Guidelines for Good Conduct

Our Pledge [link]

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers wish that participation in our project and our community will be a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Our Standards [link]

Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:

Using welcoming and inclusive language

Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences

Gracefully accepting constructive criticism

Focusing on what is best for the community

Showing empathy towards other community members

Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances

Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks

Public or private harassment

Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission

Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

Our Responsibilities [link]

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.

Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to these conduct guidelines, or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

These conduct guidelines apply both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.

Specifically, in normal circumstances, the scope of these guidelines apply directly to:

The IRC channel and mailing lists

The subreddit (r/libreboot on reddit.com)

The notabug instance (at https://notabug.org/libreboot), which also includes bug reports and code review

The contents of any contributions to Libreboot, including commits to the Git repository

Other communications channels are unofficial, and not part of the Libreboot project.

All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting one of the moderators privately via IRC private message (see list below):

Andrew Robbins: and_who on Freenode, email andrew@libreboot.org

on Freenode, email andrew@libreboot.org Leah Rowe: unoccupied on Freenode, email leah@libreboot.org

on Freenode, email leah@libreboot.org Paul Kocialkowski: paulk-X Freenode (X is variable, for this person, email paul@libreboot.org check in the channel)

Freenode (X is variable, for this person, email paul@libreboot.org check in the channel) Swift Geek: swiftgeek on Freenode, email swiftgeek@libreboot.org

If the complaint is for abuses on the Libreboot subreddit at r/libreboot then there are a separate group of moderators whom you can contact, via private message on the Reddit website. The subreddit has a public list of moderators on it.

If you deviate from these guidelines, make sure that it is with good reason. Treatment of each case will be handled pragmatically, on a case-by-case basis.

These are guidelines, and are not set in stone. We, as moderators, may choose to enforce or not enforce these guidelines, in whole or in part, at our own discretion. We are, after all, only human ourselves and we sometimes make mistakes.
