Draft CoC
by Matthew Garrett 20 Jan '11

20 Jan '11

This is a slightly reworked version of the original Ubuntu Code of Conduct. The primary difference is the change from "you" to "we" - I think it makes more sense in Fedora to make it an inclusive set of guidelines rather than sounding like externally imposed rules. I also left out the sections that are more about project stewardship than interpersonal behaviour, and added a new paragraph on the importance of assuming good faith when faced with disagreement. I also added an introduction that's Fedora-specific. Thoughts? The Fedora community is made up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers, working on every aspect of the distribution from coding through to bug reporting. Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to communication issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to when they're using project resources. This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it's intended - a guide to make it easier to be excellent to each other. Be considerate. Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account when making decisions. Be respectful. People volunteer to work on Fedora. Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the Fedora community should be respectful when dealing with other contributors as well as with people outside the Fedora community and with users of Fedora. When we disagree, we try to understand why. Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and Fedora is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we're different. The strength of Fedora comes from its varied community, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. -- Matthew Garrett | mjg59(a)srcf.ucam.org

CWG Meeting tomorrow (Jan 11th)?
by Brian Pepple 11 Jan '11

11 Jan '11

Hi all, We have a Community Work Group meeting scheduled for tomorrow (Jan 11th) at 18:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting, but the only thing I had for an agenda was a discussion about proposed code of conduct that mjg59 hasn't had time to send out yet. Are there other agenda items folks want to discuss, or should we cancel tomorrow's meeting and reschedule for Jan. 18th? Later, /B -- Brian Pepple <bpepple(a)fedoraproject.org> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bpepple gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 810CC15E BD5E 6F9E 8688 E668 8F5B CBDE 326A E936 810C C15E

Hi all, We have a Community Work Group meeting planned for tomorrow (Jan 4th) at 18:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting. It's been awhile since our last meeting, and truthfully I'm not sure what our agenda is, so maybe we can spend the first part of the meeting getting caught up on where we left thing at and then go from there. Later, /B -- Brian Pepple <bpepple(a)fedoraproject.org> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Bpepple gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 810CC15E BD5E 6F9E 8688 E668 8F5B CBDE 326A E936 810C C15E
