and >Nick: "A bit late to vote.". I will start a new thread on sage-devel with a clear title "VOTE: code of conduct", copy of the proposed code, and [ ] Yes/ [ ] No option, and a time limit. Any subscriber to sage-devel can vote during that period (at least two days long). I will delete any message in the thread that isn't a vote (further discussion can go in the present or other threads). Once the votes are counted, I will strongly support whatever received the majority of votes. Based on feedback, I think that we as a community will respect the results of this vote, and I think this is a fair approach. There were no Sage developers who told me they would quit working on Sage specifically because they don't agree with whatever the outcome of the vote is. My understanding is those (e.g., Simon King and Nathann Cohen) who are against a code of conduct said they would be annoyed, but would definitely *not* quit Sage if it passed. And those who are strongly for the code said they would likely take development discussions private, but also would not quit Sage development specifically because the code doesn't pass. Thus I think a clean majority vote of the community is something that everybody agrees to respect. -- William -- William Stein Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
