This Code of Conduct is designed to provide a set of guidelines for acting as an open-appsec Ambassador.

In the interest of creating an open and welcoming environment within our community of users, we as ambassadors pledge to make participation in our community (project) 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, colour, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, kind, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
