There is a common misconception here that I feel the need to address. It |
14 |
was never the direct responsibility of the Developer Relations team to |
15 |
"police" the communication mediums nor was it assigned the |
16 |
responsibility to enforce the CoC. |
17 |
The "enforcement" of the CoC was orginally assigned to the Proctors |
18 |
Project. When that project ended, that responsibility was not |
19 |
specifically assigned to any other project. |
20 |
Users and developers should be aware that the Developer Relations team |
21 |
besides taking care of the HR side of Gentoo, including the recruitment |
22 |
and retirement of developers, is responsible for mediation between |
23 |
developers (only developers) and may take disciplinary actions when |
24 |
developers misbehave, usually by request of another developer or team. |
25 |
The responsibility of mediation between users and developers, as well as |
26 |
the review of abusive behaviour by users has been assigned to the User |
27 |
Relations team for quite a few years now. |
28 |
There was a mostly silent agreement between some teams, including |
29 |
DevRel, UserRel, Council and Trustees, that after the Proctors project |
30 |
was terminated, the enforcement of the CoC, including any moderation or |
31 |
banning actions, would fall to the UserRel team. |

|
42 |
Leadership can help by making people focus on goals, promoting shared |
43 |
views and make developers less likely to get entangled on flame wars. |
44 |
However, even though those with more prominent roles like project |
45 |
leaders and council members have an extra responsibility as their |
46 |
actions have greater exposure, it's critical that all members of the |
47 |
community realize that it's up to "each and every one of us" to set the |
48 |
tone. One of the goals of the CoC was to make it clear that every single |
49 |
one of us affects the tone of the community and that each of us can and |
50 |
should make an effort to promote a better tone that will ultimately lead |
51 |
to a "friendlier community". |
