+<p>The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and our many Apache projects welcome all
+participants who are willing to respect our community guidelines. There are
+many behavior or etiquette guides for online communities out there; we have a few
+Apache-specific tips below.</p>
+<h1 id="coc">Code of Conduct<a class="headerlink" href="#coc" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h1>
+<p>The ASF has adopted a <a href="http://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html">Code of Conduct</a> which covers interactions in
+all the online spaces that Apache projects use - email, issue trackers, wikis,
+websites, IRC, and the like. Apache projects are made up of volunteers, and
+we work to ensure that all productive contributions are welcomed. Every
+Apache PMC is expected to ensure their project's lists show
+proper behavior.</p>
+<h1 id="worldwide">Distributed, Archived, Worldwide Online Communities<a class="headerlink" href="#worldwide" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h1>
+<p>Apache projects are made up of communities of volunteers from around the
+world. When you are sending email to an Apache project mailing list, there may
+be software developers in this country, marketing managers in that country, and
+homemakers in another country reading your email. They will be reading your
+mail at all hours of the day, and both at work, at home, and on the go. If you
+want a response to your questions or suggestions, be sure to be polite and
+sensible when writing.</p>
+<p>There are many amazing people helping out on Apache project mailing
+lists - but they are all volunteers. Being respectful of the time and
+culture of others on the list is a key start to making productive contributions.</p>
+<h1 id="member">One Member's Participation Guidelines<a class="headerlink" href="#member" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h1>
+<p>The ASF is run by several hundred Members, who have deep and lasting experience
+in helping to build and run long-term successful open source projects here
+at Apache. This is just one member's take on how to approach
+communicating in an Apache project.</p>
+<p><strong>First a few general guidelines</strong></p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Assume that the other party agrees more than disagrees with you. We
+tend to leave out agreements and focus on differences. Sometime this is
+forgotten and escalation becomes absurd for no rational reason.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>When in doubt, assume that you are interpreting the message wrongly
+and kindly ask for verification that you understood a particular topic well.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>When writing, assume that every sentence will be misinterpreted.
+Review and try to reformulate to be as clear as possible.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Use a submissive tone in all writing. Instead of the strong "In my
+opinion, we must..." or the quite neutral "I think we should...", try to
+use "Maybe we should consider..." or "Another idea that we could..."</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>If you disagree strongly with an email sent, tag it Important, then
+put it aside. Read it half a day later again. Put it aside. Read it again
+next day, and then it is easier to write a balanced and inviting response,
+instead of the initial vitriol that flows through us when we get upset. I
+found that sometimes a response wouldn't be necessary, as the importance
+was actually much lower than originally perceived, and I would be able to
+work "with", instead of "against", a given change.</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p>Be forgiving and accept different priorities. The other person is not
+out to get you or attack your work. More often than not, it is one of the
+above (a-d) that are failing, or that the other person prioritize some
+aspect higher than you do. Sometimes, this requires compromises, sometimes
+not and the different priorities can co-exist.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p><strong>Most communities at Apache consists of level-headed, reasonable people</strong>, who
+have a strong vested interest in their Apache project. This interest, often
+passion, is both the source of tension, but it is also what unites the
+people within the community. It is easy to forget the vast amount of
+agreement that exists, and get upset over relatively small disagreements.
+Ability to put that aside, or downplay the importance, will ensure a
+harmonious project.</p>
+<p><strong>Face-to-Face</strong> is excellent way to eliminate disagreements, but that is often
+not practical. Consider Skype or Google Hangout, just for the social aspect
+of being part of this community. It should not be formal, and the
+invitation should go out to everyone, perhaps someone want to make a short
+presentation of what he/she is doing, to have some "structure", but that
+might not be needed either. Once we have a face to the words, and a general
+idea how that person is socially, we are much more capable to interact by
+email.</p>
+<p>Note that project <em>decisions</em> should always be made on mailing lists.<br />
+It's great to have a synchronous online chat to work through some questions, but
+be sure to bring the results of the chat - and any proposals for the
+project community to consider - back to the mailing list. People who
+weren't able to attend the chat or call might also have ideas on the topic.</p>
