Hello,
with commit a213d9d1 I introduced a Code of Conduct to the Kamailio repository
[1].
This topic was initially discussed during the Kamailio development workshop,
started from Daniel. During the development workshop we came to the conclusion
that this is a policy decision and needs broader discussion in the Kamailio
Management board and also the Kamailio Admin-Team.
This discussion started last Friday, and after several days of discussion we
decided to choose an existing Code of Conduct. We adapted the CoC of the
Debian Project [2] and did a few changes for readability and also to adapt it
to the (smaller) scope of our project.
This CoC is in my opinion a good, generic and pragmatic document. Many people
in our community are already in one way or the other involved in the Debian
project.
I am aware that this is (especially right now) a hot topic for some people. My
personal opinion is that we managed to get a great fit to the existing
Kamailio community culture. The history of this project shows that we are an
open project and welcome contributions from anybody. So I don't expect any
impact because of this change.
We also ensured that the CoC only applies inside the Kamailio project, and
that the Kamailio Management board is the authoritative instance in any
conflicts about this topic.
I don't want to start a classical "bike-shedding" discussion on this list
about this topic.. But if you have any questions about this, lets us know. You
can also contact the Kamailio Management Board, if you want to keep it
private.
Best regards,
Henning Westerholt
