The initial intention to create a Code of Conduct was announced in the " freebsd-announce" mailing list (1) but no further discussion seems to have taken place anywhere. There is a "conduct" mailing list (2) which sound like it was created for a discussion of this sort, but as of today (08/03/2018) it seems to be empty. Like many, my main point of contention is that this was decided behind closed doors and there was no public discussion on the matter. What was the rationale for choosing Geek Feminism Wiki as guide on how to implement a code of conduct and not for example, the KDE Code of Conduct (3) or the Contributor Covenant (4) ?. The last one seems closer in spirit to what is trying to be achieved here, without inflamatory and/or politically charged language. Maybe there are non-arbitrary reasons behind the creation of this new CoC, but since it was discussed in private, we have no way to know.
