Dear Erik, Thank you for that information. It's important to learn from other communities, including where they went wrong so we can avoid their mistakes. I saw that the "less obvious" checklist your cited linked to this tweet of a poster at Django. https://twitter.com/rixxtr/status/715558514631041025 Was action taken against the creator of the poster on the left for breach of the Code of Conduct? What kind of action was taken?
A fundament is that the Django community and events have a Code of Conduct[2] with a strong process behind it, including things like tracking repeat offenders and (limited) sharing of information between conferences.
I agree that having a strong process behind any Code of Conduct is fundamental. I have a couple of questions about Django's process: If the CARE committee maintains a "blacklist" of "repeat offenders", is this public? Are people on the list informed that they're on it, why, and what it says about them? Do Django participants have any right to challenge, appeal, or even be heard on the subject of accusations against them? How does that process work? Or is the CARE committee's decision final?
