community working group

As mentioned during Dries's DrupalCon LA keynote, the Drupal Community Working Group is now accepting nominations for the Aaron Winborn Award, to honour Drupal community members who demonstrate personal integrity, kindness, and above-and-beyond commitment to the Drupal community.

Nominations are open until Monday 15 June 2015, and the selected recipient will receive a scholarship and stipend to attend DrupalCon with recognition during a plenary session at the event.

In previous posts, we’ve talked about who the Community Working Group (CWG) is and why we’re here, as well some of the work we’ve done around establishing a process for conflict resolution in the Drupal community.

In this post, I’d like to go into more detail about what happens when folks file incident reports with the Community Working Group, and open up the conversation on how we can more effectively address issues that have a larger impact on the Drupal community as a whole.

No Time for Documentation

UPDATE: The policy has now been adopted by the community working group. It lives here: https://drupal.org/conflict-resolution (now with pretty URL!)

For some time we've had a bit of unfinished business around the Drupal Code of Conduct around how we manage and respond to conflict.

The Community Working Group has drafted a policy and is now looking for community feedback over the next 2 weeks. Please check out the draft in the drupal-cwg issue queue.

In early 2013 our fearless and benevolent leader, Dries Buytaert, formalised a governance structure and started a number of working groups for the Drupal project as a whole, and for our home on the Web, Drupal.org.
