No changes of Committee members for 2025. + The committee members are [Natalia Morandeira](/author/natalia-morandeira/) (independent member), + [Mark Padgham](/author/mark-padgham) (rOpenSci Software Research Scientist) and + [Yanina Bellini Saibene](/author/yanina-bellini-saibene) (rOpenSci Community Manager). + We are responsible for receiving, investigating, deciding, enforcing, + and responding to all reports of potential violations of our Code. + +2. No changes have been made to the text of the Code in English or Spanish. + +3. The text of the Code of Conduct has been translated into Portuguese, thanks to [Beatriz Milz](/author/beatriz-milz/) and [Francesca Palmeira](/author/francesca-belem-lopes-palmeira/). + The Portuguese version is available at [https://ropensci.org/pt/código-de-conduta/](https://ropensci.org/pt/código-de-conduta/). + + +Because the text has remained unchanged, the version number is kept at 2.5, dated January 30, 2024. + +## Committee Members Activities + +We reflected on how we handle incidents, decide, take necessary actions, and possibly communicate both with reporters and/or reported persons. As a result of this reflection, we have been working on a template to guide the CoC steps. + +Yanina Bellini Saibene attended the Book Club organized by R-Ladies Global to +read and discuss the book ["How to Respond to Code of Conduct Reports"](https://files.frameshiftconsulting.com/books/cocguide.pdf). It was a good opportunity to discuss with and learn from +other CoC member of other organizations including R-Ladies, Bioconductor and Forwards. + +We welcome your feedback by email to conduct at ropensci.org, +and we thank you for continuing to work with us to ensure that rOpenSci remains a safe, +enjoyable, friendly and enriching environment for everyone who participates.
