Hello, Today I have been informed that the CoC named the "Contributor convenant" has been added to the freedesktop.org wiki. https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/CodeOfConduct/
I am surprised to see such liberticide rules were applied and I was looking to see if there was any discussion about it. The only discussion that I have found in the mailing list is from 2014: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/create/2014-May/thread.html#4984 I don't say that the CoC by itself has bad intentions but the way it is often used are unethical and counter productive. Examples of that is described by EsR is the kafkatrap problem: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=2122 and the honey trap that was tried some time ago against Mr.Torvalds: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6907 For a more recent example their was also the Drupal community that persecuted one of their members because of personal private matters that wasn't interfering with the said community. https://www.garfieldtech.com/blog/tmi-outing They outed that person because of irrelevant data and their own politics/ideology. And they even transgressed their own CoC for that. I would like to discuss this subject because it is likely that multiple projects on freedesktop will be stirred for external ideologies and will bring upon themselves the same problems (if not worse) that was brought on many other projects or developers who acknowledged to impose a CoC that provides unjust power to those who seeks to use it. I wish you all a good day. Freely BERNARD
