− | Meeting closed at around 21:20. | + | Samson has received confidential complaints about Sugar Labs; |
| + | * we are unsafe, rude, and don't want to listen, |
| + | * we don't take our vision seriously, |
| + | |
| + | We discussed; |
| + | * who we are, |
| + | * this is an important issue, |
| + | * why people would tell Samson, |
| + | * newcomers can think their ideas are wonderful, |
| + | * hasty replies are seen as rude and brief, yet careful replies are seen as rude and condescending, |
| + | * the complaint can be a criticism of the power we have in the meritocracy, (or a failure to engage in the meritocracy), |
| + | * possibility of anonymous suggestion box, or survey, but this risks further trolling, and how asking questions about a problem makes a problem larger, |
| + | * need to accommodate new and veteran contributors, ... let them make mistakes and learn, |
| + | * we are all very pressured time-wise, it is so boring to repeat the same advice over and over, |
| + | * we might ask our Ombudsman to investigate, |
| + | * we have a welcome to Sugar Labs checklist, (lists the skills and achievements to attain), |
| + | * private complaints should be public so the community can react, |
| + | * use more empathy, |
| + | * the assisting mentor issue; a perception of non-inclusiveness, caused by using wrong forum, a code of conduct issue. |
| + | |
| + | We did not make a decision. |
