* @infinisil:matrix.orginfinisil has maybe too much trust in people22:00:01
@joepie91:pixie.townjoepie91 🏳️‍🌈defaulting to taking feedback seriously helps a lot in preventing bad decisions, after all22:00:38
@7c6f434c:nitro.chat7c6f434c
In reply to @joepie91:pixie.town
7c6f434c: arguably that is why we have the "stop if you are told stop" rule :)
This rule does not help making any decisions though, let alone reasonable ones
22:00:49
@danielle:fairydust.spacedanielleI generally speaking trust that people are generally motivated to want to do things constructively and find common ground when they care.22:01:17
@joepie91:pixie.townjoepie91 🏳️‍🌈 7c6f434c: it does, in the sense that it leaves room for peer validation of ideas; it helps mitigate the common pattern of responding defensively and not taking feedback to heart 22:02:04
@danielle:fairydust.spacedanielleThat caring sometimes means they get heated, and when that happens it's better to have a process that accepts it with an "apologize and move on", over one that needs heavy moderation22:02:18
@zraexy:nixos.devDavid Mell (zraexy) joined the room.22:02:18
@joepie91:pixie.townjoepie91 🏳️‍🌈not on its own, of course, but in context of a broader "collaborate, not compete" framework (like our rules set out)22:02:29
@danielle:fairydust.spacedanielleand that tends to lead to better outcomes.22:02:30
@7c6f434c:nitro.chat7c6f434cBluntly speaking we need a governance process for tradeoff optimisation in the cases where we are stuck competing22:03:45
@7c6f434c:nitro.chat7c6f434cAnd I say it as the author of RFC 0046, which is one of the RFCs explicitly thinking in terms of conflicting interests22:04:18

Bluntly speaking we need a governance process for tradeoff optimisation in the cases where we are stuck competing
that is (hopefully) what the eventual Steering committee (or whatever it was called in the doc) is there for
22:04:21
@joepie91:pixie.townjoepie91 🏳️‍🌈 7c6f434c: have you seen the 'reconciliation and compromise' section in the de-escalation guide, btw? because it addresses this 22:04:32
@7c6f434c:nitro.chat7c6f434cThis is all about keeping things from blowing up, and valuable. But it is not, on its own, about making (at least) self-coherent decisions in a explicit-value-conflict situation.22:05:49
@7c6f434c:nitro.chat7c6f434cIt's how not to explode en route, but not how to make sure you arrive anywhere worth being.22:06:35
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefi think that itself is part of the next conversation, maybe?22:07:36
@7c6f434c:nitro.chat7c6f434cYes, sure22:07:50
@danielle:fairydust.spacedanielleA decision making framework would fall under the scope of a zulip discussion indeed22:07:52
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefand i'd encourage you to bring it up there22:07:55
@edef1c:matrix.orgedefbecause i do think it is important22:08:02

In reply to @danielle:fairydust.space
Can you [board hat on] review https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/pull/144 ?
Merged
22:08:04
@ronef:matrix.orgronefAlso took most feedback and posted the first update here -> https://discourse.nixos.org/t/board-update-1-starting-process-and-transparent-comms/4473522:08:33
@niko:conduit.rsnyanbinaryO22:10:08
@niko:conduit.rsnyanbinaryWhat about the suggestions for the coc?22:10:18
@danielle:fairydust.spacedanielle nyanbinary: we can open a PR for the last few refinements 22:10:45
@danielle:fairydust.spacedaniellenone of them change meaning or intent22:10:45
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusI'm logged in, if anyone has issues or concerns about Zulip, please reach out to me.22:12:07
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusI am caught up with the discussion and I see that folks had the Zulip folks answer them about the invitation limit.22:12:27
@infinisil:matrix.orginfinisilPerfect timing, let's get this Zulip party started!22:12:34
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius(note that Zulip folks are very easy to reach out to as long as TZ stuff works well)22:12:37
