Django Code of Conduct

Structure of membership in the committee

Members of the committee are all volunteers, and we're always aiming to have high representation of people coming from different places and backgrounds. There is no set number of people required to be on the committee at the moment. Committee tries to keep the number as small as possible due to sensitivity of the matter, but big enough to achieve diversity of the views and fast response time to incoming reports.

Whenever there is a need to add new members, committee reviews proposals from people who volunteered thus far but are not on the committee yet. If that number is still too low, a call for volunteers is published on Django blog.

Current members of the committee:

  • Dan Ryan, Chair
  • Elena Williams, Vice-Chair
  • Jay Miller
  • Jeff Triplett
  • Thibaud Colas
  • Chaim Kirby, DSF Board President and board liaison

Past members of the committee:

  • Brian Moloney
  • Michael Clark
  • Joseph V. Cardenas
  • Olumide Bakare
  • Tibbs Hefflin
  • Frank Wiles
  • Sasha Romijn
  • Greg Turner
  • Paul Hallett
  • Emily Karungi
  • Ola Sitarska
  • Baptiste Mispelon
  • Lacey Williams Henschel
  • Rebecca Conley
  • Amber Brown (Hawkowl)

Terms of membership:

Starting on 25th May, 2016, committee decided to introduce fixed-term membership. Each member of the committee is only obligated to serve on the committee for a fixed period of time, with 6-9 months being a default term. The idea behind it allows members of the committee to step down from serving without feeling guilty, and assumes an opt-in membership instead of opt-out, as it was thus far.

Member Join date Length of term Next opt-in date
Jeff Triplett May 5th 2016 9 months April 30th 2019
Brian Moloney February 1, 2017 9 months April 30th 2019
Olumide Bakare February 1, 2017 9 months April 30th 2019
Joseph V. Cardenas February 1, 2017 9 months April 30th 2019
Michael Clark February 1, 2017 9 months April 30th 2019
Tibbs Hefflin February 1, 2017 9 months April 30th 2019

After the membership term ends, the invitation to stay in the committee is automatically extended, but member has to confirm they're indeed still interested and have time to serve on the committee (opt-in).
