openSUSE Project Code of Conduct

This project is where the project Code of Conduct is maintained.

People who have an issue or questions about a potential Code of Conduct violation can contact the Moderation Team by filing a private issue.

This applies to all circumstances.

If you feel someone has infringed upon the code of conduct, project moderators will discuss the matter in question with you. The project has processes in place to discuss, arbitrate and address issues that arise within the project.

If you file a complaint, please list all the facts and reasoning for the complaint. Provide context, text and screenshots if necessary. Provide a self reflective paragraph of any interactions with the person violating the code of conduct. Provide a potential course of action to resolve the situation.

Practical info that is useful for those who will look into a complaint:

• Your contact info (so we can get in touch with you if we need to follow up)

• Names (real, nicknames, or pseudonyms) of any individuals involved. If there were other witnesses besides you, please try to include them as well.

• When and where the incident occurred. Please be as specific as possible.

• Your account of what occurred. If there is a publicly available record (e.g. a mailing list archive or a public IRC logger) please include a link.

• Any extra context you believe existed for the incident?

• Do you believe this incident is ongoing?

• Any other information you believe we should have?

We cover complaints against a board members. In such a case, consider reporting via a proxy (i.e board member of your choice) should you feel uncomfortable reporting it in this format.
