I think it will be clearer and more powerful if we have one code of conduct. We are the same people when we interact online versus meatspace, and I think one URL can handle them both. I propose that we merge http://drupal.org/dcoc and http://groups.drupal.org/node/235308.

I did find it odd that a whole new doc was built. However, after the pain involved in the latest (Drupalcon) effort, I wonder if this proposal is too soon.

I don't think the Drupalcon policy is active yet. IMO this is the perfect time to merge. I see your point, but it ain't gonna get easier later.

It's important to keep in mind that the DrupalCon Code has not yet been finalized, let alone submitted to the Association for approval and adoption. I would love to see the DrupalCon Code eventually merged with the Community Code at, but I think it would be a good idea to test out the DrupalCon version for a couple of events first just in case it needs further tweaking.

The Community Code was based on an existing, tested community code of conduct used by the Ubuntu community and adopted by Drupal with very few modifications. The revised draft of the DrupalCon Code was essentially written from scratch following the community feedback on the first round, and it has not been tested in a real-world setting. I would be much more comfortable if we were able to get through a couple of DrupalCons first and make sure the code does what it needs to do before starting the community process of trying to merge the two.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree they should be merged as soon as possible (pending approval). Revisions can still happen later on.

The DrupalCon code of conduct has now been approved by the DA board for use at DrupalCons, but it has not really been "tested in the field".

I support merging these documents, but agree it would be good to see how well they work. We'll get to that point soon...

Perhaps this can be reviewed again after Portland?

We discussed this in working group this morning - and the rest of the team felt they need to do such different jobs that it's best to keep them separate.
