if anyone has proposals for how we make it abundantly clear that the rules of engagement for this venue are Very Specific and you actually have to read them, speak now I mean, the only thing I can think of is "get explicit agreement by e-mail before creating their account for them" but this does introduce an extra roundtrip | 17:39:01 |
 infinisil | The link will be valid once https://github.com/NixOS/foundation/pull/144 is merged :) Ron told me he's pinged the foundation channel, just waiting for upvotes | 17:39:26 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | it is not mentioned in the public foundation room fwiw | 17:40:01 |

I mean, the only thing I can think of is "get explicit agreement by e-mail before creating their account for them" but this does introduce an extra roundtrip i guess we can send a ~manual email alongside the invitation | 17:40:18 |
| edef | "READ THIS FIRST: Rules of Engagement" | 17:40:28 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | that is possible | 17:40:35 |
| edef | but feels prone to getting lost in people's email streams | 17:40:39 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | yeah that was my concern with that | 17:40:47 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | an explicit acknowledgment would be very helpful | 17:40:54 |
| edef | i'm too ADHD and i'm subscribed to too many email things | 17:41:10 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | I am inclined to say that it is maybe worth the extra roundtrip | 17:41:15 |
| edef | so i literally just fish the relevant thing out of my email when necessary | 17:41:22 |
| edef | does the API let us send out invites? | 17:41:33 |
| infinisil | Honestly I don't think that's feasible to keep track of | 17:41:33 |
| edef | i could cook up a clickthrough | 17:41:59 |
| infinisil | In the "training in zulip" I just added a markdown link to the topic | 17:42:07 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | if you mention the github username in the outgoing e-mail (subject) and use a shared e-mail account then that will show up as a list of "people you have contacted" and their replies will be associated with that | 17:42:20 |
| infinisil | We can add these documents to the topic of every channel | 17:42:21 |
| edef | manual email -> link to clickthrough -> API-driven invite | 17:42:43 |
| edef | that's my best remaining shot at getting it to actually be read before you are capable of interacting with chat | 17:43:10 |
| edef | like, we have two purposes here: a) not giving people the excuse that they were not aware b) not catching out people who genuinely managed to miss it | 17:43:39 |
| infinisil | I don't think we should be blocked on this, this might take like another day to figure, but we should open Zulip today | 17:43:57 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | I do not feel strongly about the exact mechanism but I do feel strongly about presenting these rules to people on an individual and deliberate basis in some way | 17:44:09 |
| infinisil | * I don't think we should be blocked on this, this might take like another day to figure out, but we should open Zulip today | 17:44:13 |
| edef | we're all intelligent people here but this is a stressful and rushed time, so folks will miss things | 17:44:15 |
| infinisil | Let's be diligent about linking people to these docs | 17:44:33 |
| joepie91 🏳️🌈 | simply because the cost of it not being read is high | 17:44:35 |
