Cameron, Board, all,
I will try to be at the meeting in ~2.5 hours (pending internet
stability where I am now, but seems to be fine).
Some comments that I will mention in meeting:
- as I've said before, I'm for keeping this simple and geared for our
own community (not copied from other communities). Another example of a
simple statement written for our community? I hope you've all seen the
FOSS4G-Europe "Code of Conduct" :
http://europe.foss4g.org/2015/Be%20FOSS4G%20!
Brilliant really, concise, and written for our community. This just
really sums up what our community is about (not a long page of big
words): F-Free O-Open S-Safe S-Smart 4-Fun G-Gentle
- if we choose to go down the full "Code of Conduct" path, some have
contacted me asking how we will track, yes track, offenders. (you can
see why I steered clear of a full "code" and would rather have a simple
diversity statement) But yes, there is no mention of tracking
offenders, in your "code of conduct". (who tracks? where are names
stored? ...opens quite a can of issues)
See you soon at the meeting online.
Yours,
-jeff
