I guess this was my way of dealing=20= with this unfortunate affair.=20 So please find below what I would have submitted for discussion. Thanks and regards! Rainer Fiebig Disclosure =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D My contribution to the Linux kernel is admittedly negligible: I run rc-= kernels, have reported a few problems, helped to fix them and fixed one= =20 myself. To the extent of the time and effort this took me, I dare to gi= ve=20 my opinion in this matter.=20 --- Code of Conduct +++++++++++++++ The goal of the Linux kernel development process is to maintain and adv= ance the most robust operating system kernel ever. Needless to say, views on how to achieve this will differ at times. In order to keep arguments civilized and to ensure an open, positive=20= and constructive environment, we have setup guidelines=20 that participants are expected to comply with: No bias =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Nobody must be discriminated or favored due to personal traits like - for example - age, gender or ethnicity. They are irrelevant. What counts is whether the contribution is in line with a/m goal. Any such contribution will be carefully reviewed. Be excellent to each other =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Straightforward talk is fine. But dissent can be communicated in a=20 non-destructive manner. And keep in mind that at times it may be *you*=20= who is dead wrong. Examples of encouraged behavior: * Being respectful of differing viewpoints * Criticizing constructively, i. e. showing ways for improvement * Accepting constructive criticism * Focusing on what is best for our goal and the community Examples of unacceptable behavior: * Comments intended to insult, depreciate or defame a person * Public or private harassment * Unwelcome sexual attention or advances * Fabricating incriminations by quoting out of context * Publishing others=E2=80=99 private information, such as a physical or= electronic address, without explicit permission * Promoting political agendas * Trolling Responsibilities =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D All participants are responsible for complying with this Code of Conduc= t. Maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable=20= behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective actio= n in=20 response to any instances of obviously unacceptable behavior. Maintainers have the right to ban temporarily or permanently any contri= butor=20 who's behavior is not aligned to this Code of Conduct. Arbitration =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Anyone who feels abused, harassed or affected by otherwise unacceptable= =20 behavior may report this to the Technical Advisory Board (TAB)=20 at .=20 All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a r= esponse=20 that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances.=20 The TAB is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the rep= orter=20 of an incident. Further details of specific arbitration policies may be posted separate= ly. Attribution =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Some elements of this Code of Conduct are derived from the Contributor=20= Covenant, version 1.4, available at https://www.contributor-covenant.or= g/version/1/4/code-of-conduct.html
