In the period of April 1st, 2026 through September 30th, 2026, the Code
of Conduct Committee received the following reports:

Reports received: 3

Code of Conduct scope and enforcement related reports: 3

-- Publicly coached and educated an individual who wasn't part of
the kernel community about the CoC, advising them to follow
the code of conduct when they interact with the community. The
issue was resolved without considering other enforcement options.

-- A public report to the CoC about technical discussion was resolved
on the mailing list without any response or action by the CoC.

-- A dispute about copying code had been resolved by the maintainer
asking the developers to resolve the issue between them before their
patches get reviewed and accepted.

We would like to thank the Linux kernel community members who have
supported the adoption of the Code of Conduct and who continue to
uphold the professional standards of our community. If you have
questions about this report, please write to <conduct@xxxxxxxxxx>.
