FYI: Linus Torvalds just accepted a patch to the kernel, written apparently by around 60 kernel devs. It is extremely minimalist. That is something of a triumph.
The people involved have called it Code of Conflict :) It represents a barely good enough code, but on the other hand it's easy to get really detailed. A code should be good enough to allow sufficient objectivity when enforcing which is actually cultural. "Sufficient" is up to you Javier, I think. http://www.linux.com/news/featured-blogs/158-jim-zemlin/815318-on-the-linux-kernels-code-of-conflict and here is doc patch: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=b0bc65729070b9cbdbb53ff042984a3c545a0e34 On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 7:51 PM, Javier Candeira <[email protected]> wrote: > Today, reading Kathy Levinson's powerful piece on sexism and > whistleblowing [1], I've realised that MPUG doesn't have a Code of > Conduct. > > [1] > https://medium.com/@katylevinson/sexism-in-tech-don-t-ask-me-unless-you-re-ready-to-call-somebody-a-whistleblower-e5d545e547b0 > > Yeah, "we've never have had problems in the past" yada yada, but I've > never had to file a police report for assault either, that doesn't > mean laws on assault aren't needed.
