| ## Community Guidelines |
|
|
| ### Apache Iceberg Community Guidelines |
|
|
| The Apache Iceberg community is built on the principles described in the [Apache Way](https://www.apache.org/theapacheway/index.html) |
| and all who engage with the community are expected to be respectful, open, come with the best interests of the community in mind, |
| and abide by the Apache Foundation [Code of Conduct](https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html). |
|
|
| ### Participants with Corporate Interests |
|
|
| A wide range of corporate entities have interests that overlap in both features and frameworks related to Iceberg and while we |
| encourage engagement and contributions, the community is not a venue for marketing, solicitation, or recruitment. |
|
|
| Any vendor who wants to participate in the Apache Iceberg community Slack workspace should create a dedicated vendor channel |
| for their organization prefixed by `vendor-`. |
|
|
| This space can be used to discuss features and integration with Iceberg related to the vendor offering. This space should not |
| be used to promote competing vendor products/services or disparage other vendor offerings. Discussion should be focused on |
| questions asked by the community and not to expand/introduce/redirect users to alternate offerings. |
|
|
| ### Marketing / Solicitation / Recruiting |
|
|
| The Apache Iceberg community is a space for everyone to operate free of influence. The development lists, slack workspace, |
| and github should not be used to market products or services. Solicitation or overt promotion should not be performed in common |
| channels or through direct messages. |
|
|
| Recruitment of community members should not be conducted through direct messages or community channels, but opportunities |
| related to contributing to or using Iceberg can be posted to the `#jobs` channel. |
|
|
| For questions regarding any of the guidelines above, please contact a PMC member |
|
