Our principles evolve +around the following: + +* It's not the user's fault if something goes wrong. +* Attempt collaboration before conflict. +* People who intentionally insult others (users, developers, corporations, + other projects, or the coreboot project itself) will be dealt with. See + policy below. +* We are dealing with hardware with lots of undocumented pitfalls. It is quite + possible that you did everything right, but coreboot or its tools still + won't work for you. + +Refrain from insulting anyone or the group they belong to. Remember that +people might be sensitive to other things than you are. + +Most of our community members are not native English speakers, thus +misunderstandings can (and do) happen. Always assume that others are +friendly and may have picked less-than-stellar wording by accident. + +If you feel that you have been treated unfairly, we want to hear about +it so we can handle the situation. Please contact our arbitration team +directly: They will listen to you. If you don't get a response within +a few days, your mail was probably lost. Please resend your mail to +another member of the arbitration team in that case. + +## Unacceptable Behavior + +Unacceptable behaviors include: intimidating, harassing, abusive, +discriminatory, derogatory or demeaning speech or actions by any +participant in our community online, at all related events and in +one-on-one communications carried out in the context of community +business. Community event venues may be shared with members of the public; +please be respectful to all patrons of these locations. + +Examples of behaviors we do not accept in our community: + +* harmful or prejudicial verbal or written comments related to gender, + sexual orientation, race, religion, disability; +* inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual advances; +* deliberate intimidation, stalking or following; +* harassing photography or recording; +* sustained disruption of talks or other events. + +Using this code of conduct aggressively against other people in the +community might also be harassment. Be considerate when enforcing the code +of conduct and always try to listen to both sides before passing judgment. + +## Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior + +Unacceptable behavior from any community member, including sponsors and +those with decision-making authority, will not be tolerated. + +Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply +immediately. + +If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the community +organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including +a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community without warning +(and without refund in the case of a paid event). Community organizers +can be part of the arbitration team, or organizers of events and online +communities. + +## If You Witness or Are Subject to Unacceptable Behavior + +If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other +concerns, please notify someone from the arbitration team immediately. + + +## Addressing Grievances + +If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating this +Code of Conduct, you should notify the arbitration team with a concise +description of your grievance. + +## Scope + +We expect all community participants (contributors, paid or otherwise; +sponsors; and other guests) to abide by this Code of Conduct in all +community venues, online and in-person, as well as in all one-on-one +communications pertaining to community business. + +## Contact info + +Our arbitration team consists of the following people +* Stefan Reinauer +* Patrick Georgi +* Ronald Minnich +* Marc Jones + +## License and attribution + +This Code of Conduct is distributed under +a [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike +license](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).
