I'll start off with two things that have come to mind from this thread. 1. Buddhist ethics principles, primarily the concept of 'Right speech' (but much of the rest of the Buddhist principles are also useful): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_Eightfold_Path#Right_speech 2. Elsewhere in this thread it was noted that some long-standing developers were being oppressive to new developers, but didn't realize it. To counter that, I think that the original essay by Peggy McIntosh, "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack" would be a useful read: http://www.amptoons.com/blog/files/mcintosh.html -- Robin Hugh Johnson Gentoo Linux: Developer, Trustee & Infrastructure Lead E-Mail : robbat2@gentoo.org GnuPG FP : 11ACBA4F 4778E3F6 E4EDF38E B27B944E 34884E85
