ConflictResolution
This page is designed to get ideas and solidify a reference point for Procedural Conflict Resolution. All team members are encouraged to voice their opinion. Since "Conflict" can mean different things to different people, I propose that the definition of conflict deals specifically with how to do things within the LoCo. It should in no way be related to personalities or personal conflicts within the LoCo. This reference design for conflict resolution should reflect the precepts of the CoC (and LCoC) including respect for each member, contributing or not.
Ubuntu Community Documentation on Disputes and Conflict: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/KnowledgeBase#Disputes and Conflict
Within the link above is a nice rundown by JonoBacon : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/Conflict/Resolution
Chapter 9 "Handling Conflict" is available from the online book Art of Community also by JonoBacon.
Comment: If its not handled skillfully, conflict can be very destructive to any volunteer group. We in the Ubuntu LoCo's have an especially high quality-of-relationships goal we have set for ourselves since we are built around the African concept of "ubuntu". Further we operate as leaders in a free culture/open source context with high expectations and ideals that we both take on and that are placed upon us by others observing us as together we struggle as a movement to address bug #1.
Another famous African concept word relevant to conflict resolution is "harambee", literally "all pull together".
