What on earth is "gender" VS "gender identity" VS "gender expression" ? If english is not the language to be used, I would suggest we switch to Japanese. Using a language that the legitimate curator of Ruby understand instead would seem appropriate > This document provides community guidelines for a safe, respectful, productive, and collaborative place for people engaging with and contributing to to the Ruby community.

Ruby is a programming language. There is no specific reason to be taking extra care apart from what is normally taken. The consensus is given by the law. Any action you will take against the law will be punished by the law. > * Participants must agree that the use of sexual imagery, sexual language, and sexual > advances are not conducive to a professional environment and must be avoided. > Again, those points have nothing to do with Ruby, and the various. In Europe, breast in public at the beach are not considered sexual. Among the victorian society you represent, it is considered so. Now Ruby should have an opinion too ? On top of that given that the subtle and understandable distinction you make yourself of "gender" VS "gender expression" VS "gender other", byzantine discussion are guaranteed as to what is sexual and what is not. And honestly, your opinion on those subject are irrelevant to Ruby the language in the first place. Take them with you, and tell them to interested people, not to a technical community. Should you persist on perturbing this technical community with your political ideas, it will be perfectly warranted to take positive action unambiguously opposite of the ones you are promoting, in order to deincitize you to persist to impose your crazy ideas. > * Participants must not publish non-public contact information about other members of the community, including physical addresses or other private information. > * Participants who disrupt the collaborative space, or participate in a pattern of behaviour which could reasonably be considered harassment will not be tolerated. What about animal cruelty and pedophilia ? What makes those subjects unrelated to Ruby less worthy than the other subject unrelated to Ruby any less worthy ? > * Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately. > I ask you to stop your unacceptable behavior. Please comply immediately. > Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by sending an email to [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS]. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. Respondents are obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. > Please stop abusing this technical community by polluting it with your political ideas. Please stop considering you entitled to be able to judge anyone. Please be respectful of others, and the collective effort they have put in having such a wonderful language. Please be humble enough to not think they were waiting for you to start respecting other. > We believe that by thoughtfully abiding by these community guidelines, we help Ruby fulfill its promise to make people happy and to put the needs of the community first.

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) Ruby_Code_of_Conduct_Discussion.png (143 KB) -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
