Calling for systems thinking @coralineada.bsky.social points out the fact that to win a chess game you don’t zoom in on a subset. You zoom out and understand the whole system.

Do you work in open source community management? I'm curious about how the anti-"DEI" backlash in the US might be affecting the practice, especially around outreach efforts and code of conduct enforcement.

The team behind the new Contributor Covenant builder tool faced a challenge: how to make adoption easy, without making it thoughtless. So we slowed adoption to the speed of trust, with prompts for communities to customize their reporting & enforcement policies. More at www.contributor-covenant.org

To ensure that we were meeting the real-world needs of communities, we surveyed, interviewed, and shared working drafts with over 2 dozen open industry experts to learn about the challenges of code of conduct enforcement and where current tools were falling short. Thanks to those who participated!

The enforcement guidelines section has been reimagined as “Addressing and Repairing Harm,” reflecting an alignment with principles of restorative justice, including finding ways to safely reintegrate someone back into a community after an incident occurs.

Contributor Covenant 3.0 is designed to be more adaptable to different kinds of communities, both online and offline. It is written with clearer, less US-centric language, intended to be easier to understand and translate.

The book is really well-received so far, and I can't be happier with what I'm hearing from readers. Most recently, a young woman just entering tech told me that after reading it, she "didn't feel alone anymore". (Yes, I cried.)
