Hi folks, Just a friendly reminder of the code of conduct that we agree to be bound by when we participate in this list, pasted below for convenience, but originally from here [0].
I'm seeing a shocking and disappointing amount of disrespect and vulgarity of late from several parties. If there is no active moderation possible, it would be nice to see us moderate ourselves into civility, lest this list degenerate into something that embarrasses the entire Debian project. David Code of conduct When using the Debian mailing lists, please follow the Debian Code of Conduct in addition to these rules: The mailing lists exist to foster the development and use of Debian. Non-constructive or off-topic messages, along with other abuses, are not welcome. Do not send spam; see the advertising policy below. Send all of your e-mails in English. Only use other languages on mailing lists where that is explicitly allowed (e.g. French on debian-user-french). Make sure that you are using the proper list. In particular, don't send user-related questions to developer-related mailing lists. Wrap your lines at 80 characters or less for ordinary discussion. Lines longer than 80 characters are acceptable for computer-generated output (e.g., ls -l). Do not send automated out-of-office or vacation messages. Do not send test messages to determine whether your mail client is working. Do not send subscription or unsubscription requests to the list address itself; use the respective -request address instead. Please don't send your messages in HTML; use plain text instead. Avoid sending large attachments. Do not quote messages that were sent to you by other people in private mail, unless agreed beforehand. When replying to messages on the mailing list, do not send a carbon copy (CC) to the original poster unless they explicitly request to be copied. If you want to complain to someone who sent you a carbon copy when you did not ask for it, do it privately. If you send messages to lists to which you are not subscribed, always note that fact in the body of your message. Do not use foul language; besides, some people receive the lists via packet radio, where swearing is illegal. Try not to flame; it is not polite. Use common sense all the time.
