The GNOME community has a lot of common sense, and this is one of the most exciting things I find in this project. What is less exciting is the feeling of needing to write down a Code of Conduct. Specially if there is not a clear need of it. At the very end what we want is that people behave respectfully in the GNOME sphere. Well, this is what all ethical, religious and legal systems try to do with the citizenship. Instead of writing a new code why don't we just encourage people to be good persons, participants, contributors...?

I'm not discussing the usefulness of the Ubuntu CoC, and I dind't discuss it in the Ubuntu community either. I'm only stating that the GNOME community has different SWAT, structure and history than the Ubuntu community, and the tools that are useful for one community might not be useful for the other. > I totally object to > the suggestions that a Code of Conduct is only needed in desperate times. Again you are simplifying my words. I'll try to explain better. Historically, CoC have been used in overwhelming situations or situations with a fear of falling into them at some point, as a tool for preventing crisis. They have been also elaborated by elites in control of an organization in order to guarantee their stability. You are right, I was missing more points. CoC have been also been assumed by simple imitation of other organizations (that adopted them for imitation as well, or for any of the previous reasons). They have also been adopted "just because". At the very end a CoC is a tool of control, and my main point is that we already have tools of control in GNOME. We don't need more, if anything we need to use better the current ones we have. > That's poppycock. So you mean that the existence of a http://live.gnome.org/CodeOfConduct would be useful to avoid answers like this? Instead, you could be constructive and provide examples of CoC created for reasons different than the ones I'm suggesting. (To me this is a small tiny proof that the only really operative CoC is that one assumed internally in our own personal values, attitude and behavior) -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org | http://guadec.org
