Hm, this "applies ... when an individual is representing the project or its community", and that's the case when e.g. "using an official project e-mail address". By that measure, the document seems to only apply to fellows and employees of the Linux Foundation and noone else. Why is that? Were they the only ones misbehaving? ;-) Seriously though, I read this to know what I need to be aware of but oddly the language of this paragraph says it doesn't apply to me: I'm not using an official project e-mail address nor an official social media account, nor has anyone appointed me as representative. I can live with that, I'm just wondering what the benefit of a document is that only seems to apply to a tiny fraction of the community. Has this CoC been discussed anywhere? I'm not seeing it in the LKML or ksummit-discuss archive. Thanks, Lukas
