> the given diversity statement certainly does not reflect any meaningful definition of the "sort of behavior [Debian] is actively seeking out". Sure it does. The project seeks behavior that welcomes others. You might even say that Debian is encouraging Ubuntu [0] from its contributors. :-) [0] which as a philosophy has been summarized as "humanity towards others", and as a linux distribution has a code of conduct that asks members to "Be respectful. The Ubuntu community and its members treat one another with respect. Everyone can make a valuable contribution to Ubuntu. We may not always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. We expect members of the Ubuntu community to be respectful when dealing with other contributors as well as with people outside the Ubuntu project and with users of Ubuntu." - http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/conduct http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/conduct
