docs: Add a QEMU Code of Conduct and Conflict Resolution Policy document
In an ideal world, we would all get along together very well, always be polite and never end up in huge conflicts. And even if there are conflicts, we would always handle each other fair and respectfully. Unfortunately, this is not an ideal world and sometimes people forget how to interact with each other in a professional and respectful way. Fortunately, this seldom happens in the QEMU community, but for such rare cases it is preferrable to have a basic code of conduct document available to show to people who are misbehaving. In case that does not help yet, we should also have a conflict resolution policy ready that can be applied in the worst case. The Code of Conduct document tries to be short and to the point while trying to remain friendly and welcoming; it is based on the Fedora Code of Conduct[1] with extra detail added based on the Contributor Covenant 1.3.0[2]. Other proposals included the Contributor Covenant 1.3.0 itself or the Django Code of Conduct[3] (which is also a derivative of Fedora's) but, in any case, there was agreement on keeping the conflict resolution policy separate from the CoC itself. An important point is whether to apply the code of conduct to violations that occur outside public spaces. The text herein restricts that to individuals acting as a representative or a member of the project or its community. This is intermediate between the Contributor Covenant (which only mentions representatives of the community, for example using an official project e-mail address or posting via an official social media account), and the Django Code of Conduct, which says that violations of this code outside these spaces "may" be considered but otherwise applies no limit. The conflict resolution policy is based on the Drupal Conflict Resolution Policy[4] and its derivative, the Mozilla Consequence Ladder[5].

=========== QEMU README =========== QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and virtualizer. QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7 board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board). QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation. QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings. It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API. It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager. QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License, version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file. Documentation ============= Documentation can be found hosted online at `<https://www.qemu.org/documentation/>`_. The documentation for the current development version that is available at `<https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/>`_ is generated from the ``docs/`` folder in the source tree, and is built by `Sphinx <https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/>_`. Building ======== QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are: .. code-block:: shell mkdir build cd build ../configure make Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website: * `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/Linux>`_ * `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/Mac>`_ * `<https://qemu.org/Hosts/W32>`_ Submitting patches ================== The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system. .. code-block:: shell git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu.git When submitting patches, one common approach is to use 'git format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the guidelines set out in the `style section <https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/devel/style.html>` of the Developers Guide. Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via the QEMU website * `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch>`_ * `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches>`_ The QEMU website is also maintained under source control. .. code-block:: shell git clone https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu-web.git * `<https://www.qemu.org/2017/02/04/the-new-qemu-website-is-up/>`_ A 'git-publish' utility was created to make above process less cumbersome, and is highly recommended for making regular contributions, or even just for sending consecutive patch series revisions. It also requires a working 'git send-email' setup, and by default doesn't automate everything, so you may want to go through the above steps manually for once. For installation instructions, please go to * `<https://github.com/stefanha/git-publish>`_ The workflow with 'git-publish' is: .. code-block:: shell $ git checkout master -b my-feature $ # work on new commits, add your 'Signed-off-by' lines to each $ git publish Your patch series will be sent and tagged as my-feature-v1 if you need to refer back to it in the future. Sending v2: .. code-block:: shell $ git checkout my-feature # same topic branch $ # making changes to the commits (using 'git rebase', for example) $ git publish Your patch series will be sent with 'v2' tag in the subject and the git tip will be tagged as my-feature-v2. Bug reporting ============= The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources should be reported via: * `<https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/>`_ If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be reported via launchpad. For additional information on bug reporting consult: * `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/ReportABug>`_ ChangeLog ========= For version history and release notes, please visit `<https://wiki.qemu.org/ChangeLog/>`_ or look at the git history for more detailed information. Contact ======= The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two main methods being email and IRC * `<mailto:qemu-devel@nongnu.org>`_ * `<https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel>`_ * #qemu on irc.oftc.net Information on additional methods of contacting the community can be found online via the QEMU website: * `<https://qemu.org/Contribute/StartHere>`_
