= THIS IS A DRAFT AND WORK IN PROGRESS - Taken wholesale from the Gnome Code of Conduct to start = = Summary = The Linux kernel is one of the most successful software projects in the world. We continue this by behaving well towards each other. Therefore this document suggests what we consider ideal behaviour, so you know what to expect when getting involved in Linux kernel development. This is who we are and what we want to be. There is no official enforcement of these principles, and this should not be interpreted like a legal document. = Advice = * Be respectful and considerate: Disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour or personal attacks. Remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable is not a productive one. Direct and open communication is the best policy and is encouraged, but personal insults and personal attacks cross a line we discourage crossing. * Be patient and generous: If someone asks for help it is because they need it. Do politely suggest specific documentation or more appropriate venues where appropriate, but avoid aggressive or vague responses such as "RTFM". Remember we all started at the beginning at some point, and fresh talent is what is needed to keep this community healthy moving forward into the future. * Assume people mean well: Remember that decisions are often a difficult choice between competing priorities. If you disagree, please do so politely. If something seems outrageous, check that you did not misinterpret it. Ask for clarification, but do not assume the worst. * Try to be concise: Avoid repeating what has been said already. Making a conversation larger makes it difficult to follow, and people often feel personally attacked if they receive multiple messages telling them the same thing. = Applies to = Insert the Vger and other mailing lists I'd like to see companies sign it/endorse it Individuals can also choose to sign it |
