Code of Conflict----------------The Linux kernel development effort is a very personal process comparedto "traditional" ways of developing software. Your code and ideasbehind it will be carefully reviewed, often resulting in critique andcriticism. The review will almost always require improvements to thecode before it can be included in the kernel. Know that this happensbecause everyone involved wants to see the best possible solution forthe overall success of Linux. This development process has been provento create the most robust operating system kernel ever, and we do notwant to do anything to cause the quality of submission and eventualresult to ever decrease.If however, anyone feels personally abused, threatened, or otherwiseuncomfortable due to this process, that is not acceptable. If so,please contact the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board at<tab@lists.linux-foundation.org>, or the individual members, and theywill work to resolve the issue to the best of their ability. For moreinformation on who is on the Technical Advisory Board and what theirrole is, please see:
As a reviewer of code, please strive to keep things civil and focused onthe technical issues involved. We are all humans, and frustrations canbe high on both sides of the process. Try to keep in mind the immortalwords of Bill and Ted, "Be excellent to each other."
