  Minutes for Meeting of October 29th, 2009

More generally, we need to make sure that GNOME Foundation members
sign the GNOME Code of Conduct, and perhaps make it a requirement
for new members to sign. Also need to update the GNOME blog and
planet so that it is more clear that people should follow the
GNOME Code of Conduct.
 
 A couple of thoughts:
 
 First, the planet has always been under editorial control; it has a
 maintainer, like any other module -- actually a few of them.
 
 Therefore, what is or is not on the planet may fairly be seen to be
 under the purview of the maintainer(s), who are there due to their
 respected position in the field of their module, in this case in the
 public discourse of GNOME. So they can promote or censure certain
 kinds of speech as they see fit.

Yep. And it is expected by the current editors that blog posts that
appear on Planet GNOME respect the Code of Conduct :-) It's mentioned in
the guidelines for Planet GNOME in the wiki, but it's not mentioned in
the current footer.

 Secondly, binding or pseudo-binding resolutions on the Foundation
 membership should probably be ratified by the Foundation membership
 itself via some more formal process. As it is I don't think a majority
 have signed the CoC. (FWIW, I have.)

Nod. Actually, I think there was an action item about starting a
discussion here on this topic... I guess the mail is in the draft folder
somewhere, it should hopefully arrive soon ;-)

Cheers,

Vincent

   There is no official enforcement of these principles

 unless the CoC gets an official enforcement (and this paragraph is
 removed) any requirement on having members sign the CoC page is a
 pointless exercise.


What kind of enforcement would you like to see? A public shaming?
Temporarily suspension of Planet privileges? Would the membership committee
be a good place to do this?

I think we are all ready to make a change like this and can probably do so
without much argument.

(I'm just happy to see traffic on foundation-list.)
