Re: [Diversity-talk] Diversity 2020 Article
Personally I don't think OSM having a CoC would reach to social media with the possible exception of a person writing as an official of OSM, such as a board member or working group. The goal of a CoC is to create a welcoming inclusive community within OSM. Social media can be a toxic environment that we as a community can't control. Yes, I'd like to see Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc. clean up their act, but we have little or no influence to do so. I live by one of Stephen Covey principles that we should focus on what we have influence over not on our circle of concern. What we do have is influence over is how inclusive and welcoming our community treats other. We may be concerned about what's on Twitter, Facebook, etc. but have no influence.

Re: [Diversity-talk] Diversity 2020 Article
Would a Code of Conduct also apply to social media that are not controlled by OSM/OSMF? E.g. Twitter is currently used by a certain part of the community to ridicule and criticize people writing on the mailing lists. regards m.

[Diversity-talk] Diversity 2020 Article
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/diversity-why-open-source-needs-to-work-on-it-in-2020/ is an interesting read. The article talks about open source, but I don't see any significant difference between an open data project or an open source software project. What I took away from the article is - We need to be more inclusive - Men (especially over 45) don't see diversity as an issue - Younger community members see things getting better - We need a clear and enforced Code of Conduct to create a welcoming community - Quotas are not the answer Just for the record, I'm a while male over (way over) 45.
