[Operators] Re: [XMPP OpMeet] Online meetup for XMPP operators

Hey Msavoritias, I am aware that some people will disagree on this, but I wasn't going to spend ages writing a long CoC. In general it will be "abide by the XSF CoC", or simply "don't be an arsehole". I don't find spending lots of time refining a long complex CoC is a good allocation of time. Quite simply, if someone is being an arsehole, they will be booted. The hosting will be provided by me, seen as I am calling the meetup, its only fair I fund it. This also eliminates the whole concern about malicious use of the services because I will be the one which is providing them. I am aware JoinJabber feels strongly about extensive and restrictive CoC, however I do not believe this will be beneficial for the meetup. We want people to feel included, but also not so restricted on topics they can talk about. Notably, paid providers might want to attend, and this would specifically make the no capitalism clause of the JoinJabber CoC exclude such people. For this reason, I want to KISS [1]. I can assure you, if someone is being offensive or generally just being an arsehole, they will be booted. However I understand this conflicts with your beliefs, it would be nice to have you attend, but I will not exclude others to do so. Hope you understand.
