Code of Conduct: Let's revamp it.

Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Our Pledge

==========

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as

contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and

our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body

size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and

expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality,

personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

Our Standards

=============

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

====================

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.

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 this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any

contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening,

offensive, or harmful.

Scope

=====

This Code of Conduct applies 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.

Enforcement

===========

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be

reported by contacting the Technical Advisory Board (TAB) at

<tab@lists.linux-foundation.org>. All complaints will be reviewed and

investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and

appropriate to the circumstances. The TAB is obligated to maintain

confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.  Further details of

specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

Maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may

face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the

project’s leadership.

Attribution

===========

This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 1.4,

available at https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html

Code of Conflict

----------------

The Linux kernel development effort is a very personal process compared

to "traditional" ways of developing software.  Your code and ideas

behind it will be carefully reviewed, often resulting in critique and

criticism.  The review will almost always require improvements to the

code before it can be included in the kernel.  Know that this happens

because everyone involved wants to see the best possible solution for

the overall success of Linux.  This development process has been proven

to create the most robust operating system kernel ever, and we do not

want to do anything to cause the quality of submission and eventual

result to ever decrease.

If however, anyone feels personally abused, threatened, or otherwise

uncomfortable due to this process, that is not acceptable.  If so,

please contact the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board at

<tab@lists.linux-foundation.org>, or the individual members, and they

will work to resolve the issue to the best of their ability.  For more

information on who is on the Technical Advisory Board and what their

role is, please see:

	- http://www.linuxfoundation.org/projects/linux/tab

As a reviewer of code, please strive to keep things civil and focused on

the technical issues involved.  We are all humans, and frustrations can

be high on both sides of the process.  Try to keep in mind the immortal

words of Bill and Ted, "Be excellent to each other."
