never got such concerns in the PHP community.
Sorry - not true. I can name several issues from various PHP related
conferences. Although not directly under the "control" of the PHP
developers team (and hence not influenced by a proposed CoC), they're
certainly part of the community.
Same here. And in the core as well. Even relatively recently.
I would love to see more focus on how to make this out in a fork we can all
agree on instead of arguing about the rights of one or the other, all
parties will have the same rights. Or to argue about whether such bad event
can happen or not. It will too late to do it when it will happen again.
This alone is a good enough reason to do it, now.
About anonymity, it is also critical during the whole investigation and
afterwards. The reasons are rather obvious for both parties and have been
explained here.
A quick but well thought reaction is vital. In case of an harassment, the
group can take measure and "officially" request to stop any private contact
with the victim. Whether the accused person is guilty or not is not
relevant at this stage. It will help to protect both parties.
I am also convinced that we need one now more than ever before. Not
because we have more issues (or less) but because we are in a position now
to actually setup such CoC in a good way. And we are also the leading web
programming language. We must ensure that we act accordingly. I also trust
us to have the structure to manage such situations in a fair manner.
Cheers,
Pierre
Who would like to be connected with the Drupal people in this space, if
I can get their time? I figure Anthony and Stas are good to include
there (proposer and someone with well-reasoned concerned). One or two
more people?
