# FAQ {#coc-faq}
|
||||
|
||||
This FAQ attempts to address common questions and concerns around the RIOT
|
||||
community's future [Code of Conduct][CoC]. If you still have questions after
|
||||
reading it, please feel free to [contact us][CoC-question-mail].
|
||||
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
### Why have you adopted a Code of Conduct?
|
||||
|
||||
If you're familiar with the RIOT
|
||||
community, you'll probably notice that the Code basically matches what we
|
||||
already do. Think of this as documentation: we're taking implicit expectations
|
||||
about behavior and making them explicit.
|
||||
|
||||
We're doing this because the RIOT community is growing faster than any of us
|
||||
could have anticipated. This is on balance a very positive thing, but as we've
|
||||
grown past the point where it's possible to know the whole community we think
|
||||
it's very important to be clear about our values.
|
||||
|
||||
We know that the RIOT community is open, friendly, and welcoming. We want to
|
||||
make sure everyone else knows it too.
|
||||
|
||||
### What does it mean to "adopt" a Code of Conduct?
|
||||
|
||||
For the most part, we don't think it means large changes. We think that the text
|
||||
does a really good job describing the way the RIOT community already conducts
|
||||
itself. We expect that most people will simply continue to behave in the awesome
|
||||
way they have for years.
|
||||
|
||||
However, we do expect that people will abide by the spirit and words of the CoC
|
||||
when in "official" RIOT spaces. This code has been adopted by the RIOT community
|
||||
as a whole. That means that it'll apply in all community spaces.
|
||||
|
||||
In practice, this means the [RIOT forum](https://forum.riot-os.org), the Matrix chats (e.g., [`#riot-os`](https://matrix.to/#/#riot-os:matrix.org) or [`#riot-os-off-topic`](https://matrix.to/#/#riot-os-off-topic:matrix.org)), mailing lists (e.g., security@riot-os.org), bug tracking and code review tools, and
|
||||
"official" RIOT events such as Hack'n'ACKs or RIOT summits. In addition,
|
||||
violations of this code outside these spaces may affect a person's ability to
|
||||
participate within them.
|
||||
|
||||
### What happens if someone violates the Code of Conduct?
|
||||
|
||||
Our intent is that anyone in the community can stand up for this code, and
|
||||
direct people who're unaware to this document. If that doesn't work, or if you
|
||||
need more help, you can contact <conduct@riot-os.org>. For more details please see
|
||||
our [[Reporting Guidelines|CoC: Reporting Guidelines]].
|
||||
|
||||
### Why do we need a Code of Conduct? Everyone knows not to be a jerk.
|
||||
|
||||
Sadly, not everyone knows this.
|
||||
|
||||
However, even if everyone was kind, everyone was compassionate, and everyone was
|
||||
familiar with codes of conduct it would still be incumbent upon our community to
|
||||
publish our own. Maintaining a code of conduct forces us to consider and
|
||||
articulate what kind of community we want to be, and serves as a constant
|
||||
reminder to put our best foot forward. But most importantly, it serves as a
|
||||
signpost to people looking to join our community that we feel these values are
|
||||
important.
|
||||
|
||||
### This is censorship! I have the right to say whatever I want!
|
||||
|
||||
You do -- in *your* space. If you'd like to hang out in *our* spaces (as
|
||||
clarified above), we have some simple guidelines to follow. If you want to, for
|
||||
example, form a group where RIOT is discussed using language inappropriate for
|
||||
general channels then nobody's stopping you. We respect your right to establish
|
||||
whatever codes of conduct you want in the spaces that belong to you. Please
|
||||
honor this Code of Conduct in our spaces.
