| <section name="Code of Conduct Policy"> |
| <p> |
| We expect participants in discussions on the HBase project mailing lists, IRC |
| channels, and JIRA issues to abide by the Apache Software Foundation's |
| <a href="http://apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html">Code of Conduct</a>. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If you feel there has been a violation of this code, please point out your |
| concerns publicly in a friendly and matter of fact manner. Nonverbal |
| communication is prone to misinterpretation and misunderstanding. Everyone has |
| bad days and sometimes says things they regret later. Someone else's |
| communication style may clash with yours, but the difference can be amicably |
| resolved. After pointing out your concerns please be generous upon receiving an |
| apology. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Should there be repeated instances of code of conduct violations, or if there is |
| an obvious and severe violation, the HBase PMC may become involved. When this |
| happens the PMC will openly discuss the matter, most likely on the dev@hbase |
| mailing list, and will consider taking the following actions, in order, if there |
| is a continuing problem with an individual: |
| <ol> |
| <li>A friendly off-list warning;</li> |
| <li>A friendly public warning, if the communication at issue was on list, otherwise another off-list warning;</li> |
| <li>A three month suspension from the public mailing lists and possible operator action in the IRC channels.</li> |
| <li>A permanent ban from the public mailing lists, IRC channels, and project JIRA.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| For flagrant violations requiring a firm response the PMC may opt to skip early |
| steps. No action will be taken before public discussion leading to consensus or |
| a successful majority vote. |

| <section name="Diversity Statement"> |
| <p> |
| As a project and a community, we encourage you to participate in the HBase project |
| in whatever capacity suits you, whether it involves development, documentation, |
| answering questions on mailing lists, triaging issue and patch review, managing |
| releases, or any other way that you want to help. We appreciate your |
| contributions and the time you dedicate to the HBase project. We strive to |
| recognize the work of participants publicly. Please let us know if we can |
| improve in this area. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| We value diversity and strive to support participation by people with all |
| different backgrounds. Rich projects grow from groups with different points of |
| view and different backgrounds. We welcome your suggestions about how we can |
| welcome participation by people at all skill levels and with all aspects of the |
| project. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| If you can think of something we are doing that we shouldn't, or something that |
| we should do but aren't, please let us know. If you feel comfortable doing so, |
| use the public mailing lists. Otherwise, reach out to a PMC member or send an |
| email to <a href="mailto:private@hbase.apache.org">the private PMC mailing list</a>. |
