1 .. _code_of_conduct: 2 3 Code of Conduct 4 =============== 5 6 The QEMU community is made up of a mixture of professionals and 7 volunteers from all over the world. Diversity is one of our strengths, 8 but it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness. 9 To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to. 10 11 * Be welcoming. We are committed to making participation in this project 12 a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of level of 13 experience, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, 14 disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, 15 or nationality. 16 17 * Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time. Disagreements, both 18 social and technical, happen all the time and the QEMU community is no 19 exception. When we disagree, we try to understand why. It is important that 20 we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Members of the 21 QEMU community should be respectful when dealing with other contributors as 22 well as with people outside the QEMU community and with users of QEMU. 23 24 Harassment and other exclusionary behavior are not acceptable. A community 25 where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is neither welcoming nor 26 respectful. Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include: 27 28 * The use of sexualized language or imagery 29 30 * Personal attacks 31 32 * Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments 33 34 * Public or private harassment 35 36 * Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic 37 addresses, without explicit permission 38 39 This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather, take 40 it in the spirit in which it's intended: a guide to make it easier to 41 be excellent to each other. 42 43 This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the QEMU project. 44 This includes IRC, the mailing lists, the issue tracker, community 45 events, and any other forums created by the project team which the 46 community uses for communication. This code of conduct also applies 47 outside these spaces, when an individual acts as a representative or a 48 member of the project or its community. 49 50 By adopting this code of conduct, project maintainers commit themselves 51 to fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of 52 managing this project. If you believe someone is violating the code of 53 conduct, please read the :ref:`conflict-resolution` document for 54 information about how to proceed. 55 56 Sources 57 ------- 58 59 This document is based on the `Fedora Code of Conduct 60 <http://web.archive.org/web/20210429132536/https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/>`__ 61 (as of April 2021) and the `Contributor Covenant version 1.3.0 62 <https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/3/0/code-of-conduct/>`__.
