I was talking about a hypothetical improvement to the community code of conduct, not to the conference code of conduct. For a conference code of conduct, it makes sense to require explicit assent, not least of which because when people have spent money getting to and attending an event, and they then do something sufficiently severe to warrant being excluded from that event, explicit assent helps protect the conference from further trouble that they might try to stir up as a result. That doesn't apply as much to free online communication and community resources. - Josh Triplett _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
