CODE OF CONDUCT
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. For more details please see our
Reporting Guidelines.
* 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.
