| # 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.
