  Code of Conflict
  ----------------
  
  The Linux kernel development effort is a very personal process compared
  to "traditional" ways of developing software.  Your code and ideas
  behind it will be carefully reviewed, often resulting in critique and
  criticism.  The review will almost always require improvements to the
  code before it can be included in the kernel.  Know that this happens
  because everyone involved wants to see the best possible solution for
  the overall success of Linux.  This development process has been proven
  to create the most robust operating system kernel ever, and we do not
  want to do anything to cause the quality of submission and eventual
  result to ever decrease.
  
  If however, anyone feels personally abused, threatened, or otherwise
  uncomfortable due to this process, that is not acceptable.  If so,
  please contact the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board at
  <tab@lists.linux-foundation.org>, or the individual members, and they
  will work to resolve the issue to the best of their ability.  For more
  information on who is on the Technical Advisory Board and what their
  role is, please see:

  As a reviewer of code, please strive to keep things civil and focused on
  the technical issues involved.  We are all humans, and frustrations can
  be high on both sides of the process.  Try to keep in mind the immortal
  words of Bill and Ted, "Be excellent to each other."
