Linux Code of Conduct

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Mature FOSS projects adopt written codes of conduct with defined scope, a published issue‑resolution process, named contacts for reports and frictionless reporting channels (link in README or conference registration), and templates like Contributor Covenant or Geek Feminism. Claim: clearer rules reduce legal risk, improve inclusion, and scale collaboration; evidence cited: VC data (10% more female partners → ~1.5% higher fund returns and 9.7% more profitable exits) and adoption by projects including Linux kernel.
