Hi again. |
| 2 |
Thank you all for your input so far, which I will evaluate together with |
| 3 |
my trusted mentourage, er, the council. I'd just like to clarify a |
| 4 |
couple of things that seem to have left a few of you confused: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
1. The Proctors is not a Userrel Sub project. The Code of Conduct would |
| 7 |
apply to everyone choosing to participate in the community, developers |
| 8 |
and users alike. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
2. The Proctors is not a new name for Devrel. They would fall under |
| 11 |
Devrel territory, but as a newly formed group under the leadership and |
| 12 |
supervision of the Council. A decision as to numbers and electing |
| 13 |
proctors has not yet been reached -- we are working out these details as |
| 14 |
we speak. (My suggestion here is to select a group of people from a wide |
| 15 |
variety of backgrounds within Gentoo, taking care to avoid 'old boys |
| 16 |
clubs' and cliques) |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
3. The proctors would be given the access required to execute any |
| 19 |
suspensions or similar actions. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
4. By Gentoo fora/Official Communication Channels we refer to all |
| 22 |
official channels of communication; MLs, IRC, Forums, IM, Bugzilla etc. |
| 23 |
(This does NOT mean we are replacing guidelines for sub-fora -- the CoC |
| 24 |
would be in addition to IRC and Forum guidelines). |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
5. The CoC would replace the current etiquette policy in the devrel |
| 27 |
handbook. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
6. We intentionally choose to leave the CoC somewhat vague in places, |
| 30 |
simply as we'd never finish were we to list every hypoethetical offense |
| 31 |
someone could make. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
7. It is up to the proctors and the Council to decide on how to best |
| 34 |
deal with appeals and suchlike. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
8. I am not a proctor, nor am I guaranteed a seat as a proctor should |
| 37 |
this proposal be voted in by the Council. Nor am I infallible, and your |
| 38 |
continued feedback is important to us and the development of Gentoo's |
| 39 |
future Code of Conduct. I also understand that the timeframe for |
| 40 |
peer-review is shorter than what you have all expected (and wished for), |
| 41 |
and I fully understand the annoyance in regards to this. It's shorter |
| 42 |
than what we had originally aimed for. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Kind Regards, |
| 45 |
Christel (who would have asked the foundation for funding to hire |
| 46 |
leather clad kung-fu fighter babes and called them Christel's Angels |
| 47 |
were it all up to her) |
