Hi all, I'd like to start the ball rolling on instituting a code of conduct for the yt community. This will be added as a YTEP, linked from the "community" portion of the webpage, and added the the yt repository. Having a code of conduct is important because it the community norms we abide by very concrete. It also affirms our commitment to embracing diversity, openness, respect, and collegiality in our interactions. I think officially adopting a code of conduct also lowers the barrier to entry for new contributors who might be scared off based on preconceived notions about open source projects (e.g. the Linux kernel). I think a good place to start would be to use the Python Software Foundation's code of conduct and just replace "Python" with "The yt Project". I really like the PSF code of conduct and feel that it does a good job of describing how we conduct business already. I'm curious whether this is amenable to everyone. Are there other CoC documents that we should look at? Are there additional points we should add to or elide from the PSF CoC to make it more fitting for yt? Thanks for your input! -Nathan

Hi Nathan, Personally, I'm definitely amenable! I think we should start with the one recently adopted by the yt project: http://yt-project.org/community.html http://ytep.readthedocs.org/en/latest/YTEPs/YTEP-0023.html ;-) -Matt On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 1:27 PM, Nathan Goldbaum <nathan12343@gmail.com> wrote:

Oh shoot, I completely forgot about this. We should make a bigger deal about it in the repository. On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 1:28 PM, Matthew Turk <matthewturk@gmail.com> wrote:

Well, you were doing your thesis when it happened. I hope my response was suitably playful. :) I agree we should make a bigger deal of it. One thing that I would like to also suggest is having guidelines, even if not formally adopted, for workshops and so on. We've gotten really good feedback on that in the past, and it might be useful to have that for "ideas for running workshops." Even if no one uses them, having them out there and in front can be helpful for the overall atmosphere. On Fri, Nov 6, 2015 at 1:40 PM, Nathan Goldbaum <nathan12343@gmail.com> wrote:
