| LLVM Community Code of Conduct | |
| ============================== | |
| .. note:: | |
| This document is currently a **DRAFT** document while it is being discussed | |
| by the community. | |
| The LLVM community has always worked to be a welcoming and respectful | |
| community, and we want to ensure that doesn't change as we grow and evolve. To | |
| that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to: | |
| * `be friendly and patient`_, | |
| * `be welcoming`_, | |
| * `be considerate`_, | |
| * `be respectful`_, | |
| * `be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others`_, and | |
| * `when we disagree, try to understand why`_. | |
| 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 communicate | |
| and participate in the community. | |
| This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the LLVM project or The | |
| LLVM Foundation. This includes IRC channels, mailing lists, bug trackers, LLVM | |
| events such as the developer meetings and socials, and any other forums created | |
| by the project that the community uses for communication. It applies to all of | |
| your communication and conduct in these spaces, including emails, chats, things | |
| you say, slides, videos, posters, signs, or even t-shirts you display in these | |
| spaces. In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may, in rare | |
| cases, affect a person's ability to participate within them, when the conduct | |
| amounts to an egregious violation of this code. | |
| If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you report | |
| it by emailing conduct@llvm.org. For more details please see our | |
| :doc:`Reporting Guide <ReportingGuide>`. | |
| .. _be friendly and patient: | |
| * **Be friendly and patient.** | |
| .. _be welcoming: | |
| * **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports | |
| people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited | |
| to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, | |
| immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual | |
| orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, | |
| political belief, religion or lack thereof, and mental and physical ability. | |
| .. _be considerate: | |
| * **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. Remember | |
| that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in | |
| someone else's primary language. | |
| .. _be respectful: | |
| * **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 LLVM | |
| community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as | |
| with people outside the LLVM community. | |
| .. _be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others: | |
| * **Be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others.** Do not | |
| insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary | |
| behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to: | |
| * Violent threats or language directed against another person. | |
| * Discriminatory jokes and language. | |
| * Posting sexually explicit or violent material. | |
| * Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying | |
| information ("doxing"). | |
| * Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms. | |
| * Unwelcome sexual attention. | |
| * Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior. | |
| In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop. Persisting in such | |
| behavior after being asked to stop is considered harassment. | |
| .. _when we disagree, try to understand why: | |
| * **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and | |
| technical, happen all the time and LLVM is no exception. It is important that | |
| we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that | |
| we're different. The strength of LLVM 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. Instead, focus on helping | |
| to resolve issues and learning from mistakes. | |
