		<h1>OTC's Code of Conduct</h1>

		<main id="main-content">
			<h2 id="our-pledge">Our Pledge</h2>
			<p>
				We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make
				participation in our community a harassment-free experience for
				everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible
				disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and
				expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic
				status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color,
				religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
			</p>
			<p>
				We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an
				open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
			</p>

			<h2 id="our-standards">Our Standards</h2>
			<p>Examples of <strong>acceptable behavior</strong> include:</p>
			<ul>
				<li>Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people.</li>
				<li>Accommodating for people with disabilities.</li>
				<li>Abide by the rules of the community and event.</li>
				<li>
					Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints and
					experiences.
				</li>
				<li>Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback.</li>
				<li>
					Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected
					by our mistakes and learning from the experience.
				</li>
				<li>
					Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but
					for the overall community.
				</li>
			</ul>
			<p>Examples of <strong>unacceptable behavior</strong> include:</p>
			<ul>
				<li>Not co-operating with the organising team.</li>
				<li>
					The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual
					attention or advances of any kind.
				</li>
				<li>Repeatedly flouting event rules.</li>
				<li>
					The use of derogatory or discriminatory words, sentiments or
					statements against any race, gender, sexuality and/or
					religion.
				</li>
				<li>
					Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or
					political attacks.
				</li>
				<li>Public or private harassment.</li>
				<li>
					Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical
					or email address, without their explicit permission.
				</li>
				<li>
					Other conduct which could reasonably be considered
					inappropriate in a professional setting.
				</li>
			</ul>
			<br />
			<p>
				In addition to these rules of conduct, everyone participating in
				events is encouraged to abide by the
				<a
					target="_blank"
					rel="noreferrer"
					href="https://www.recurse.com/social-rules"
					>Recurse Center's Social Rules</a
				>:
			</p>
			<ul>
				<li>No well-actually's</li>
				<li>No feigning surprise</li>
				<li>No backseat driving</li>
				<li>No subtle -isms</li>
			</ul>
			<p>
				The social rules name subtle behaviors that put other people
				down or show how much we know instead of supporting each other’s
				learning. One thing that often surprises people about the social
				rules is that we expect people to break them from time to time.
				We’re all human, and we all make mistakes. The social rules are
				a guide to help us be better, not a list of things we’re not
				allowed to do.
			</p>

			<h2 id="enforcement-responsibilities">
				Enforcement Responsibilities
			</h2>
			<p>
				Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing
				our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate
				and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they
				deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
			</p>
			<p>
				Community leaders 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, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions
				when appropriate.
			</p>
			<h2 id="scope">Scope</h2>
			<p>
				This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces and
				also applies when an individual is officially representing the
				community in public spaces. Examples of representing our
				community include using an official e-mail address, posting via
				an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
				representative at an online or offline event.
			</p>

			<h2 id="enforcement">Enforcement</h2>
			<p>
				Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable
				behavior may be reported to the community leaders responsible
				for enforcement at
				<a href="mailto:contact@ourtech.community"
					>contact@ourtech.community</a
				>. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and
				fairly.
			</p>
			<p>
				All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and
				security of the reporter of any incident.
			</p>

			<h2 id="enforcement-guidelines">Enforcement Guidelines</h2>
			<p>
				Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines
				in determining the consequences for any action they deem in
				violation of this Code of Conduct:
			</p>
			<h3 id="1-correction">1. Correction</h3>
			<p>
				<strong>Community Impact</strong>: Use of inappropriate language
				or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome in the
				community.
			</p>
			<p>
				<strong>Consequence</strong>: A private, written warning from
				community leaders, providing clarity around the nature of the
				violation and an explanation of why the behavior was
				inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
			</p>
			<h3 id="2-warning">2. Warning</h3>
			<p>
				<strong>Community Impact</strong>: A violation through a single
				incident or series of actions.
			</p>
			<p>
				<strong>Consequence</strong>: A warning with consequences for
				continued behavior. No interaction with the people involved,
				including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code
				of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This includes
				avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external
				channels like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a
				temporary or permanent ban.
			</p>
			<h3 id="3-temporary-ban">3. Temporary Ban</h3>
			<p>
				<strong>Community Impact</strong>: A serious violation of
				community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior.
			</p>
			<p>
				<strong>Consequence</strong>: A temporary ban from any sort of
				interaction or public communication with the community for a
				specified period of time. No public or private interaction with
				the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
				those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this
				period. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
			</p>
			<h3 id="4-permanent-ban">4. Permanent Ban</h3>
			<p>
				<strong>Community Impact</strong>: Demonstrating a pattern of
				violation of community standards, including sustained
				inappropriate behavior, harassment of an individual, or
				aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
			</p>
			<p>
				<strong>Consequence</strong>: A permanent ban from any sort of
				public interaction within the community.
