I just want to chime in and thank all those who worked on this Code of Conduct. It's well thought out, and I'm personally very glad to see it. I think this just makes our community and its work stronger. I strongly support it being put into effect.
Two years ago, there was considerable discussion about creating a Code of Conduct for the Postgres community, as a result of which the core team announced a plan to create an exploration committee to draft a CoC [1]. That process has taken far longer than expected, but the committee has not been idle. They worked through many comments and many drafts to produce a version that seems acceptable in the view of the core team. This final(?) draft can be found at
We are now asking for a final round of community comments. Please send any public comments to the pgsql-general list (only). If you wish to make a private comment, you may send it to coc@postgresql.org.
The initial membership of the CoC committee will be announced separately, but shortly.
Unless there are substantial objections, or nontrivial changes as a result of this round of comments, we anticipate making the CoC official as of July 1 2018.
