- 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."
