Principle 0: Don't be a Jerk ;) #313
Comments
@jlprat @DuaneOBrien I think these are very important questions. How does this complement and distinguish itself from existing work. @DuaneOBrien do you recall if these principles were based on another template? |
Hi, I was asked to comment from working on the Principles of Authentic Participation.
A CoC and contributing guidelines usually deal with person-to-person interaction. Contributor to contributor, contributor to maintainer, maintainer to contributor, etc. The Principles approached it from the lens of a larger organization looking to clarify, codify, and cement its open source vision and mission, and how the organization seeks to shape their image in the open source ecosystem.
It is a type of governance document, similar to a project charter. The Principles were more an expression of values and vision, stemming from influence of the Free Software movement's similar origin in the 1980s and why we wanted to work on the Principles. Since a CoC or other community covenant is rooted in person-to-person interactions, it deals with more practical governance of the project. Something like the Principles focuses (in my mind) more on the high-level vision and how to cement the foundation of a community.
The Principles articulated an idealistic vision of how we believed organizations, enterprises, and companies should engage in the open source ecosystem, coming from our group's perspective in the Sustain Summit 2020. Something like the Principles could be adopted as a new commitment, but there should be a sense of how to measure or document adherence to the Principles in order to preserve the authenticity and genuineity of the Principles. |
@awright I am looking to close issues associated with this guide so we can publish it and tidy up the repo. Do you consider this issue concluded and OK to close? |
Closing due to age of issue and overall agreement in calls that the guide contains what it needs to. |
