagreement is no excuse for poor manners.
+
+### Be responsible....
+
+...for the promises we make, meaning that we follow up on our commitments. We
+take responsibility for the good things we do, but also for the bad ones. We
+listen to and act upon respectful feedback. We correct ourselves when
+necessary, keeping in mind that the impact of our words and actions on other
+people doesn't always match our intent.
+
+### Be dedicated...
+
+...which means not letting the group happen to us, but making the group
+together. We participate in the group with self-respect and don't exhaust
+ourselves. This might mean saying how we feel, setting boundaries, being clear
+about our expectations. Nobody is expected to be perfect in this community.
+Asking questions early avoids problems later. Those who are asked should be
+responsive and helpful.
+
+### Be empathetic...
+
+..by actively listening to others and not dominating discussions. We give each
+other the chance to improve and let each other step up into positions of
+responsibility. We make room for others. We are aware of each other's feelings,
+provide support where necessary, and know when to step back. One's idea of
+caring may differ from how others want to be cared for. We ask to make sure
+that our actions are wanted.
+
+### Foster an inclusive environment...
+
+...by trying to create opportunities for others to express views, share skills
+and make other contributions. Being together is something we actively work on
+and requires negotiation. We recognize that not everyone has the same
+opportunities, therefore we must be sensitive to the context we operate in.
+There are implicit hierarchies that we can challenge, and we should strive to
+do so. When we organize something (projects, events, etc.), we think about how
+we can consider degrees of privilege, account for the needs of others, promote
+an activist stance and support other voices.
+
+## Unacceptable behaviour
+
+### No structural or personal discrimination
+
+Attitudes or comments promoting or reinforcing the oppression of any groups or
+people based on gender, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity,
+nationality, sexuality, sexual orientation, religion, disability, mental
+illness, neurodiversity, personal appearance, physical appearance, body size,
+age, or class. Do not claim “reverse-isms”, for example “reverse racism”.
+
+### No harrassment
+
+Neither public nor private. Also no deliberate intimidation, stalking,
+following, harassing photography or recording, disruption of events,
+aggressive, slanderous, derogatory, or threatening comments online or in person
+and unwanted physical or electronic contact or sexual attention. No posting or
+disseminating libel, slander, or other disinformation.
+
+### No violation of privacy
+
+Namely publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic
+address, without explicit permission. Do not take or publish photos or
+recordings of others after their request to not do so. Delete recordings if
+asked.
+
+### No unwelcome sexual conduct
+
+Including unwanted sexual language, imagery, actions, attention or advances.
+
+### No destructive behaviour
+
+Or any other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate. This
+includes (but is not exclusive to) depictions of violence without content
+warnings, consistently and purposely derailing or disrupting conversations, or
+other behaviour that persistently disrupts the ability of others to engage in
+the group or space.
+
+## Intervention procedure
+
+**Immediate intervention (help is needed now!)**
+
+If you are feeling unsafe, you can immediately contact the Co-op Cloud members
+who are tasked with making sure the code of co-operation is respected.
+
+These contact people are members of Co-op Cloud who will do their best to help,
+or to find the correct assistance if relevant/necessary. Here is the list so
+far. If you would like to help in this task, please also feel free to volunteer
+to be a support member.
+
+> handle: `sordidwhiskey` contact:
+> [helo@coopcloud.tech](mailto:helo@coopcloud.tech) handle: `3wc` contact:
+> [helo@coopcloud.tech](mailto:helo@coopcloud.tech)
+
+For example, something happened during a still-ongoing online event and needs
+to be acted upon right away. Action is taken immediately when this violation of
+the code of co-operation is reported. This could involve removing an attendee
+from said event.
+
+## Non-immediate intervention (a situation that requires more time)
+
+Other violations need to be considered and consulted upon with more people or
+in a more measured way. For example: If you experience an ongoing pattern of
+harrassment; if you witness structurally unacceptable behaviour; if somebody
+keeps "accidentally" using discriminatory language, after being asked to stop.
+
+If you feel comfortable or able, discuss the issues with the involved parties
+before consulting a mediator. We prefer to constructively resolve disagreements
+together and work to right the wrong, when it is possible and safe to do so.
+However, if the problems still persist, those who are responsible for enforcing
+the code of co-operation can help you deal with these kinds of problems.
+Contact the members listed above. Information will be handled with sensitivity.
