We should at least agree that all members of the community should feel safe to contribute to the project without fear of abuse from other members of the community. With that in mind the code of conduct needs to apply in all ways that members can interact whether they be publicly or privately online or face to face at events etc.
Absolutely.
Currently it is the boards role to resolve all such complaints / matters with the amount of detail being shared being up to the boards discretion. If you feel this is not the best way to deal with such issues then you can suggest amendments to https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Board_election_rules (which will likely be used as the basis for any foundations constitution) and all members can then choose to vote on whether to adopt such changes during an upcoming election or earlier at the election officials discretion.
Maybe we should be oriented towards the common separation of powers and establish a council dedicated specifically to handling cases of Code of Conduct violations and alike - kind of an Ethical Review Committee. This way there we could at least avoid potential conflicts of interests in the board or reduce speculations that a majority of the board might misuse their power to remove unpleasant board members as they see fit or forcing them off the board because they have the power. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
