Dear all,

First of all, thank you for participating in this discussion.

It certainly shows we have lots to say. ;-)

At this point in time I would suggest we keep further argumentation for
discussion at the LGM itself. We could reserve a slot in the program for
this to happen.

Meanwhile, I am back to my question about adopting a CoC based on the PyCon
short version as edited by Greg, if we can get consensus on it.

Any suggestion on how we should make the decision will be appreciated. We
do not have very formal ways of deciding so it’s up to us to decide how we
want to handle that.

Clearly, from the standpoint of a co-organiser, we need to settle this. We
basically have two choices (correct me if I’m wrong):

1. No adoption of a CoC but discussion going on at LGM about this. Decision
of having one (or not) taken at LGM
2. Adoption of a CoC in the coming days through this list or by other means
we decide. Short version as mentionned above and discussion at LGM for
further enhancements.

What do we pick?

Would it be ok if we make the decision with the co-organisers of this
year’s LGM plus the people here who followed the discussion (in silent or
not)? Any other suggestion?

Thanks for taking the time of giving it a thought and tentatively get back
before Wed. Jan 22, 18:00 "Central Europe Time" (when to co-organisers have
an IRC meeting).

An online poll might help gather the answers? Can someone put it together?

Cheers!

Louis
