| On this page you find the conduct that was agreed upon by the community of FSFE. Acting,communicating and reacting along the demands of this code of conduct shall allow us to collaborate and communicate in peace and respect to each other. In case someone trespasses this code of conduct, be fair and assume good faith first. Sometimes person have a bad time, they lack proper (English) language skills or there is just a misunderstanding. As a first step, please point any trespasser to this page and remind him on good communication rules. | https://fsfe.org/about/codeofconduct |

| Only in case someone does resist to comply with this code of conduct - even after being reminded - it might be appropriate to exclude him from community gatherings or mailing lists. This is the respect to everybody else involved in the communicaton. In local groups such a decision can be taken by the group itself, in public mailing lists by the FSFE, this decision will be taken by the Mailing list owner in agreement with our community team. = FSFE Code of Conduct = == Be respectful == In an organisation like FSFE, inevitably there will be people with whom you may disagree, or find it difficult to cooperate. Accept that, but even so, remain respectful. Disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour or personal attacks, and a community in which people feel threatened is not a healthy community. == Assume good faith == FSFE contributors have many ways to further Free Software and work for freedom in the digital society, which may differ from your ways. Assume that other people are working towards the same goal. Note that many of our contributors are not native English speakers or may have different cultural backgrounds. == Be collaborative == FSFE is a complex organisation; there is always more to learn within FSFE. It's good to ask for help when you need it. Similarly, offers for help should be seen in the context of our shared goal of working for a Free Society. When you do something for the benefit of Free Software, be willing to explain to others how it works, so that they can build on your work to make it even better. == Try to be concise == Keep in mind that what you write once will be read by hundreds of persons. Writing a short email means people can understand the conversation as efficiently as possible. When a long explanation is necessary, consider adding a summary. Try to bring new arguments to a conversation so that each mail adds something unique to the thread, keeping in mind that the rest of the thread still contains the other messages with arguments that have already been made. Try to stay on topic, especially in discussions that are already fairly large. == Be open == Most ways of communication used within FSFE allow for public and private communication. You should preferably use public methods of communication for FSFE-related messages, unless posting something sensitive. This applies to messages for help or support by the FSFE as well; not only is a public support request much more likely to result in an answer to your question, it also makes sure that any inadvertent mistakes made by people answering your question will be more easily detected and corrected. == In case of problems == While this code of conduct should be adhered to by participants, we recognise that sometimes people may have a bad day, or be unaware of some of the guidelines in this code of conduct. When that happens, you may reply to them and point out this code of conduct. Such messages may be in public or in private, whatever is most appropriate. However, regardless of whether the message is public or not, it should still adhere to the relevant parts of this code of conduct; in particular, it should not be abusive or disrespectful. Assume good faith; it is more likely that participants are unaware of their bad behaviour than that they intentionally try to degrade the quality of the discussion. Serious or persistent offenders will be warned and in a final step might be temporarily or permanently banned from communicating through FSFE's systems. Complaints should be made (in private) to LISTNAME-owner@lists.fsfe.org or fellowship@fsfeurope.org. Both ways, your message ends up in closed communication channels, will kept private and handled with respect. In case of doubt, there will be an arbitral court and the chance to defend. = Guidelines for FSFE mailing lists = Following our social rules from the Code of Conduct that is written above, we identify the following rules for behaviour on FSFE mailing list * Avoid personal attacks. Disagreement and technical criticism is good for democratic decisions and supposed to be a good thing, as long as you stay on topic and avoid personal attacks. * Do not post or cite private mails to you on public mailing lists without permission of the initial author * Explain yourself and try to understand other people's arguments. Avoid citing out of context or misleading snippets. When other people do not understand you, avoid repeating yourself but better try to explain it another way. * 99% of our community are engaging in their spare time and have other hobbies or duties aside. Before blaming someone to be late, give everyone enough time to react (minimum of 48h) and respect weekends for many people as a time to be offline. * Try to keep to rules of Mailing List Netiquette. This includes to avoid multiposting, cross-posting, off-topic posting or hijacking a discussion thread. Also, please use methods to minimize the effort required to read a post or a thread. You can find good and general tips about this in the internet and herewith our minimum standards for good communication: * use only plain-text emails * trim quotes to a minimum * respond directly after each quote * signatures should have a maximum of 4-5 lines * don't start a new thread by responding to an old message * for long emails, start with a summary in the beginning * finally: keep to our code of conduct written above : ) ''This Code of Conduct is inspired by the [[https://www.debian.org/vote/2014/vote_002|Debian Code of Conduct]].'' |
