Our Responsibilities

40+

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

41+42+

Maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior

43+

and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to

44+

any instances of unacceptable behavior.

45+46+

Maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject

47+

comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are

48+

not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any

49+

contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening,

50+

offensive, or harmful.

51+52+

Scope

53+

=====

54+55+

This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces

56+

when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of

57+

representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail

58+

address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed

59+

representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be

60+

further defined and clarified by project maintainers.

61+62+

Enforcement

63+

===========

64+65+

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

66+

reported by contacting the Technical Advisory Board (TAB) at

67+

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

68+

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

69+

appropriate to the circumstances. The TAB is obligated to maintain

70+

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

71+

specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

72+73+

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

74+

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

75+

project’s leadership.

76+77+
