Well, who was responsible for this exactly? Given the circumstances, they should do better than an amorphous "we".

- greenburger 6y agoThe letter was signed by the The NumFOCUS Code of Conduct Enforcement Committee. The members of that committee are listed on their code of conduct site. Seems pretty transparent to me. https://numfocus.org/code-of-conduct#persons-responsible https://numfocus.org/code-of-conduct#persons-responsible
- huhtenberg 6y agoThey caused a lot of grief to a particular person. It is only appropriate to sign their apology with their own names rather than a "committee", don't you think?
- fatbird 6y agoThis is an incredibly petty complaint.
- lr 6y agoThat was the committee at the time of writing. If anyone refers to this in, say, a year, they will have no idea who was responsible. As an analogy, transaction histories, if done in a DB, are not normalized because you wouldn't want the price and total sale of a past transaction to change when you later change the price of the items that were in that transaction. Sometimes, it's actually good to duplicate code/data/effort, especially if it helps to make something clear.
- part1of2 6y agoThere's overlap with the people on that Committee and the Board of Directors, so the transparency isn't exactly their intention
- criddell 6y agoSounds like The Code of Conduct Enforcement Team themselves need a code of conduct to operate against. I recommend immediately establishing a Code of Conduct Enforcement Team Code of Conduct. And since any CoC is meaningless when not enforced, there needs to be a Code of Conduct Enforcement Team Code of Conduct Enforcement Team.

- protomyth 6y agoWhy is the Communications & Marketing Manager on the CoC? That's one scary red flag.
- uberman 6y agoThe board should make those 4 people (3 staffers and the president) step down. If not, they should abandon any pretext about supporting a code of conduct while they use it to bully others.
