If it's unrelated to PostgreSQL, then it's your personal business and not something the project would get involved in.

O.k. so this isn't clear (at least to me) within the CoC. I want to make sure I understand. You are saying that if a community member posts on Twitter that they believe gays are going to hell, reporting that to the CoC committee would result in a non-violation UNLESS they referenced postgresql within the post?

Yes, I believe so. Isn't that what "To that end, we have established this Code of Conduct for community interaction and participation in the project’s work and the community at large." basically says?

Honestly, no. At least not to me especially when you consider the sentence right after that, "This Code is meant to cover all interaction between community members, whether or not it takes place within postgresql.org infrastructure, so long as there is not another Code of Conduct that takes precedence (such as a conference's Code of Conduct)."

Based on your clarification, I am feeling better but the language doesn't read that way to me.

I wish this was easier but have we considered that all channels that we would be concerned with already have CoC's and therefore our CoC is fairly powerless? Sure they call them Terms of Use but that's what they are, Code of Conducts.

Thanks,

JD
