All,
First of all, congratulations to everyone involved in shipping Mars.
Another great Eclipse community simultaneous release!
I am very pleased to announce that the Eclipse Foundation Board of
Directors approved a
Community
Code of Conduct[1] at their meeting earlier this week at
EclipseCon France. This brings the Eclipse community in line with
the best practices for open source communities around the world.
Our community already has a strong culture of respect and
professionalism. Neither I nor the Board expect anyone's behaviour
to change as a result of this. This is simply codifying the high
expectations we already meet in terms of professionalism, respect,
and simply courtesy.
Best regards,
Mike Milinkovich
Executive Director
Eclipse Foundation

We are committed to making participation in the Eclipse community a
harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of level of
experience, gender, gender identity and _expression_, sexual
orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race,
ethnicity, age, religion or analogous grounds.
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include the use of
sexual language or imagery, derogatory comments or personal attacks,
trolling, public or private harassment, insults, or other
unprofessional conduct.

follow the Code of Conduct may be removed from the project.
This code of conduct applies within an Eclipse project spaces, or in
