[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v1 1/5] Documentation: Add code of conduct

[Kieran Bingham]

Quoting Laurent Pinchart via libcamera-devel (2023-11-10 14:23:07)
> Communities have standards regarding behaviours they consider acceptable
> or not acceptable, and expect community members to follow those
> standards. libcamera is no different, even if it has never clearly
> expressed those standards in a formal code of conduct document.
> 
> Like software licenses, codes of conduct can be written in a myriad of
> ways. And like software licenses, using a widely adopted code of conduct
> instead of writing our own can help bringing clarity. One such standard
> code of conduct is the Contributor Covenant, stewarded by the
> Organization for Ethical Source.
> 
> The Contributor Covenant has been adopted by the freedesktop.org
> organization, which hosts a large number of projects historically
> related to graphics, and more recently to multimedia in general.
> freedesktop.org offers services such as git hosting with CI, which
> libcamera could benefit from. There is therefore a clear incentive to
> choose the same code of conduct as freedesktop.org, and no known
> drawback.
> 
> As a first step towards this, and to keep the libcamera code of conduct
> history clear in git, copy the original Contributor Covenant v1.4 from
> https://github.com/EthicalSource/contributor_covenant/. "v1.4" is
> ambiguous as the document initially published as v1.4 has received small
> (but sometimes significant) modifications over time. The version
> imported here is the most recent, and comes from commit 3fd3bf6d12de
> ("Merge pull request #1321 from story645/patch-2") which is the tip of
> the release branch ([1]).

With a direct import, I won't review this specifically.

Instead this is more reasonable I think:

> +# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
> +
> +## Our Pledge
> +
> +In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
> +contributors and maintainers pledge to make participation in our project and
> +our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
> +size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression,
> +level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal
> +appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
> +
> +## Our Standards
> +
> +Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
> +include:
> +
> +* Using welcoming and inclusive language
> +* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
> +* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
> +* Focusing on what is best for the community
> +* Showing empathy towards other community members
> +
> +Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
> +
> +* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
> +  advances
> +* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
> +* Public or private harassment
> +* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
> +  address, without explicit permission
> +* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
> +  professional setting
> +
> +## Our Responsibilities
> +
> +Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
> +behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
> +response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
> +
> +Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
> +reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
> +that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
> +permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
> +threatening, offensive, or harmful.
> +
> +## Scope
> +
> +This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, and it also applies when
> +an individual is representing the project or its community in public spaces.
> +Examples of representing a project or community include using an official
> +project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting
> +as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of
> +a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
> +
> +## Enforcement
> +
> +Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
> +reported by contacting the project team at [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS]. All
> +complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
> +is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
> +obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
> +Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
> +
> +Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
> +faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
> +members of the project's leadership.
> +
