= Ubuntu Code of Conduct = === Linux Tour Honduras ===
Line 14: Line 64:
This Code of Conduct covers your behaviour as a member of the Ubuntu
Community, in any forum, mailing list, wiki, web site, IRC channel,
install-fest, public meeting or private correspondence. The Ubuntu
Community Council will arbitrate in any dispute over the conduct of a
member of the community.
Attending the [[http://www.normangarcia.info/blog/archives/162|San Pedro Sula]] and Tegucigalpa [[http://www.linuxtour.org/Linuxtour_Honduras|Linux Tour]], our first event outside of Nicaragua. San Pedro Sula was organized by the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HondurasTeam|Ubuntu Honduras Team]] and Tegucigalpa by the [[http://www.gultgu.org|GULTGU]]. My conference was about Free Software and Education.
Line 20: Line 66:
      '''Be considerate.''' Your work will be used by other people,
      and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision
      you take will affect users and colleagues, and we expect you to
      take those consequences into account when making decisions. For
      example, when we are in a feature freeze, please don't upload
      dramatically new versions of critical system software, as other
      people will be testing the frozen system and will not be
      expecting big changes.
Line 29: Line 67:
      '''Be respectful.''' The Ubuntu community and its members treat
      one another with respect. Everyone can make a valuable
      contribution to Ubuntu. We may not always agree, but
      disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour and poor
      manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then,
      but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal
      attack. It's important to remember that a community where people
      feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. We
      expect members of the Ubuntu community to be respectful when
      dealing with other contributors as well as with people outside
      the Ubuntu project and with users of Ubuntu.
== My plans for the future ==
Line 41: Line 69:
      '''Be collaborative.''' Ubuntu and Free Software are about
      collaboration and working together. Collaboration reduces
      redundancy of work done in the Free Software world, and improves
      the quality of the software produced. You should aim to
      collaborate with other Ubuntu maintainers, as well as with the
      upstream community that is interested in the work you do. Your
      work should be done transparently and patches from Ubuntu should
      be given back to the community when they are made, not just when
      the distribution releases. If you wish to work on new code for
      existing upstream projects, at least keep those projects
      informed of your ideas and progress. It may not be possible to
      get consensus from upstream or even from your colleagues about
      the correct implementation of an idea, so don't feel obliged to
      have that agreement before you begin, but at least keep the
      outside world informed of your work, and publish your work in a
      way that allows outsiders to test, discuss and contribute to
      your efforts.
 * Work with the Ubuntu Spanish Translator Team.
 * Work with the Ubuntu Training Community to develop courses for the users. :)
 * Work with the Central and Latin American LoCo Teams and help the smallest groups to grow.
 * Encourage the CC-Members of Ubuntu-ni LoCo Team to become Ubuntu members. This will make them (the cc-members) work more and help the Ubuntu community to continue growing :)
Line 59: Line 74:
      '''When you disagree,''' consult others. Disagreements, both
      political and technical, happen all the time and the Ubuntu
      community is no exception. The important goal is not to avoid
      disagreements or differing views but to resolve them
      constructively. You should turn to the community and to the
      community process to seek advice and to resolve
      disagreements. We have the Technical Board and the Community
      Council, both of which will help to decide the right course for
      Ubuntu. There are also several Project Teams and Team Leaders,
      who may be able to help you figure out which direction will be
      most acceptable. If you really want to go a different way, then
      we encourage you to make a derivative distribution or
      alternative set of packages available using the Ubuntu Package
      Management framework, so that the community can try out your
      changes and ideas for itself and contribute to the discussion.
== Cheers from the community ==
Line 75: Line 76:
      '''When you are unsure,''' ask for help. Nobody knows
      everything, and nobody is expected to be perfect in the Ubuntu
      community (except of course the SABDFL). Asking questions avoids
      many problems down the road, and so questions are
      encouraged. Those who are asked should be responsive and
      helpful. However, when asking a question, care must be taken to
      do so in an appropriate forum. Off-topic questions, such as
      requests for help on a development mailing list, detract from
      productive discussion.
 * Norman is a great leader and one of the key persons in the success of our community. He's the most active member of Ubuntu-ni, always proposing new and interesting projects and initiatives. His support to other teams in Nicaragua and in Central America is priceless. - Leandro Gómez, former Ubuntu-ni Team Leader ~ leogg at ubuntu dot com
Line 85: Line 78:
      '''Step down considerately.''' Developers on every project come
      and go and Ubuntu is no different. When you leave or disengage
      from the project, in whole or in part, we ask that you do so in
      a way that minimises disruption to the project. This means you
      should tell people you are leaving and take the proper steps to
      ensure that others can pick up where you leave off.
