| 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. |
