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.
