There is a common misconception here that I feel the need to address. It was never the direct responsibility of the Developer Relations team to "police" the communication mediums nor was it assigned the responsibility to enforce the CoC. The "enforcement" of the CoC was orginally assigned to the Proctors Project. When that project ended, that responsibility was not specifically assigned to any other project. Users and developers should be aware that the Developer Relations team besides taking care of the HR side of Gentoo, including the recruitment and retirement of developers, is responsible for mediation between developers (only developers) and may take disciplinary actions when developers misbehave, usually by request of another developer or team. The responsibility of mediation between users and developers, as well as the review of abusive behaviour by users has been assigned to the User Relations team for quite a few years now. There was a mostly silent agreement between some teams, including DevRel, UserRel, Council and Trustees, that after the Proctors project was terminated, the enforcement of the CoC, including any moderation or banning actions, would fall to the UserRel team. >> What can we do to make Gentoo a friendlier community? >=20 > We need leadership.

Leadership can help by making people focus on goals, promoting shared views and make developers less likely to get entangled on flame wars. However, even though those with more prominent roles like project leaders and council members have an extra responsibility as their actions have greater exposure, it's critical that all members of the community realize that it's up to "each and every one of us" to set the tone. One of the goals of the CoC was to make it clear that every single one of us affects the tone of the community and that each of us can and should make an effort to promote a better tone that will ultimately lead to a "friendlier community". > Pawe=C5=82 >=20 - --=20 Regards, Jorge Vicetto (jmbsvicetto) - jmbsvicetto at gentoo dot org Gentoo- forums / Userrel / Devrel / KDE / Elections -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJMGWXAAAoJEC8ZTXQF1qEPoWAQAIy3Bw7yy6TPkwhYrvEmDsyA /Yg7f4x7yDo/oB3TBQxXYtYg2ydVrI3racml6h+7BWPu1v8Qz2nwYI3MsV31TW8H 6W6UGV+stcns55B96iw2EMU3xjmrD7yeuLhHcs7BRKDhjgGutJc4Qaz1rWTnVtkA SLaCVJqt3UB4ZHUNSceOsnb2ISxln4WUdYxHvWD1LHzFjElKSznLBdV6q1HKN6Ml +kdfz44XuCs0Wpqv0OZPenXCUHwkGRmHopc1hZNCooH7bBZ6zopXEWgTX0tzR0EB O4FQ6EjCPdJQONDaGbABA4hj/mZpR36qW2AX98FywFHxEn1ery+CDWqV3IxwhOGU btzZHBzEZjr7RWKAXlLPfvHm7L/hU1oZ4xcrtxmLuSIaqP7MLbtJiHfWVO3a0qsQ osKHm3xsocyftIRhVa+4LjnefRY+R8gvLpT4L4srOBkaEFFyz0DlEZUvOLSq/l4M TAWOristt3hFW5ZfGt6Dgxt1bpYoUAC+2qeSI65NHuUynhLmJ1CpFcuOwqG1Zqsd ZXmAbq+qfOyflLbXDb/wqFBaM9yW3n2rvrBH2KuN9+lz0S8lAVz/ciHKoOZl7tx5 n53WG40pBqfrtfLEg64cxniRRzz0J9SFQwEkfc01D4yUOfFE7gZNIHrCTnFrrJ10 NyOuMZBtdnlfw8DSXCgr =3DlXF0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
