We find the contributions, collaborations, and mentorships within our community to be the essential lifeblood of our project and appreciate the efforts of those who participate to nurture and grow those, and all other aspects of our community. + +However, when a large and sufficiently diverse group of people work together, there are often cultural, communication, and compatibility issues. In order to minimize conflict, and provide a framework for resolution, we have a brief code of conduct that we ask all participants in the Dragon Linux community adhere to. These rules should apply to everyone, regardless of station within the community, and anyone can serve to remind, or ask the board to help resolve issues. + +No list is ever exhaustive, so we encourage members of the Dragon Linux community to adhere to the spirit, rather than the letter, of this code, as that is how it will be enforced. Places where this code may be particularly applicable are GitHub issues and pull requests, IRC, Matrix, mailing lists, Fediverse discussions broadly directed at or between members of the community, and other direct interactions within the community. Any violations, especially continued or flagrant offenses, may affect an individual’s (or organization’s) ability to participate within the Dragon Linux community. + +If you feel that someone is in violation of the code of conduct, whether in letter or in spirit, we request that you email as detailed a description as possible of the offense and offending party/parties to [the board](mailto:mattthetekie@venith.net). If you have questions, concerns, or any other inquiries please feel free to contact the board. + +A large fraction of Dragon Linux consists of contributions to upstream projects. All Dragon Linux contributors are expected to adhere to the respective upstream Codes of Conduct when interacting with such projects, or developing code intended for upstreaming. + +## Rules + +1. **Be friendly and patient.** We were all new or suffered from a lack of knowledge at one point in time. Please try to remember what it felt like to be on that end, and treat people accordingly. + +2. **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, age, size, family status, political belief, religion, and mental and physical ability. + +3. **Be helpful.** By helping others to learn our entire ecosystem is enriched. We encourage members of the Dragon Linux community to mentor each other and help to raise the general level of knowledge in the community whenever possible. + +4. **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions. Remember that we’re a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in someone else’s primary language. + +5. **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Dragon Linux community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with people outside the Dragon Linux community. + +6. **Be careful in the words that you choose.** We are a community of professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren’t acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to: + * Violent threats or language directed against another person. + * Discriminatory jokes and language. + * Posting sexually explicit or violent material. + * Posting (or threatening to post) other people’s personally identifying information (“doxing”), regardless of whether it is publicly available. + * Personal insults, especially those using racist, sexist, or otherwise discriminatory terms. + * Deliberately referring to others by names or pronouns counter to their identity. + * Unwelcome sexual attention. + * Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior. + * Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop. + +7. **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and Dragon Linux is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we’re different. The strength of Dragon Linux comes from its varied community, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes. + +## Consequences + +1. Except in flagrant or otherwise egregious cases, the first infraction will result in a verbal warning. Everyone slips up or acts out of frustration at times, we just ask that you work to not repeat the behavior. +2. A second infraction (or more flagrant first offense, as determined by the board) will have an anonymized summary of the interaction published as a way to educate the community and serve as a reminder that adverse behavior will not be tolerated. +3. A third infraction (or especially egregious first offense, as determined by the board) will result in temporary suspension from all avenues of Dragon Linux community participation for 4 weeks. This will include, but is not limited to, Discord, and GitHub issues/PRs. +4. Continued infractions will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, but could result in permanent suspension from the Dragon Linux community. + +This text is adapted from the [Ceph Code of Conduct](https://ceph.io/community/code-of-conduct/), which itself credits [Django Project](https://www.djangoproject.com/conduct/) for the original inspiration of this document and the [Ada Initiative](https://adainitiative.org/) for expanding the fight for equality and civility within FLOSS communities and beyond. diff --git a/content/community.md b/content/community.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..22aa9f9 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/community.md @@ -0,0 +1,25 @@ +--- +title: Community +date: "2025-01-08T20:00:00+09:00" +draft: false +--- + +# Community + +If you're interested in the project, you're welcome to drop by!

If you feel like you can contribute to anything, just say so! + +Here are some suggestions to get you started: + +* Documentation: Reverse engineering often results in ugly brain-dump text files full of information, but we don't always have the time to clean things up into a nice wiki page. Helping out here is a good opportunity to get familiar with the subject, and you can ask questions to help shape the documentation and ensure it is accurate. +* Verification: Notes and documentation may have mistakes or be hastily written! It is always useful to have a second set of eyes go over the information, then try things out on the operating system and see if it is correct. This is a good way to play around with the operating system and understand how things work, and help find problems along the way! +* Testing: Does the code actually work? We need you to find out if it's broken in some way :-) +* Completeness: There are often gaps in what we find out - what does this bit do? What happens if you do more than one thing at once? You can look at cases we haven't tested yet and help complete the documentation and code. + +## Already been here before? + +Feel free to jump right and help us out - there is lots of work to do. A brief introduction would be helpful so that we can get to know you better. Let us know what you are experienced with and we can point you at specific areas you can help with. diff --git a/content/copyright.md b/content/copyright.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..29571d3 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/copyright.md @@ -0,0 +1,52 @@ +--- +title: Copyright +date: "2021-01-05T20:00:00+09:00" +draft: false +--- + +# Copyright policy + +Dragon Linux is an open source project, and all contributions must follow the appropriate open source licenses. + +These contribution rules are particularly important for code that is to be upstreamed into other projects, to maintain a clean paper trail of the licensing. + +## Licensing + +Code developed for Dragon Linux itself should be licensed under a permissive license that allows other projects to take advantage of the code without running into license compatibility problems.

The Git "Author" field should reflect the primary author of a change - if you commit a change authored by another person, you should ensure they are listed as the author.

Ubuntu Linux 25 + Dragons = Dragon Linux
+ +Dragon Linux started out as a simple hobby project to bring Linux to the masses during an era of Linux not becoming mainstream. A time where software was NOT supported across the board like it is now. Now in the modern era of Linux development we came back to revive the project. We've worked hard in order to bring you a fully integrated distro, cooperating closely to get improvements and bug fixes to users as quickly as possible. + +With Ubuntu's excellent software and hardware support, you can expect a solid and high-quality experience without any unwanted surprises. Dragon Linux is based on Ubuntu Linux 25, the latest Ubuntu Linux release with the newest software versions across the board. We support most AMD and Intel CPU's. + +
+
+ +##
Dragon Linux ❤️ KDE Plasma
+ +We are proud to offer [KDE Plasma](https://kde.org/plasma-desktop/) as our flagship desktop environment. With leading edge Wayland support and a highly customizable experience plus wide support for many hardware features, KDE Plasma is a joy to use on systems. + +Want to use Night Color to keep your screen from disrupting your sleep cycle? No worries, it just works. Tweak your trackpad settings for a more comfortable experience? Everything's right there in System Settings. Are things on screen too big or too small? Just adjust the display scale to your heart's content, even in 5% increments. We've worked with the KDE project to bring you bug fixes and improvements to improve platform support, and we've also built a custom Calamares-based initial setup wizard so you can be up and running in no time with minimal fuss. + +Dragon Linux 6.1 comes with [KDE Plasma 6.3](https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/6/6.3.0/), with the latest patches and improvements to provide *the* premier desktop experience. + +
+
+ +##
Even Dragons can use it!
+Dragon Linux comes out of the box with all of the essentials like Firefox, LibreOffice, Educational Apps, Video Games, Freetube, Spotify, and a whole LOT more! Dragon Linux offers a seamless and carefree expierence. Dragon Linux also comes with offline apps such as locally hostable AI options, offline wiki's, and a whole ton more! + +
