The fedora kde sig discussed the matter of fostering high-quality community interactions in today's irc meeting, and decided to act as follows: * Add references/reminders to fedora code of conduct in irc channels/topics, and mailing lists * Periodically review community conduct (primarily in our weekly kde-sig meetings) * Enact a policy of enforcement of CoC more strictly than in the past This message serves as a friendly reminder that the kde-sig expects a high level of conduct and collaboration as outlined in: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct For completeness, I append its content below. This message also serves as a reminder that these expectations will be enforced in accordance with: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_working_group/CoC_Enforcement If anyone feels any level of unfriendliness or bad behavior, please highlight it here onlist or contact individual kde-sig members (me included). Thank you all for your consideration. -- Rex ------------------------------- Code of Conduct The Fedora community is made up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers from all over the world, working on every aspect of the distribution from coding through to marketing. Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to when they're using project resources. 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 be excellent to each other. Be considerate. 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 when making decisions. Be respectful. 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 Fedora community should be respectful when dealing with other contributors as well as with people outside the Fedora community and with users of Fedora. When we disagree, we try to understand why. Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and Fedora is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we're different. The strength of Fedora 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, rather offer to help resolving issues and to help learn from mistakes. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
