Rather than reinvent the wheel however, I have decided to take GCC's code of conduct and tweak it for us. The revised text is attached below. If you have any strong objections to this please let me know as soon as possible, as I plan to put the text up on the binutils web page and wiki by the end of the week. If you are interested in volunteering to be on the Code Of Conduct committee, please let me know directly, or email binutils-conduct@sourceware.org. In the meantime my boss Mark O'Brian has volunteered to be on the committee so we will be starting off with at least one person. Cheers Nick ------------------------------------------------------------------------- GNU Binutils Code of Conduct Like the free software community as a whole, the GNU Binutils community is made up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers from all over the world, working on every aspect of the project - including mentorship, teaching, and connecting people. Diversity is a huge strength, but it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to. This code applies equally to leaders, maintainers, and those seeking help and guidance. This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can or can't do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it's intended - a guide to make it easier to enrich all of us, the project, and the broader communities in which we participate. This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the GNU Binutils project. This includes the mailing lists, the issue tracker, events, and any other forums created by the project team which the community uses for communication. In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces (though still in the context of the GNU Binutils) may affect a person's ability to participate within them. The rules are: * Be friendly and patient. * Be welcoming. We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to, members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, color, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental or physical ability. * Be considerate. Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions. Remember that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in someone else's primary language. * Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with people outside the community. * Be kind to others and be careful in the words that you choose. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behaviour aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to: - Violent threats or language directed against another person. - Discriminatory jokes and language. - Posting sexually explicit or violent material. - Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying information ("doxing"). - Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms. - Unwelcome sexual attention. - Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour. - Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop. When we disagree, try to understand why. Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and the GNU Binutils community is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. One of the strengths of the free software movement is its varied community, with people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. Don't forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn't get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes. See the GNU Kind Communications Guidelines for more guidance on constructive interactions: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/kind-communication.en.html If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you report it by emailing binutils-conduct@sourceware.org For more details please see our Reporting Guidelines. Code of Conduct Committee The Code of Conduct Committee, and the formal reporting and response procedures, are not yet fully established. For the time being, emailing binutils-conduct@sourceware.org will go to some of the GNU Binutils maintainers. If you are interested in serving on the CoC committee, or would like to suggest someone who you think would be a good candidate, please email binutils-conduct@sourceware.org . Questions? If you have questions, please see the FAQ. If that doesn't answer your questions, feel free to contact us.
