Hello! |

Tone is currently not a strength of Gentoo. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
As I have heard there are people not joining Gentoo because the |
| 7 |
atmosphere in Gentoo is lacking respect and empathy. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
I have searched a few places for rules on tone, looking at the Gentoo |
| 10 |
Social Contract [1], the Code of Conduct [2] and the Philosophy of |
| 11 |
Gentoo [3]. In a way the Code of Conduct defines what good and bad |
| 12 |
behavior is. The term "Acceptable behaviour" may make sense as a |
| 13 |
counterpart to "Unacceptable behaviour" but feels like "what you can get |
| 14 |
away with" to me anyhow. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
What is surprising me: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- How come tone is so rough when we actually meant to be |
| 19 |
a friendly community? Has it always been that way? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
- With these Code of Conduct rules in place how come DevRel |
| 22 |
is not publicly reminding of these rules where necessary? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Could it be we expect perfection from each other instead seeking to |
| 25 |
understand and complement each other? What can we do to make Gentoo a |
| 26 |
friendlier community? |
| 27 |
|

Thanks for your interest, |
