            # Code of conduct


            The Flutter project expects Flutter's contributors to act professionally

            
            and respectfully. Flutter contributors are expected to maintain the safety

            
            and dignity of Flutter's social environments (such as GitHub and Discord).


            Specifically:


            * Respect people, their identities, their culture, and their work.

            
            * Be kind. Be courteous. Be welcoming.

            
            * Listen. Consider and acknowledge people's points before responding.


            Should you experience anything that makes you feel unwelcome in Flutter's

            
            community, please contact [conduct@flutter.dev](mailto:conduct@flutter.dev)

            
            or, if you prefer, directly contact someone on the project, for instance

            
            [Hixie](mailto:ian@hixie.ch).


            The Flutter project will not tolerate harassment in Flutter's

            
            community, even outside of Flutter's public communication channels.


            ## Conflict resolution


            When multiple contributors disagree on the direction for a particular

            
            patch or the general direction of the project, the conflict should be

            
            resolved by communication. The people who disagree should get

            
            together, try to understand each other's points of view, and work to

            
            find a design that addresses everyone's concerns.


            This is usually sufficient to resolve issues. If you cannot come to an

            
            agreement, ask for the advice of a more senior member of the project.


            Be wary of agreement by attrition, where one person argues a point

            
            repeatedly until other participants give up in the interests of moving

            
            on. This is not conflict resolution, as it does not address everyone's

            
            concerns. Be wary of agreement by compromise, where two good competing

            
            solutions are merged into one mediocre solution. A conflict is

            
            addressed when the participants agree that the final solution is

            
            _better_ than all the conflicting proposals. Sometimes the solution is

            
            more work than either of the proposals. [Embrace the yak shave](./docs/contributing/Style-guide-for-Flutter-repo.md#lazy-programming).


            ## Questions


            It's always ok to ask questions. Our systems are large, and nobody will be

            
            an expert in all the systems. Once you find the answer, document it in

            
            the first place you looked. That way, the next person will be brought

            
            up to speed even quicker.
