Proposed RTEMS Community Code of Conduct

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hi Ralf,

you are right when you mention, that we cooperated quite well the last
15 or so years without a CCoC, although some past discussions went
definitively beyond both proper personal conduct and the now formulated
CCoC.

The CCoC itself will not ensure proper behaviour, but it may help in
certain discussions. Remember that our community has members from many
different cultures all over the world. People from these cultures may
have different looks at "proper behaviour", so the few points listed in
the CCoC may help. Just in case.

What I don't understand in your posting: On the one hand you mention,
that the topics of the proposed CCoC have never been an issue on the
RTEMS list and on the other hand you point out, that other CCoCs on
other lists may have made some users leave the list.

Do you think one of the porposed CCoC's topics would make people leave
this project?

I see no harm in the CCoC, and always appreciate clear words.

wkr,

Thomas.
