Put in place a Code of Conduct #25

Closed BrunoGrandePhD closed 8 years ago

BrunoGrandePhD commented 8 years ago

We should put in place a code of conduct for our event. If you're wondering why, you should read this blog post by Ashe Dryden. That blog post links to a few Code of Conducts that we can use. Someone also posted another one in the Etherpad for our meeting on 2016-04-22. This isn't urgent, but I wanted to bring it up while I'm thinking about it.

+1 to adding a code of conduct @brunogrande! We could borrow this one from Software Carpentry or this one from the Mozilla Science lab.

@brunogrande @ttimbers Which one do you think we could use? Could we just add the link to our website or do we want to work more on it? @ababaian

ababaian commented 8 years ago

I'll start compiling a 'participant resources' let me know which thing you guys want.

ttimbers commented 8 years ago

I'm good with either code of conduct, but maybe let's go with the Mozilla Science one? I think the Software Carpentry one was written with the focus of a workshop setting, while I think the Mozilla one might be more general about collaborative work and coding?

ttimbers commented 8 years ago

Actually, under closer inspection they're both very similar, so either would work. I have no preference.

BrunoGrandePhD commented 8 years ago

Indeed, the SWC and Mozilla CoCs are very similar. If you need a tie-breaker, I would go with SWC's CoC because it attributes where it obtained the text (at the bottom).

@ttimbers @adrisua: Are we going with the Software Carpentry code of conduct? I want to include a question in the confirmation of attendance form (see hackseq/October_2016_private#23) that makes participants acknowledge the code of conduct.

@ababaian: If there is no debate this morning, could you add the code of conduct to the website this afternoon? Thanks!

BrunoGrandePhD commented 8 years ago

@ababaian: Preferably, include the entire text on our website, including the attributions at the bottom and cite where it came from. This way, it looks more official. It also allows us to update the email in the text to our hackseq Gmail account.

if it's all the same I think the Mozilla one is more clear. I've started the participants page at www.hackseq.com/participant-resources and code of conduct is online at www.hackseq.com/conduct
