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