Some notes from first meeting discussion about this:

  • During last year, the Stanford POC-IT working group had backlash over a list of words
    • Should we mention this in our overview blog post for Black History Month
  • Out-in-tech has community bots that notify users; something we should consider?
    • Ping general community about this concept?
    • Maybe start conversation in DEI-discussions channel, see where this goes, then have steering committee guide further discussion/direction
  • Create a blog post and/or newsletter announcement about this
    • Could we create a single sentence blurb about this for all future, quarterly, etc. newsletters?

Notes from 02/14/24:

  • Asking the community about the use of bots to monitor?
  • Focus on repairing relationships
  • ‘The DEI conference committee could help or organize something around: “Having the tough conversations” “language is important” “navigating conflict and resistance”’
  • Something to note that came out of the COC reviews
    • "A statement during a US-RSE Zoom call was reported as an example of gendered language. It was determined that this particular language was not a violation of the Code of Conduct as it was not derogatory or exclusionary, but that further communication and discussion should be had about gendered and other biased language in US-RSE spaces."
  • That was the Out In Tech bot I think. that "pokes" people to use other words/language
