Code of Conduct

MariaDB Foundation is about supplying the world with an easy to use, stable, and performant database, based on the values of Openness, Adoption, and Continuity.

MariaDB Foundation wants to foster a community that supports these goals. This implies the need for respectful treatment of fellow members of the MariaDB community. We welcome technical disagreement expressed respectfully and in good faith.

This Code of Conduct applies to everyone taking part in the MariaDB community — users, contributors, committers, maintainers, and stewards alike.

Hence, we expect everyone to be respectful and considerate, to be open to differing viewpoints, to avoid personal attacks and inflammatory language, and to protect the confidential information of others. We encourage helpfulness towards fellow MariaDB users, demonstrated by attempting to understand the issues other users are having and to solve them with insightful advice as well as with pointers to relevant documentation.

To report any issue in confidence, please contact conduct@mariadb.org. If a report is substantiated, the response may range from a request to change the behaviour, to a warning, to removal of access or of a project role, depending on the seriousness of the breach. Reports are handled by the Foundation in consultation with the Maintainer Council. Where a report concerns a member of the Council, that person takes no part in handling it.
