Hi all -- On the OSGeo side of things, we put a bunch of work into creating a CoC (and related committee, private listserv, reporting structure, etc) a few years ago. The text of the CoC itself was based off of a variety of things from different online communities / tech groups / feminism groups / etc.
CoC is here:: http://www.osgeo.org/code_of_conduct/ ... if you'd like more fodder for discussion. Happy to talk about any of this more if that's helpful; feel free to reach out. cheers - -kristin/k.bott portland, oregon, USA On Thu, Mar 1, 2018 at 9:26 AM, Selene Yang <seleneya...@gmail.com> wrote: > After having a share of the results from the international gender > representation survey from Geochicas, we've come to a conclusion that at > least 7 out of 10 contributors believe in the need of implementing a CoC in > OSM in general, not only in specific lists. > > Sele. > > 2018-03-01 6:19 GMT-06:00 Ilya Zverev <i...@zverev.info>: > >> Hi, >> >> I'm a moderator on the Russian forum.
