|  | Code of Conduct | 
|  | =============== | 
|  |  | 
|  | The QEMU community is made up of a mixture of professionals and | 
|  | volunteers from all over the world. Diversity is one of our 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. | 
|  |  | 
|  | * Be welcoming. We are committed to making participation in this project | 
|  | a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of level of | 
|  | experience, gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, | 
|  | disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, | 
|  | or nationality. | 
|  |  | 
|  | * Be respectful. Not all of us will agree all the time.  Disagreements, both | 
|  | social and technical, happen all the time and the QEMU community is no | 
|  | exception. When we disagree, we try to understand why.  It is important that | 
|  | we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively.  Members of the | 
|  | QEMU community should be respectful when dealing with other contributors as | 
|  | well as with people outside the QEMU community and with users of QEMU. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Harassment and other exclusionary behavior are not acceptable. A community | 
|  | where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is neither welcoming nor | 
|  | respectful.  Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include: | 
|  |  | 
|  | * The use of sexualized language or imagery | 
|  |  | 
|  | * Personal attacks | 
|  |  | 
|  | * Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments | 
|  |  | 
|  | * Public or private harassment | 
|  |  | 
|  | * Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic | 
|  | addresses, without explicit permission | 
|  |  | 
|  | 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 | 
|  | be excellent to each other. | 
|  |  | 
|  | This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the QEMU project. | 
|  | This includes IRC, the mailing lists, the issue tracker, community | 
|  | events, and any other forums created by the project team which the | 
|  | community uses for communication. This code of conduct also applies | 
|  | outside these spaces, when an individual acts as a representative or a | 
|  | member of the project or its community. | 
|  |  | 
|  | By adopting this code of conduct, project maintainers commit themselves | 
|  | to fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of | 
|  | managing this project.  If you believe someone is violating the code of | 
|  | conduct, please read the :ref:`conflict-resolution` document for | 
|  | information about how to proceed. |
