Seeking feedback for the adoption of a Code of Conduct for glibc.

Seeking feedback for the adoption of a Code of Conduct for glibc.

[Carlos O'Donell]

It is critical that we support the growing and continued diversity of our
community by providing in writing the expectations that we have for our
conduct.

With both gcc [1] and binutils [2] having adopted a CoC I have created a
glibc Code of Conduct based on the one for gcc.

Over the course of the next month (November) I would like to get feedback
from the community about adopting a CoC.

I would like to hear from the other project stewards on this decision.

Drafts of all the documents are available on the glibc wiki:

"glibc Code of Conduct"
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/CoC/Conduct 

"glibc Code of Conduct Response Guide"
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/CoC/ResponseGuide

"glibc Code of Conduct Reporting Guide"
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/CoC/ReportingGuidelines

"glibc Code of Conduct Committee"
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/CoC/Committee

"glibc Code of Conduct FAQ"
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/CoC/FAQ

"glibc CoCC Transparency Reports"
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/CoC/TransparencyReports (empty boiler plate)

Thank you for all of your support and for reviewing these documents.

There are some references to a Steering Committee.  Is that a reference
to the project stewards?

Thanks,
Florian

Thank you! I found two references I missed and fixed them.

I had a really good question offline about the differences between
the codes of conduct so I updated the FAQ with that question.

Updated the FAQ:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/CoC/FAQ
~~~
= How is this different from the GCC Code of Conduct? =

The glibc Code of Conduct is a copy of the GCC Code of Conduct with 
references to the GCC Steering Committee replaced with the glibc
stewards and the mailing address changed.

Aside form the straight forward replacements the code of conduct
between glibc and gcc should be identical. 
~~~

Nick,

When you wrote the binutils CoC did you intend to make it match
the gcc CoC? Were there any substantive changes?

Yes.  My intention was that long term we could have a single Code of
Conduct that would cover as many of the GNU tools as possible.  Thus
simplifying things, making it easier for people who want to contribute
to multiple projects, and allowing for the possibility of a single
CoC committee covering multiple projects.

> Were there any substantive changes?

Apart from changing the email address and names of committee members,
no.  Well I did replace the word "rules" with "guidelines" when talking
about the behaviour expected by the CoC.  But that was it.

Cheers

I support adoption of the CoC.

Note: "within the context of the GCC project" should refer to glibc, not 
GCC.

At present I have volunteered as a Code of Conduct Committee member, but
I would be seeking additional volunteers to serve for a time-limited term
on the committee.

I would expect we would need 4 or more members from the community to
effectively run a code of conduct committee.

I started writing on onboarding and offboarding guide for CoCC members:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/CoC/OnBoarding
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/CoC/OffBoarding

I hope that this helps answer any questions about the CoC and the CoCC.
