From: gordon.king02+ruby-lang@... Date: 2016-01-23T20:40:56+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:73324] [Ruby trunk - Misc #12004] Code of Conduct Issue #12004 has been updated by Gordon King. Without getting into the politics of the case, I did think this quote from Gregory Allan Elliot was interesting, where he described being offline as a condition of his bail. > I���d like to tell the hundreds of millions on Twitter that I���ve been offline and in real life for three years and two months and it is so much healthier and nicer to be out with real people and being able to talk to them and get facial expressions and laughs and giggles and anger and everything firsthand, in real life. ---------------------------------------- Misc #12004: Code of Conduct https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/12004#change-56553 * Author: Coraline Ada Ehmke * Status: Assigned * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Yukihiro Matsumoto ---------------------------------------- I am the creator of the Contributor Covenant, a code of conduct for Open Source projects. At last count there are over 13,000 projects on Github that have adopted it. This past year saw adoption of Contributor Covenant by a lot of very large, very visible projects, including Rails, Github's Atom text editor, Angular JS, bundler, curl, diaspora, discourse, Eclipse, rspec, shoes, and rvm. The bundler team made code of conduct integration an option in the gem creation workflow, putting it on par with license selection. Many open source language communities have already adopted the code of conduct, including Elixir, Mono, the .NET foundation, F#, and Apple's Swift. RubyTogether also adopted a policy to only fund Ruby projects that had a solid code of conduct in place. Right now in the PHP community there is a healthy debate about adopting the Contributor Covenant. Since it came from and has been so widely adopted by the Ruby community at large, I think it's time that we consider adopting it for the core Ruby language as well. Our community prides itself on niceness. What a code of conduct does is define what we mean by nice. It states clearly that we value openness, courtesy, and compassion. That we care about and want contributions from people who may be different from us. That we pledge to respect all contributors regardless of their race, gender, sexual orientation, or other factors. And it makes it clear that we are prepared to follow through on these values with action when and if an incident arises. I'm asking that we join with the larger Ruby community in supporting the adoption of the Contributor Covenant for the Ruby language. I think that this will be an important step forward and will ensure the continued welcoming and supportive environment around Ruby. You can read the full text of the Contributor Covenant at http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/3/0/ and learn more at http://contributor-covenant.org/. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. ---Files-------------------------------- Screen Shot 2016-01-22 at 6.45.23 PM.png (595 KB) Ruby_Code_of_Conduct_Numbers.png (119 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
