Let me confirm that all board members unanimously agree that the Code of Conduct applies uniformly across all openSUSE community spaces and platforms including mailing lists, forums, IRC and others.
Additionally we believe it applies to all individuals contributing to or representing the community, including any instances where a member is choosing to use an @opensuse.org email address, IRC Cloak or any other mention of a relationship to openSUSE in there communication.
Thank you. May I add that while in most communities such moderation or enforcement happens every once in a while, it is not usually the best use of everyone's energy and focus. Also it leaves a bad aftertaste just reading the subjects. Let us remind yourselves of our guiding principles [1] which predate the CoC by some 14 years [2] They are descriptive rather than prescriptive. In fact, I believe that in every place we post the CoC and ask if they have been violated, we should post the guiding principles just as prominently ask ask ourselves how whatever we are doing is standing in their way. If demonstrated constantly, we'll be getting so much exiting things done that such disturbances turn into the side-shows that they probably should be, with a community that is able to buffer, absorb, tolerate, self-correct, and not care much about the rest.
