 joepie91 🏳️🌈 | so the best we can do under those circumstances is to communicate as clearly as possible, explain where needed, correct misunderstandings where they come up | 21:40:17 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | and even then some subset of people will simply not believe it because of various perception biases, even without any malicious intentions | 21:40:55 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | (such as the one where people tend to believe the version of the story that they hear first, no matter its accuracy) | 21:41:15 |
 7c6f434c | Just in case: my PR 15 against CoC has an implication that up-front communication was not clear enough, which I endorse. (Not saying it is someone's fault, nobody had time to polish things to perfection and guess all the things, etc.) | 21:42:37 |
 samrose | The language gives people a way to resolve disputes | 21:42:38 |
 infinisil | I think the board should just make a decision on https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/pull/144 now | 21:43:41 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | yeah, this risks becoming an arguing magnet rather than substantive review, tbh | 21:44:05 |
 danielle | ronef: you around? | 21:44:20 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | with people trying to frontload the governance process but without any of the safety and moderation mechanisms we've carefully designed | 21:44:25 |
 shlevy | In my view a quick decision without time for serious comments to be made and addressed will be perceived as an illegitimate power play. Depends on how much you’re concerned with the opinions of those who are not convinced about this style of moderation. | 21:44:49 |
 edef | we do have 12 days to go | 21:45:39 |
| edef | which is not a lot of time | 21:45:52 |
| danielle | 11, in 15 minutes | 21:45:53 |
| shlevy | That timeline was also imposed. | 21:45:55 |
| edef | it is, but there is a legitimacy factor at play there too | 21:46:13 |
| infinisil | At some point you just need to make some decisions to move on 😅 | 21:46:40 |

That timeline was also imposed. tbf the original suggestion from the board there was 10 days, I said give it 14 instead. | 21:46:42 |
| edef | we can't say "we will have an answer in three months", and honestly 14 days is on the long side in some ways | 21:46:46 |
| shlevy | Anyway, I’m fine personally with this CoC, though I’d prefer squalus’s suggestion of starting with the Zulip terms and iterating from there if problems arise, I’m just pointing out that there is a cost to a rapid merge here. | 21:47:26 |
| danielle | fwiw i based that doc on a mix of Drupal, Mozilla, and the CNCF, which are all fairly large incredibly diverse organizations with a lot of experience. | 21:48:02 |
| danielle | (like kubernetes projects alone have had 15000 contributors) | 21:48:20 |

Depends on how much you’re concerned with the opinions of those who are not convinced about this style of moderation. the thing is that the venue for "serious comments" is meant to be the zulip, not a procedural PR thread - and I feel that it doesn't really matter what we do, it's going to be perceived as a power play either way, based on experiences so far | 21:48:27 |

| samrose | Is this a one and done thing, will there likely be an ongoing way for the community to feed back and evolve the initial outcome? | 21:49:54 |

ronef: you around? here, whatsup? | 21:49:56 |
| shlevy | I agree some people will perceive it that way regardless. The question is how much work/delay you’re willing to put in to convince people on the margins. I don’t even think it’s necessarily wrong to just jump in now, but it’s not a binary choice between interminable delay vs immediate moving forward | 21:50:08 |
| danielle | In reply to @ronef:matrix.org
here, whatsup? Can you [board hat on] review https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/pull/144 ? | 21:50:25 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | shlevy: if I'm measuring by the comments landing in the github thread and the discourse thread, I don't think there's any mileage we're going to get out of this that is not better achieved by having this conversation on zulip | 21:50:48 |
