Abstract

A fundamental change is happening in the way software is made in the FOSS communities in the 21st century. These communities are now mature and the people who work there understand their work place differently. Over a decade and a half as more and more companies employ developers to contribute to FOSS and the communities become diverse, different expectations have begun to emerge from all stakeholders. These global communities have narrower social interactions, say, around a water cooler or in person, therefore, putting a premium on the way their internal intermediated communication is conducted. This talk will examine why Code of Conduct in this new world are on the rise and are a positive sign for mature FOSS projects that govern themselves and don't like suits. It will explore ways of managing legal risk by drafting codes of conduct addressing bias, creating a frictionless reporting mechanism for legal incident response, and making the project a fun, inclusive productive place.
