= Clarifying Notes and Statements

:page-aliases: project::coc-clarifying.adoc

|
|
== Clarifications
|
|
|
|
The Code of Conduct and its associated documents are “living documents.”
|
|
They will change over time as the Fedora community changes. This supplemental document exists to provide additional background and clarification to the Code of Conduct.
|
|
All changes to the Code of Conduct and associated documents will be tracked with change information and date of change details in a Change History document maintained by the FCAIC.
|
|
|
|
== Awareness
|
|
|
|
A Code of Conduct is only effective if people know about it and know how to report an incident when needed.
|
|
This Code of Conduct and its associated documents will be linked in the footer of all major Fedora Websites and where possible in other project communications.
|
|
|
|
All events will prominently display our Code of Conduct and publish any additional event specific notes, such as points of contact.
|
|
If an event allows in-person reporting (see the Reporting Details and Response Process documents for more information), the process for doing this must be prominently displayed.
|
|
|
|
In person events organized by Fedora must make physical copies of the Code of Conduct available for attendees or make signage about it.
|
|
Online events must have a link to the Code of Conduct prominently displayed on the event home page.
|
|
If the platform allows, online events should ask for attendees to agree to abide by the Code of Conduct as part of the event registration.
|
|
|
|
== Why was the word “contributor” from the Contributor Covenant removed when it was adapted for Fedora?
|
|
|
|
We need a code of conduct that speaks to everyone who interacts with our community.
|
|
Many of us may understand the word “contributor” to encompass everyone from a mailing list participant, forum poster, bug reporter, documentarian, designer, developer, etc., but not everyone understands it this way.
|
|
Additionally, many of our events are attended by users.
|
|
Speaking about the community is a more clear definition of the individuals covered in this Code.
