# Code of Conduct
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This code of conduct outlines our rules and expectations for everybody
|
||
|
|
participating in the coreboot community.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Mailing list and chat etiquette
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We have a friendly and productive atmosphere on our mailing lists,
|
||
|
|
development / code review tools and IRC chat rooms. Our principles evolve
|
||
|
|
around the following:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* It's not the user's fault if something goes wrong.
|
||
|
|
* Attempt collaboration before conflict.
|
||
|
|
* People who intentionally insult others (users, developers, corporations,
|
||
|
|
other projects, or the coreboot project itself) will be dealt with. See
|
||
|
|
policy below.
|
||
|
|
* We are dealing with hardware with lots of undocumented pitfalls. It is quite
|
||
|
|
possible that you did everything right, but coreboot or its tools still
|
||
|
|
won't work for you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Refrain from insulting anyone or the group they belong to. Remember that
|
||
|
|
people might be sensitive to other things than you are.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most of our community members are not native English speakers, thus
|
||
|
|
misunderstandings can (and do) happen. Always assume that others are
|
||
|
|
friendly and may have picked less-than-stellar wording by accident.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you feel that you have been treated unfairly, we want to hear about
|
||
|
|
it so we can handle the situation. Please contact our arbitration team
|
||
|
|
directly: They will listen to you. If you don't get a response within
|
||
|
|
a few days, your mail was probably lost. Please resend your mail to
|
||
|
|
another member of the arbitration team in that case.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Unacceptable Behavior
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unacceptable behaviors include: intimidating, harassing, abusive,
|
||
|
|
discriminatory, derogatory or demeaning speech or actions by any
|
||
|
|
participant in our community online, at all related events and in
|
||
|
|
one-on-one communications carried out in the context of community
|
||
|
|
business. Community event venues may be shared with members of the public;
|
||
|
|
please be respectful to all patrons of these locations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Examples of behaviors we do not accept in our community:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* harmful or prejudicial verbal or written comments related to gender,
|
||
|
|
sexual orientation, race, religion, disability;
|
||
|
|
* inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual advances;
|
||
|
|
* deliberate intimidation, stalking or following;
|
||
|
|
* harassing photography or recording;
|
||
|
|
* sustained disruption of talks or other events.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using this code of conduct aggressively against other people in the
|
||
|
|
community might also be harassment. Be considerate when enforcing the code
|
||
|
|
of conduct and always try to listen to both sides before passing judgment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Unacceptable behavior from any community member, including sponsors and
|
||
|
|
those with decision-making authority, will not be tolerated.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply
|
||
|
|
immediately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the community
|
||
|
|
organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including
|
||
|
|
a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community without warning
|
||
|
|
(and without refund in the case of a paid event). Community organizers
|
||
|
|
can be part of the arbitration team, or organizers of events and online
|
||
|
|
communities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## If You Witness or Are Subject to Unacceptable Behavior
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other
|
||
|
|
concerns, please notify someone from the arbitration team immediately.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Addressing Grievances
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating this
|
||
|
|
Code of Conduct, you should notify the arbitration team with a concise
|
||
|
|
description of your grievance.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Scope

||
|
|

||

|
||
|
|
sponsors; and other guests) to abide by this Code of Conduct in all
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
