The openSUSE Code of Conduct is a set of guidelines that explains how our community behaves and what we value as members and to outsiders. This Code of Conduct is a living document and will be updated when and as deemed necessary.
The Code of Conduct does not seek to restrict speech or penalize non-native speakers of English or any other language. Instead the Code of Conduct spells out the kinds of behaviors we, as a community, find to be acceptable and unacceptable.
The Code of Conduct is, in many ways, the outward embodiment of the components of openSUSE. It is important to assume good faith and remember that many of our contributors may have different backgrounds which could color their approach in all things.
The openSUSE community is dedicated to providing a positive experience for everyone, regardless of such attributes (including, but not limited to):
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
This Code of Conduct applies to all openSUSE community spaces and anything using the openSUSE trademarks. This includes, but is not limited to:
Communication channels and private conversations that are normally out of scope may be considered in scope if an openSUSE participant is being stalked or harassed. Social media conversations may be considered in-scope if the incident occurred under an openSUSE event hashtag, or when an official openSUSE account on social media is tagged, or within any other discussion about openSUSE. openSUSE reserves the right to take actions against behaviors that happen in any context, if they are deemed to be relevant to the openSUSE project and its participants.
All participants in openSUSE community spaces are subject to the Code of Conduct. This includes volunteers, maintainers, leaders, contributors, contribution reviewers, issue reporters, openSUSE users, and anyone participating in discussions in openSUSE community spaces. For community events, this also includes all attendees, exhibitors, vendors, speakers, panelists, organizers, staff, and volunteers.
