Debian's diversity statement
Debian's diversity statement
[Distributions] Posted Apr 9, 2012 14:05 UTC (Mon) by corbet
After a fairly typical Debian-style discussion, the project appears to have settled on the wording of a diversity statement for the project:
The Debian Project welcomes and encourages participation by everyone.
It doesn't matter how you identify yourself or how others perceive you: we welcome you. We welcome contributions from everyone as long as they interact constructively with our community.
While much of the work for our project is technical in nature, we value and encourage contributions from those with expertise in other areas, and welcome them into our community.
Stefano Zacchiroli has declared an apparent end to the discussion, but is holding off until after the project leader election to give the new leader (assuming it's somebody different) a chance to express an opinion.
