This GitHub organization is maintained by the National Security Agency. Our public repositories are intended to facilitate open-source collaboration, software development, technical innovation, and limited project-specific support.
For the purposes of public participation, this organization and its associated repositories operate as a limited public forum. We welcome constructive feedback, bug reports, feature requests, and code contributions that directly relate to the technical mission of the hosted projects.
To foster a collaborative and professional environment, all participants are expected to:
- Be respectful, professional, and considerate of fellow contributors.
- Focus discussions strictly on the development, maintenance, and technical support of the specific project.
- Provide constructive, evidence-based feedback during code reviews and issue discussions.
Because this is a limited public forum dedicated to technical development, content must remain germane to the specific project. The following forms of content are strictly prohibited and are subject to removal or moderation by organization or project administrators:
- Off-Topic Content: Any comments, issues, or pull requests that are unrelated to the technical development, support, or scope of the hosted project.
- Political or Policy Lobbying: General political commentary, advocacy, or grievances regarding agency policies that do not directly impact the source code or technical implementation.
- Commercial Solicitation: Spam, advertising, or promotion of commercial products, services, or links unrelated to the project's dependencies.
- Harassment and Abuse: Defamatory, insulting, hateful, or discriminatory language targeted at individuals or groups.
- Disruptive Behavior: Trolling, personal attacks, inflammatory remarks, or repetitive postings designed to hijack technical discussions.
Organization administrators and project maintainers retain the authority to moderate this platform to preserve its purpose as a productive engineering space. Enforcement actions may include:
- Content Removal: Deletion or hiding of comments, issues, or pull requests deemed off-topic or in violation of this policy.
- Warnings: Formal notifications to users requesting alignment with the forum guidelines.
- Participation Restrictions: Temporary or permanent blocks from interacting with this organization's repositories for repeated or severe violations.
- GitHub Referrals: Referral to GitHub support for further action in accordance with GitHub's Terms of Use.
We respect your right to engage with our agency on broader topics. If you wish to discuss general agency policies, submit public comments, or seek non-technical public records, please use our official public channels instead of these development repositories.
