Draft code of conduct for R project #34

Open hturner opened 1 year ago

hturner commented 1 year ago

The possibility of a having code of conduct (CoC) for the R project was discussed at our kick-off meeting. The issue came up again when we applied to Outreachy as they expect participating projects to have a code of conduct. There was some discussion among the R Foundation after this and it seemed that people were open to having a code of conduct to cover R project spaces, e.g. the mailing lists, Bugzilla. This would also be useful to cover R Contribution Working Group events not covered by an existing CoC (e.g. the useR! conference CoC).

This would require some work to consider the CoC used by other projects and how it might work for the R project, including how it can be implemented in practice. It would be good to know if anyone is interested to help with drafting a proposal for the R Foundation/R Core to consider.

I am currently at the code of conduct committee of Bioconductor. There is some information about what and how it operates. See the website for more information: https://bioconductor.github.io/bioc_coc_multilingual/ I could help anyone wanting to take the lead. There is also the rOpenSci code of conduct: https://ropensci.org/code-of-conduct/

The issue of a code of conduct for the R project is still a long-term goal, but we require a code of conduct for events such as further Collaboration Campfires/Office Hours that are not covered by a partner's CoC. This should be quick to turn around as the scope is much smaller, so we will start on this.

This is a duplicate of https://github.com/r-devel/rcontribution/issues/30 (also opened by me!) where there is some helpful discussion and links. I will close that one now we have the link here for reference.
