In this talk, I’d like to present about our experiences with the process of introducing and enforcing a Code of Conduct to an open source community.

Open source communities are diverse with people from various backgrounds. It is important to foster the spirit of inclusiveness in it. A Code of Conduct reinforces this beleif to old and new contributors alike. People also know whom to contact in case of crises. The talk will cover:

• Why Code of Conduct
• How to choose (or write) the text
• Moderators
• Community response
• Evolving the Code of Conduct
