We finalized the CoC a little while back to try and avoid issues like this, but here we are. It is honestly saddens me that this mentality is still present, but if we are here already lets discuss.
"Celebrating one day and not others is not very inclusive" Everyone is free to submit artwork of logos - and other pictures - for different holidays which the mods of the different channels can change if approved and found appropriate. This was never an issue, and was always possible However, last I checked for example Christianity wasn't facing much oppression in the world, and didn't require much (if any) support. With that said it would be cool to have a Geeko logo wearing a Santa hat during the Christmas holidays :)
But I digress. By having the rainbow logo up on Reddit and Telegram our intention is to show support for oppressed communities, individuals, and to promote inclusion within the community. We do welcome everyone no matter where you from, what is your religion, or what you identify as. There are guard rails in place to protect everyone from attacks. And yes the rainbow logo proved to be a great way of filtering out toxic individuals with a non-inclusive, disrespectful behavior early on, this is not a secret.
that is a "political" stance and should be completely outside any consideration for a linux distribution.
Ah yes, my politics is driving who I love. Trust me, there is no correlation in either direction. This conversation should have ceased but apparently the level of homophobia is higher than expected Any repeated violations are in clear view of the openSUSE Board who will take action against any party wishing to not comply with the CoC and especially because emails like this potentially harm the view of the project And, if you believe that this is ok and we should change the CoC to accommodate such "political stances", I recommend those who are members to voluntarily resign your membership of the project at the earliest opportunity. -- Callum Farmer gmbr3@opensuse.org openSUSE - gmbr3 A proud Gen Z who is also a proud Homosexual
