<h2>&os; Community Code of Conduct</h2>
<p>The &os; community has always worked to be a welcoming and
respectful community, and we want to ensure that doesn't change
as we grow and evolve. To that end, we have a few ground rules
that we ask people to adhere to:</p>
<ul>
<li>be friendly and patient,</li>
<li>be welcoming,</li>
<li>be considerate,</li>
<li>be respectful,</li>
<li>be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to
others,</li>
<li>when we disagree, try to understand why.</li>
</ul>
<p>This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do.
Rather, take it in the spirit in which it's intended - a guide
to make it easier to communicate and participate in the
community.</p>
<p>This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the &os;
project. This includes online chat, mailing lists, bug trackers,
&os; events such as the developer meetings and socials, and any
other forums created by the project that the community uses for
communication. It applies to all of your communication and
conduct in these spaces, including emails, chats, things you
say, slides, videos, posters, signs, or even t-shirts you
display in these spaces. In addition, violations of this code
outside these spaces may, in rare cases, affect a person's
ability to participate within them, when the conduct amounts to
an egregious violation of this code.</p>
<p>If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask
that you report it by emailing <a
href="mailto:conduct@freebsd.org">conduct@FreeBSD.org</a>. For
more details please see our <a
href="conduct-reporting.html">Reporting Guide</a>.</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Be friendly and patient.</b></li>
<li><b>Be welcoming.</b> 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 or lack thereof, and mental and physical
ability.</li>
<li><b>Be considerate.</b> 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. Remember that
we're a world-wide community, so you might not be
communicating in someone else's primary language.</li>
<li><b>Be respectful.</b> Not all of us will agree all the time,
but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior 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 &os; community should be
respectful when dealing with other members as well as with
people outside the &os; community.</li>
<li><b>Be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to
others.</b> Do not insult or put down other participants.
Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable.
This includes, but is not limited to:
<ul>
<li>Violent threats or language directed against another
person.</li>
<li>Discriminatory jokes and language.</li>
<li>Posting sexually explicit or violent material.</li>
<li>Posting (or threatening to post) other people's
personally identifying information ("doxing").</li>
<li>Personal insults, especially those using racist or
sexist terms.</li>
<li>Unwelcome sexual attention.</li>
<li>Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above
behavior.</li></ul></li>
<li><b>In general, if someone asks you to stop, then
stop.</b> Persisting in such behavior after being asked to
stop is considered harassment.</li>
<li><b>When we disagree, try to understand why.</b>
Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the
time and &os; is no exception. It is important that we
resolve disagreements and differing views constructively.
Remember that we're different. The strength of &os; comes
from its varied community, 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.</li></ul>
