business faq open source education articles books blog sponsors join mailing list code of conduct introduction the osi s mailing lists aim to facilitate constructive discussion of issues related to open source and further the goals of the osi we can achieve this in part by behaving well towards each other so that the broadest diversity of participants both amateur and professional new and experienced feel that the lists are welcoming and useful this code of conduct helps maintain that environment by capturing the conduct we aspire to when we participate in discussions at osi we strive to be friendly and patient we are volunteers and so a sense of fun is part of why we do what we do be positive and engaging rather than snarky if someone asks for help it is because they need it politely suggest specific documentation or more appropriate venues where appropriate avoid aggressive or vague responses be civil and considerate disagreement is no excuse for poor conduct or personal attacks a community where people feel uncomfortable is not a productive one if you would not feel comfortable saying something to a co worker or acquaintance it is probably not appropriate on an osi list either assume good faith remember that licensing questions are often very complex and difficult to assess if you disagree please do so politely by disputing logical errors and factual premises rather than by attacking individuals if something seems outrageous check that you did not misinterpret it ask for clarification rather than assuming the worst respect time and attention list members are often busy people as a result we value concision and clarity emails that are brief and to the point take more time to write but are repaid many times over when other members of the list make the same effort conversations should remain focused and on topic if you must change the topic start a new thread by changing the topic line of your emails also avoid flooding the list with long threads by reading the entire thread first instead of responding quickly to many emails in a short period of time new members are welcome but should be careful to respect the time and energy of long time list members by doing research in faqs and with search engines before asking questions disclose potential conflicts list discussions often involve interested parties we expect participants to be aware when they are conflicted due to employment or other projects they are involved in and disclose those interests to other project members when in doubt over disclose perceived conflicts of interest are important to address so that the lists decisions are credible even when unpopular difficult or favorable to the interests of one group over another interpretation this code is not exhaustive or complete it is not a rulebook it serves to distill our common understanding of a collaborative shared environment and goals we expect it to be followed in spirit as much as in the letter enforcement most members of the osi community always comply with this code not because of the existence of the code but because they have long experience participating in open source communities where the conduct described above is normal and expected however failure to observe the code may be grounds for reprimand probation or removal from the lists if you have concerns about someone s conduct direct contact it is always appropriate to email a list member mention that you think their behavior was out of line and if necessary point them to this document on list discussing conduct on list either as part of another message or as a standalone thread is always acceptable note though that approaching the person directly can be better as it tends to make them less defensive and it respects the time of other list members so you probably want to try direct contact first moderators you can reach the list moderators by email pamela chestek email protected chris lamb email protected further context other resources while not formally part of this code of conduct can provide useful context and guidance for good behavior chapter 6 of producing oss by alumnus osi board member karl fogel describes common best practices for mailing list participation particularly you are what you write and avoiding common pitfalls rfc 1855 particularly section 2 1 1 user guidelines for mail also provides useful guidelines for sending good emails the ubuntu code of conduct provides useful guidance for group leaders this policy was inspired by the gnome code of conduct the mozilla community participation
