10 "Professional" is more defined by its opposite, "unprofessional". Maybe
11 there is more consensus around that word. In a professional environment,
12 people make an effort to be polite, friendly, cooperative. There are
13 consequences for being disruptive, abusive, rude. Likewise, in Gentoo, we
14 should have the same. Maybe not as strict -- but a general understanding
15 that you are part of a community and expected to contribute positively to
16 the community -- not just positive technical work, but make a positive
17 contribution as a HUMAN BEING.
