Hi,

A while back, Murray asked the board to pronounce itself on the code of conduct.

We have had several debates on the issue, both on the mailing list and on conference calls, and Murray asked me to relay the conclusions to the membership.

The feeling of the board (a majority opinion, rather than unanimous) is that the code of conduct would be more hurt than helped by being pushed by us. Its adoption really needs to be bottom-up.

Thanks for being the messenger. I am deeply disappointed by this. I think it's a failure of leadership and a failure to stand up for our most basic common values. From an otherwise sensible board.

This was really the only way that this could be done. It will be logistically almost impossible for me to individually persuade every single mailing list, project maintainer, and sysadmin to endose this explicitly. But "GNOME rejects Code of Conduct" is such an awful signal that I'll try to do that anyway.

A bottom-up alternative is to compose a page

"Code guiding my behaviour when interacting with other GNOME members"

something along the lines of:

I wish to behave towards the rest of you ...

If fail to live up to this commitment or offend you in any way, please remind me of this commitment...

then sign it and encourage others to sign below. If you get a hundred of us or so to buy in, you have a "predominant Code of Conduct" and one that's clearly not imposed.

cheers, adrian
