The presentations from FOSDEM 2020 are online. FOSDEM is an annual, non-commercial conference for Free and Open Source software developers and takes place for two days every year in Brussels, Belgium. This year it was the first weekend in February, Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd. It is organized by volunteers and aims to promote the use of free and open source software. One beneficial aspect is the many developer rooms where various projects can meet and exchange ideas, plan, discuss, and hack. Participation is free of charge.

    You do not seem to understand that many of these topics are covered by the fundamental Law of most western countries.
    Harassment, discrimination, stalking, defamation and so forth...

    There is no need to talk about the feelings of special snowflakes.

    Because exploring the implication of this legislation in OSS is unworthy or is "talking about the feelings of special snowflakes" or... why?

    BTW, /zug, I do hope that you put some serious skin in the OSS game, otherwise your sideline opinions don't necessary count.

    There is no need to talk about the feelings of special snowflakes.

    There is the need to prevent

    Harassment, discrimination, stalking, defamation and so forth

    though! And education is one way. Similar to how nowadays "you can't give drunk consent" is a well-known idea, but in the 60s drunk sex was often considered fine, despite it being successfully prosecuted in the USA, in some cases, as nonconsentual rape. What changed? Only that people became more knowledgeable.
