Treat one another and members of the community with respect. Everyone can make a valuable contribution to Joomla. We may not always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior or 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 the members of Joomla community to be respectful when dealing with other volunteers as well as with people from outside projects and initiatives and with users. Avoid becoming involved in flame wars, trolling, personal attacks, and repetitive arguments. Take the matters "outside" (off-list, etc) if it helps resolve the situation, and do not use communal methods of communication to be a vehicle for your private "wall of shame."
I still find it astonishing that we think we need more "documentation" before we can remove individuals. The issue is not that people behave badly, it's that no action is taken when people do behave badly. Why? We're scared that the backlash will be worse than the bad behaviour. Are none of us familiar with what it means to represent or even work for an organisation? As an employer, would you permit badly behaved staff to keep working for you? Why should it be any different with volunteers, they still represent the brand (Joomla) just the same if they were employees.
When is it time to stop treating this project like an social experiment, and instead expect and even demand that representatives of this project be seen as professionally behaved individuals.
What I'm proposing is something along these lines:
I, Brad Baker agree to follow the Code of Conduct here: http://www.joomla.org/about-joomla/the-project/code-of-conduct.html and will step down when asked to if it is brought to my attention that I have broken this agreement.
^ PS that wasn't a test, I'l stating my public agreement, on record. I challenge all in leadership to do the same.
