3c81cfb89SPaolo BonziniCode of Conduct
4c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini===============
5c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini
6c81cfb89SPaolo BonziniThe QEMU community is made up of a mixture of professionals and
7c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzinivolunteers from all over the world. Diversity is one of our strengths,
8c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzinibut it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness.
9c81cfb89SPaolo BonziniTo that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to.
10c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini
11c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini* Be welcoming. We are committed to making participation in this project
12c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini  a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of level of
13c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini  experience, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation,
14c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini  disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion,
15c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini  or nationality.
16c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini
17c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini* Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time.  Disagreements, both
18c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini  social and technical, happen all the time and the QEMU community is no
19c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini  exception. When we disagree, we try to understand why.  It is important that
20c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini  we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively.  Members of the
21c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini  QEMU community should be respectful when dealing with other contributors as
22c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini  well as with people outside the QEMU community and with users of QEMU.
23c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini
24c81cfb89SPaolo BonziniHarassment and other exclusionary behavior are not acceptable. A community
25c81cfb89SPaolo Bonziniwhere people feel uncomfortable or threatened is neither welcoming nor
26c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzinirespectful.  Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
27c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini
28c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini* The use of sexualized language or imagery
29c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini
30c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini* Personal attacks
31c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini
32c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini* Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments
33c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini
34c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini* Public or private harassment
35c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini
36c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini* Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic
37c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini  addresses, without explicit permission
38c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini
39c81cfb89SPaolo BonziniThis isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather, take
40c81cfb89SPaolo Bonziniit in the spirit in which it's intended: a guide to make it easier to
41c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzinibe excellent to each other.
42c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini
43c81cfb89SPaolo BonziniThis code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the QEMU project.
44c81cfb89SPaolo BonziniThis includes IRC, the mailing lists, the issue tracker, community
45c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzinievents, and any other forums created by the project team which the
46c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzinicommunity uses for communication. This code of conduct also applies
47c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzinioutside these spaces, when an individual acts as a representative or a
48c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzinimember of the project or its community.
49c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzini

51c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzinito fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of
52c81cfb89SPaolo Bonzinimanaging this project.  If you believe someone is violating the code of
