[diversity] Experiences from the Django community

Dear Erik,

Thank you for that information. It's important to learn from other
communities, including where they went wrong so we can avoid their mistakes.

I saw that the "less obvious" checklist your cited linked to this tweet
of a poster at Django.

Was action taken against the creator of the poster on the left for
breach of the Code of Conduct? What kind of action was taken?

I agree that having a strong process behind any Code of Conduct is
fundamental. I have a couple of questions about Django's process:

If the CARE committee maintains a "blacklist" of "repeat offenders", is
this public? Are people on the list informed that they're on it, why,
and what it says about them?


Do Django participants have any right to challenge, appeal, or even be
heard on the subject of accusations against them? How does that process
work? Or is the CARE committee's decision final?

Malcolm.
