Actually, I disagree that it "needs to be done". Once upon a time I |
| 6 |
helped plasmaroo craft parts of our etiquette guide, but at the time I |
| 7 |
assumed that it was a guide to help the clueless, not a rigid code that |
| 8 |
we would be putting in place (and under which one could be prosecuted). |
| 9 |
I think parts of the Ubuntu code are quite nice, but I still disagree |
| 10 |
that we _need_ it. |

Um, do we have permission from the authors? Some of the sentences seem |
| 16 |
to be word-for-word identical to the source. Incidentally, why drop the |
| 17 |
part about leaving the project in a considerate manner? |

A few points: The "be collaborative" stanza echoes our social policy, |
| 24 |
so it's not clear that it's needed here. In any event, if we plan to |
| 25 |
use this document to extend or otherwise clarify our social policy, then |
| 26 |
I tend to think that does deserve some discussion. As for the bit about |
| 27 |
"disruptive behaviors" being "a security and stability threat to |
| 28 |
Gentoo", I assume that's Solar's contribution? It very much sounds like |
| 29 |
his mindset that security should be pre-eminent. It's certainly a valid |
| 30 |
point of view, but I don't happen to agree with it. I don't think that |
| 31 |
security should trump all else. (Incidentally, I still fail to see |
| 32 |
exactly how a tree dev whose tree access has been revoked differs from a |
| 33 |
non-developer Gentoo user. Anybody, dev or not, can submit bugs and ask |
| 34 |
devs to commit on his or her behalf.) In any event, I thought we had |
| 35 |
devrel to handle suspending devs, unless there was some sort of clear |
| 36 |
urgency that required infra to do so? Wasn't that the outcome of the |
| 37 |
recent discussions? |
