This is the part about all this CoC talk I never understand. Why<br>
on earth would someone change their regular behavior when<br>
"at a meetup or conference that has not implemented a CoC" ?<br>
<br>
This sounds to me like a very "Wild West" kind of interpretation of<br>
civil life that doesn't necessarily map to other societies - and<br>
even the days of "Wild West" are long over, aren't they ;-)<br>
<br>
To me, the main purpose of CoCs is not the text itself. It's<br>
getting organizers thinking about how they would react to possible<br>
issues upfront.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>How about this then: we make it policy that all core-involved "stuff' -- mailing lists, issue tracker, etc. -- are to be explicitly put under the PSF CoC? I think python-dev and <a href="http://bugs.python.org">bugs.python.org</a> are things we control which do not explicitly follow the PSF CoC (I have an email to python-dev-owner@ to get get python-dev updated but I have not heard back; <nudge> :). We could also, as policy, put all projects under the python organization on GitHub -- existing and future -- under the PSF CoC by adding an appropriate CONTRIBUTING file to the repositories.</div></div></div>
