As previously reported, the Community Health Team has started to have regular, bi-weekly meetings in an effort to develop and update the Code of Conduct (CoC) for the Drupal community.

Community Health Team members present at this week’s meeting were

• George DeMet
• Nikki Flores
• Julian Taylor
• Mark Casias
• Donna Bungard
• Mike Anello

We began the meeting with a review and updates related to our community outreach plans. We also briefly discussed how best to collect feedback, especially from individuals who want to provide anonymous feedback. We also discussed some additional Drupal community groups we want to reach out to for this effort.

In an effort to continue familiarizing ourselves with other communities’ Codes of Conduct, we  decided that we’d ask our community members which Codes of Conduct they’d like us to review. If you have any thoughts on this, please let us know at drupal-cwg at drupal dot org. We will also utilize the @drupalcommunity Twitter account for this effort.

We discussed what the next few steps in this process should be. One option is to figure out the “categories” of Code of Conducts that exist for open source communities, review relevant examples and categorize them. With this research, we’ll be in a much better position to decide on the category(ies) of CoC we envision for Drupal. After that, we’ll draft a list of elements we feel should be included in our updated CoC.

Finally, we set a goal for the completion of a new, revised, ready-to-adopt CoC: December 14, 2022.

A number of Drupal-related groups and individuals have confirmed their willingness to provide feedback to this effort as the process proceeds. If you, or a Drupal-related group, is interested in being part of this process, please let us know at drupal-cwg at drupal dot org.
