Dear coreboot community members,
Recently there was some unpleasant activity on Gerrit which violated
our community’s guidelines regarding respectful conduct. In this case the
coreboot leadership team determined that the behavior in question fit a long
pattern about which the individual had been previously warned. As a result we
have decided to remove Nico from our community for a period of 1 year. We hope
this will be a sufficient cooling off period and that we will not need to take
more drastic steps in the future.
As we've said in the past, we trust that developers in our community
are acting in good faith and can generally resolve issues on their own. In
cases where two sides cannot reach an agreement, for example in a code review,
we expect all engagement to be respectful and to help drive toward a solution.
For technical matters this often means starting a mailing list discussion,
bringing an issue up during the coreboot leadership meeting, starting a task
force to tackle a large problem, or other means of gathering input and
collaborating.
Personal matters should be brought to the leadership team directly.
We'll listen to any complaints or frustrations, but cannot tolerate personal
attacks made on Gerrit, the mailing list, or other forums. It is always
required that we treat others in a professional manner and communicate with
respect, regardless of how strongly we may feel about a particular issue.
If anybody feels that a discussion has become too heated, or that
somebody is not being treated respectfully, or are simply unsure of how to
proceed in a difficult situation, please reach out to the coreboot leadership
and we will chart a path forward together.
