3Code of Conduct

6The QEMU community is made up of a mixture of professionals and
7volunteers from all over the world. Diversity is one of our strengths,
8but it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness.
9To 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
24Harassment and other exclusionary behavior are not acceptable. A community
25where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is neither welcoming nor
26respectful.  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
39This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather, take
40it in the spirit in which it's intended: a guide to make it easier to
41be excellent to each other.
42
43This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the QEMU project.
44This includes IRC, the mailing lists, the issue tracker, community
45events, and any other forums created by the project team which the
46community uses for communication. This code of conduct also applies
47outside these spaces, when an individual acts as a representative or a
48member of the project or its community.
49
50By adopting this code of conduct, project maintainers commit themselves
51to fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of
52managing this project.  If you believe someone is violating the code of
53conduct, please read the :ref:`conflict-resolution` document for
54information about how to proceed.
