Community Code of Conduct

All participants in the Sanity.io community must comply with the Sanity.io code of conduct. This includes discussions and contributions to GitHub repositories, our Slack workspace, meetups, events, and other venues hosted by Sanity.io. We’re all on the same team and responsible for maintaining a welcoming community.

If you join the Sanity Slack, you will be welcomed with this message:

This space is community-driven, so feel free to suggest new channels, emojis, integrations, or whatever you think will make this place better and more useful for everyone (#ideas-and-feedback). We welcome everyone to help each other out!

Read this before asking for help:

• Keep the noise down by only posting a question in one appropriate channel (we will delete duplicates without notice)
• State your problem/question in the main message, and provide useful context in threads (error messages, steps to reproduce, etc.)
• Make code examples easy to read by using the code block formatting or linking to gists on Github, etc.
• Do not tag Sanity team members in threads or send them Direct Messages, even though you are frustrated and stuck. This is incredibly distracting for the team and undermines the purpose of a community where your question can be helpful to others. The Sanity team is told to ignore unsolicited DMs.
• If you use ChatGPT to help people, check the quality of the answer first. ChatGPT often gets it wrong.

Everyone at Sanity is dedicated to providing an inclusive, safe, and harassment-free environment for all participants regardless of age, disability, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, or religion (or lack thereof). This includes memes, emojis, and GIFs. And remember, we’re not only “guys” – including us at Sanity HQ – (we are people, folks, friends, y’all, etc.).

All attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers must agree with this code of conduct at events and in our community spaces. We expect cooperation from everyone to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

If someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please report it as soon as possible.

You can make a report by:

• Contacting a member of Sanity HQ as denoted in their community chat username
• Emailing: community@sanity.io

First of all, thank you for reading this! We want you to come to our community and feel that you can be your authentic self.
