GlassFish Conduct Guidelines

First of all, we're glad you are interested in being a member of this development community. We hope you find this an educational and interesting collection of people, technologies, and products. We are a world-wide organization and, we represent a wide, and diverse set of backgrounds.

All members of the GlassFish community are required to adhere to the Java.net terms of use. These terms benefit the entire community and promote a fair and equal environment where ideas, architectures, and designs may be discussed across a diverse community of participants. Failure to follow these guidelines could result administrative action including, but not limited to, the following:

• Users can be removed from e-mail lists for actions such as
  • Posting of unsolicited advertising,
  • Posting of material with offensive content,
  • Sending material that excessively floods the list (i.e. auto-responders that are too responsive, see below),
  • Posting proprietary, or otherwise confidential information for which you are not authorized to distribute.
• Access permissions may be reduced or eliminated by actions such as
  • Contributors that damage the source, are consistently inadequately tested, etc. See below for more guidance.

Here some guidelines that may helpful

Most GlassFish lists require either java.net membership, or that your e-mail address is registered as a subscriber. You can subscribe directly to most lists by e-mailing a subscribe message to the mailing list manager. Instructions for this are available here. (These instructions also describe how you can manage your subscription options as well)

If you are a member of java.net, you can view your current subscription settings by browsing to the project lists page (e.g. http://java.net/projects/glassfish/lists). The buttons below each list indicate the action they will take if you click them. So, if you are subscribed to a list, the button will say: "Unsubscribe."

Anyone may send e-mail to: users AT glassfish DOT java DOT net, or quality-feedback AT glassfish DOT java DOT net.

Messages from unauthenticated senders is moderated and approved, if the content appears relevant. If your legitimate message is rejected, please try again and translate the subject for us. We get a lot of SPAM so please use enough english for the moderators to understand the message subject. It might take as long as 72 hours for moderated messages to be approved. Legitimate requests to join these lists are approved regularly so wherever possible, please consider subscribing and joining the community.

Auto-responders

If you are going to be away for an extended period of time, and your job requires an auto-response to each e-mail message sent to you, consider unsubscribing from community lists for the duration of your absence. Subscription changes are relatively easy via the lists (described above) page for each project. You can always review the message content via the web browser archive view. Further, you can send any message to your e-mail account, if you find it interesting, via the "Send message to <e-mail-address>" link on the view-message page. Alternatively, consider switching to Digest delivery during your vacation, if your responder answers each and every message. If you can control your auto-responder, once a week, for each sent-from e-mail would be ideal.
Code Submissions

See the contribution guidelines here. If you are a community contributor, you should consider having all your submissions reviewed by a buddy developer in the GlassFish community. You should always perform your unit tests, and you should include these test results whenever you perform an update. As described in the terms of use, you are responsible for your submissions.
