This Code of Conduct repository is experimental in nature. Use with caution.
The creation of this repository came about after an incident with one of the online tech communities of which I am a co-moderator of. Generally, we'd just say "Be nice to each other". But some people need to be reminded what "nice" really means.
It was suggested that we finally have a Code of Conduct written up. But there is a problem with this. Quoting myself.
CoC is nice IF AND ONLY IF it cannot be misinterpreted to be advantageous to only a few. Right now creating one can be very tricky. I suppose we can put up a CoC on github, then PR for changes.
On further thought.
Sudden thought. I should experiment and see what happens to a universal CoC repo. See how everyone around the world contributes.
So here we go. This is an experiment based on the concept of Universal Ethics applied to a Code of Conduct.
This Code of Conduct targets tech communities and conferences.
Still looking for a Code of Conduct copy that can be used as base.
To follow after receiving a Code of Conduct base.
