[diversity] [fedora-diversity] Issue #3 `Guidelines for reporting Code of Conduct violations`
by Justin W. Flory 11 Feb '17

11 Feb '17

jflory7 added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` **Discussed during the [2017 Diversity FAD](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Diversity_2017).** The end result of a lot of our discussion on this is that before we make decisions on this, we want to research and better understand how other communities handle these kinds of things so we can learn from what is successful in other communities or learn what to avoid. I'll break this comment into some general resources we noted and then our discussion points for how we wanted to approach this. ## Resources * Mozilla documents for Code of Conduct * [Community Participation Guidelines](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/partici… * [Workshop for creating a good CoC](https://mozillascience.github.io/working-open-workshop/code_of_conduct/) (resources, questions to think on) * [Apache CoC](http://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct.html) (includes links to CoCs for other FOSS organizations) * [Arch Linux Anti-Harrasement Policy](http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Polic… * [Fighting Harrasment with FOSS tools talk + video](https://www.bsdcan.org/2015/schedule/events/599.en.html) * Articles on CoC-related issues in FOSS: * [Why companies that rely on open-source projects must insist on a strong, enforceable code of conduct](https://gigaom.com/2014/10/25/why-companies-that-rely-on-open-sour… * [Some CoC examples](http://www.osfeels.com/conduct/) * [Jay Smooth: How To Tell Someone They Sound Racist ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNKMFduSnFw) (the video that @bex pulled up during the FAD) ## Pathlines for reporting CoC violations * **What policies other communities implement for their community members** * Are there things like a "get a grip" clause in other communities' policies? (example: individuals complaining about default rule in English that there is a masculine pronoun used) * **Ideas for communities to research:** * Mozilla ( @bee2502 ) * SUSE * Debian * Apache * Ubuntu / Canonical ( @jflory7 hoping to talk with @cprofitt ) * LibreOffice (The Document Foundation) ( @jonatoni ) * Arch Linux Women ( @jflory7 talking with @meskarune ) * freenode ( @jflory7 ) * Wikipedia ( @jonatoni ) * KDE ( @jonatoni ) * Python ( @bee2502 ) * GNOME ( @marinaz ? / @bee2502 ) * Systers/ Ada Initiative ( @bee2502 ) * **What actions other communities take with regards to people who cause issues** * Think about the issue and the problem – forget the person involved * What you did vs. what you are [video](https://youtu.be/CNKMFduSnFw) * Aligning it with the project objectives / goals and a code of conduct * The degree of action taken should mirror the degree of importance to the goals and objectives of the project * **What actions do other communities take to motivate / support the person who filed report** * Counseling / support network of other contributors? These are still a lot of raw notes, but this sums up where we left off on this discussion. `` To reply, visit the link below or just reply to this email https://pagure.io/fedora-diversity/issue/3

[diversity] [fedora-diversity] Issue #12 `Survey - Numbers are important`
by Justin W. Flory 11 Feb '17

jflory7 added a new comment to an issue you are following: `` **Discussed during [Diversity FAD](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_Diversity_2017) and [2017-02-07 meeting](https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/teams/diversity/diversity.2017-0… This comment is the "big one" to summarize and pull in everything we discussed in person in Brno. I'll revisit our objectives and goals we wanted to have for the questions as well as post a **non-final** list of the questions converted from the Etherpad. # Survey objectives The primary objectives we identified for the demographic survey were… 1. Gather baseline demographics about the contributor community * Why is this objective important? * Better allows us to focus on groups who are underrepresented and try to improve the user experience for new contributors in the community * Examples of target criteria: * Numbers for underrepresented groups (race / gender / sexuality / etc.) * Age of contributors * Gender * Race/Cultural background * Location * Disability * Family / kids / Motherhood ? * Non-English speaking community 2. Determine contributor knowledge about project components that ease contribution * Join SIG * Mentoring Programs * Onboarding programs * Classrooms? * Code of conduct / diversity team ### Other comments and thoughts Other questions, comments, and ideas from our raw notes… * @bee2502's musings - some questions * How were you introduced to Fedora? 1. By another Fedora contributor 2. At a Fedora event (e.g. FAD / workshop / meetup / release party) 3. Conference 4. Hackerspace 5. Red Hat 6. Web / online * What makes it difficult contributing to Fedora for you? We also wanted to identify how the data will be used and clearly communicate how the data will be used (ideally, this outline or information being available for participants in the survey to review). # Survey questions Below are the "mk. 1" version of the survey questions. Our last plan for these was to submit them to Fedora Legal for feedback, which I believe @bex and @marinaz were going to work on. These questions will also be updated in the [Survey wiki page](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Diversity/Survey). ### Fedora and free and open source software usage and contributions * **How long have you been a Fedora user?** * I have never used Fedora * Less than 1 year * 1 to 3 years * 3 to 6 years * 6 to 10 years * Over 10 years * Prefer not to say * **How long have you been a Fedora contributor?** * I have never contributed to Fedora * Less than 1 year * 1 to 3 years * 3 to 6 years * 6 to 10 years * Over 10 years * Prefer not to say * **Please select types of contributions that you make to Fedora:** * Community (community leadership, new contributor outreach and onboarding, diversity and inclusion work, marketing, event organization) * Technical (packaging, programming, infrastructure, operations, release engineering, testing / QA, language-specific SIGs) * Other non-technical (design, documentation, localization, translation) * Prefer not to say * Other (please specify) * **Do you contribute to Fedora as a volunteer or as an employee of a company?
