% Guidelines for Good Conduct in the Libreboot community

Our Pledge

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers wish that participation in our project and our community will be a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, 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

Project 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.

Project 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.

Specifically, in normal circumstances, the scope of this Code of Conduct applies directly to:

• The IRC channel (#libreboot on Freenode)
• The subreddit (r/libreboot on reddit.com)
• The notabug instance (at https://notabug.org/libreboot), which also includes bug reports and code review
• The contents of any contributions to Libreboot, including commits to the Git repository

Other communications channels are unofficial, and not part of the Libreboot project.

Complaints

All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting one of the moderators privately via IRC private message (see list below):

• Alyssa Rosenzweig: alyssa on Freenode
• Jason Self: jxself on Freenode
• Leah Rowe: _4of7 on Freenode
• Paul Kocialkowski: paulk-X Freenode (X is variable, for this person. check in the channel)
• Swift Geek: swiftgeek on Freenode

If the complaint is for abuses on the Libreboot subreddit at r/libreboot then there are a separate group of moderators whom you can contact, via private message on the Reddit website:

• hexacat
• pizzaiolo_
• libreleah

If you deviate from these guidelines, make sure that it is with good reason. Treatment of each case will be handled pragmatically, on a case-by-case basis.

These are guidelines, and are not set in stone. We, as moderators, may choose to enforce or not enforce these guidelines, in whole or in part, at our own discretion. We are, after all, only human ourselves and we sometimes make mistakes.
