I welcomed the adoption of an event code of conduct for GUADEC 2014, and I
would support extending similar rules for events organized by GNOME.
I don't think that all events necessarily need the same level of detail
though; as an example in events that are invite-only, like hackfests, it
might be overkill or not viable for the organizers to formalize a code of
conduct, or have a team to enforce it. I also like to think that in such
settings the social situation is less prone to incidents that require a
code of conduct to resolve, as participants likely know each other already
and are pre-selected.
I'm more ambivalent about extending a community-wide code of conduct beyond
the current one; mostly because it can be hard to determine the boundaries
of the community such code would try to protect and really hard to enforce
anything on some channels in practice. The current code also does not make
distinction between disrespect/harassment ("Be respectful and considerate",
even though the word "harassment" is not used) and etiquette best-practices
("Try to be concise"), and I don't think there should be any enforcement on
the latter parts. I would be interested in understanding what kind of
improvements and goals you have in mind for such a community code of
conduct.
Cheers,
Cosimo
