Yes, I agree. Diversity also refers to language. We have to start reason on
that as a richness and not as a barrier. I like to have this item in the
CoC.
Thanks.
Best.

Drafting a Diversity statement for the foundation (call for input)
Hi,
My experience within OSGeo was positive so far. At FOSS4G, sometimes people
forget, that half of the crowd speaks English only occasionally, which can
lead to misunderstandings.
Anyway: I would like to point out, that it is not only matter of writing,
but also talking (at foss4gs, sprints, ...) In public but also in private,
what can be even harder than writing (you can not take your time to figure
out the best way how to express, what you need).
And yes, having something like that in CoC would be nice.

Thanks all for the feedback.
So my question is:
1. Should our Code of Conduct/Diversity statement mention that we have a
multilingual community?
I believe it's still a good idea.
2. What should we recommend that all, and especially native speakers do to
make our community welcoming to non-native speakers?
I'd suggest, just a reminder that the level of written English can vary a
lot, ranging from cases where the lack of fluency is
evident, to cases where the sentence seems just too direct/rude, so
generally speaking, it's a good idea to try and be patient
and understanding.
Sometimes I wish there was a guide of typical expectations/orientations
varying culture by culture, to try
and understand better where people are coming from and put what they say in
context (this example
might be wrong or just a silly generalizations, but just to give you an
idea, I've heard
Japanese normally won't say no in a conversation, you have to figure it out,
and other cultures surely
have their "surprising" traits as well).
Cheers
Andrea
