RE: Why we really can't use Facebook for technical discussion.

Hi Lloyd,

 

My reading of that code of conduct is that it only applies to Microsoft run open-source projects rather than all open-source projects hosted on Github.  I.e., I would not regard IETF work hosted on github as coming under the scope of that code of conduct.

 

I’ve not read the policy closely, but at a quick glance it also looks reasonable to me.

 

Regards,
Rob

It's worth pointing out that, as the IETF increases its reliance on Microsoft-owned github, and discussion moves more and more from IETF-managed mailing lists to git pull requests, IETF discussions become subject to Microsoft's own underlying social media rules. Git has now morphed from a complex command-line tool into a social network with, like, the worst interface ever, which makes it a natural fit with the computing vistas of Redmond.

 

 

Still, good to know who runs things around here.

 

now I really miss Myspace.

But just a few weeks ago, we had a "tools" survey circulating, and several of the questions related to using assorted social media platforms for IETF work.

If you can get banned for a kill -9 comment -- well, we really can't be using that platform for IETF stuff. Even for jokes, apparently.
