06:58 schestowitz; <p>We are writing to request the association's opinion on the phenomena of Codes of Conduct in the free, open source software domain.</p>

06:58 schestowitz; <p>The association operates a Code of Ethics with the stated aims of improving standards of professionalism in the industry at large.</p>

06:58 schestowitz; <p>The free, open source software domain is becoming increasingly prominent as a subset of the industry. In many cases it is the first point of contact for students in computing.</p>

06:58 schestowitz; <p>The largest and most well known employers in the industry have all engaged with the open source concept in some way. These employers and their management count among the members of the association governed by the official Code of Ethics.</p></blockquote></li>
