Code of conduct

The Qt Community Code of Conduct applies to everyone who takes part in the Qt Project. It covers any forum, mailing list, wiki, website, IRC channel, public meeting, or private correspondence in the context of the project and its services.

QUIP 12 is the Code of Conduct itself and is the authoritative text. It asks participants to be considerate, respectful, collaborative, pragmatic, and supportive of one another, and it explains what each of those means in practice.

If something goes wrong

QUIP 12 describes how the community handles problems. In short: offer personal support to anyone who is being attacked, and remind those involved of the Code of Conduct. Moderators of a mailing list, channel, or forum can suspend access for anyone who persistently breaks it, so raise the matter with them when it needs to go further. Where a disagreement is technical, ask the community for advice or request mediation rather than escalating it into a public dispute.

Read QUIP 12 in full for the complete guidance.
