Personal attacks, hate speech, trolling, baiting, +spamming, and discrimination on the basis of such things as gender, +race, and sexuality, will not be tolerated. + +We are working towards user freedom for everyone, and that includes +those who do not fully agree with us. Rather than condemning +individuals for not agreeing wholeheartedly or even disagreeing, +respectfully try to help them better understand, and try to understand +their views as well. This requires persistently maintaining our best +behavior. Frustration from a disagreement or even deliberate +agitation is not a valid excuse for poor behavior. Differing views +are a strength for diverse communities, and they should be resolved +constructively, always with an eye toward finding common ground, +giving each other the benefit of the doubt, and being cautious of +misinterpretation. Avoid over-defensive or aggressive reactions and +try to pacify any disruptive situations as early as possible to +prevent conflicts from escalating. A productive community makes +people feel comfortable and welcome. + +## Be mindful. + +Keep in consideration that our actions directly affect others, +including colleagues and the public, and reflect on EmacsConf's work +as a whole. This includes many basic things like asking for help if +unsure about something, or announcing when we leave a project and +trying to find others who can pick up where we leave off. We are all +working together for free software, and the success of our efforts +depends on our ability to cooperate. Our contributions are all +valuable and will be built upon by others, and in turn our work will +depend on that of others. + +## Work together. + +Aim to make allies wherever possible, and avoid burning bridges. We +should stand by our strong set of ideals while remaining very +welcoming as a movement. Collaboration is highly encouraged. Reach +out to as many individuals as well as existing projects and groups as +possible. All work should be done as transparently as possible and +published in a way that enables others to discuss and get involved +with your efforts. + +## Advocate Freedom. + +The free software movement is first and foremost a social movement, so +please be sure to have read our critical documents and understand our +core philosophy. In accordance with 1-3, please do not be aggressive +toward others who may not immediately share the same views. If we are +not encouraging and respectful, we can't hope to gain their support. +Frame issues and arguments in a way which is conducive to changing +minds, not alienating visitors. People are unlikely to listen if they +feel in any way like they're being attacked. They are much more +receptive to ideas which presented in a positive and constructive way. +Being respectful doesn't mean sacrificing our core ideals; we should +always frame the issues we work on in terms of those ideals. That +means using language that foregrounds freedom, like referring to the +operating system we promote as +["GNU/Linux"](//www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html), talking about +[free software rather than open +source](//www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html), +and encouraging people to try [distributions that are fully committed +to freedom](//www.gnu.org/distros/free-distros.html). -- cgit v1.2.3
