Posting guidelines#

Someone suggested the rule "If you wouldnt say it to your Mom, don't post it here." However, unless you've got a mom like Dilbert's (who can tell the difference between packet-routing networks and circuit-switching networks) some guidelines less maternally-based seens appropriate:

For everyone:

  • All postings must be civil.
  • Off-topic posts must be humorous and not dominate the group.

For QNX employees:

  • Don't mention any topic covered by a customer's NDA with QNX.
  • Don't talk about you-know-what until you-you-know-when.
