# BIND 9 Code of Conduct
|
|
|
|
Like the technical community as a whole, the BIND 9 team and community is made
|
|
up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers from all over the world, working
|
|
on every aspect of the mission - including mentorship, teaching, and connecting
|
|
people.
|
|
|
|
Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to communication
|
|
issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask
|
|
people to adhere to. This code applies equally to the core development team,
|
|
open source contributors and those seeking help and guidance.
|
|
|
|
This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather, take it in
|
|
the spirit in which it's intended - a guide to make it easier to enrich all of
|
|
us and the technical communities in which we participate.
|
|
|
|
This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the BIND 9 project or
|
|
Internet Systems Consortium. This includes chat, the mailing lists, the issue
|
|
tracker, and any other fora created by the project team which the
|
|
community uses for communication. In addition, violations of this code outside
|
|
these spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them.
|
|
|
|
If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you report
|
|
it by emailing [conduct@isc.org](conduct@isc.org). For more details please see
|
|
our [Reporting Guidelines](https://www.isc.org/conductreporting/).
|
|
|
|
* **Be friendly and patient.**
|
|
* **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports
|
|
people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to
|
|
members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration
|
|
status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation,
|
|
gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief,
|
|
religion, and mental and physical ability.
|
|
* **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn
|
|
will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and
|
|
colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making
|
|
decisions. Remember that we're a world-wide community, so you might not be
|
|
communicating in someone else's primary language.
|
|
* **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is
|
|
no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some
|
|
frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a
|
|
personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel
|
|
uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the BIND 9
|
|
community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with
|
|
people outside the BIND 9 community.
|
|
* **Be careful in the words that you choose.** We are a community of
|
|
professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do
|
|
not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary
|
|
behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
|
|
* Violent threats or language directed against another person.
|
|
* Discriminatory jokes and language.
|
|
* Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
|
|
* Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally identifying
|
|
information ("doxing").
|
|
* Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
|
|
* Unwelcome sexual attention.
|
|
* Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
|
|
* Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then
|
|
stop.
|
|
* **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and
|
|
technical, happen all the time and BIND 9 is no exception. It is important
|
|
that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember
|
|
that we're different. The strength of BIND 9 comes from its varied community,
|
|
people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different
|
|
perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a
|
|
viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. Don't forget that it is human to
|
|
err and blaming each other doesn't get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping
|
|
to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
