Call for Nominations for Code of Conduct (CoC) Committee Members

[Mayaleeeee]

Hello, AsyncAPI Community

As our community continues to grow, so does the need to maintain a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for everyone. Our core Code of Conduct (CoC) team currently includes myself @Mayaleeeee and @AceTheCreator, with the fantastic support of @thulieblack and @derberg.

To better serve this growing and diverse community, we’re officially opening nominations for new CoC Committee members!

---

Why This Matters?

The Code of Conduct Committee plays a crucial role in:

• Ensuring a safe and respectful environment across Slack, GitHub, social media, and our events/meetings.
• Responding to reports or incidents transparently and fairly.
• Guiding how we uphold our values as a community.

Given the scope of our activities, we believe the CoC role can benefit from being more distributed. One proposed approach:

• Slack CoC lead – Managed by @Mayaleeeee
• GitHub CoC lead – Managed by @AceTheCreator

However, we recognize that this work extends beyond those platforms and needs more hands and perspectives involved!

You can read more about the committee's role in the Code of Conduct Committee Charter and how we handle issues in our Incident Resolution Procedures.

What We’re Looking For

• Folks who care about inclusion, empathy, and community safety.
• Have time and willingness to respond to potential CoC-related issues.
• Can be discreet, fair, and balanced in conflict resolution.
• Represent different perspectives and backgrounds.

---

How Nominations Work

• You can nominate up to 3 community members who you believe would be a good fit for the CoC Committee.
• Nominees can be members of the TSC, but we strongly encourage community contributors who are not on the TSC to nominate themselves or be nominated!
• If you're nominating yourself, feel free to introduce yourself and share why you would like to join the CoC Committee
• After nominations, the top members with the highest number of votes will be selected to join the committee.

---

What Next?

We’ll leave nominations open for a period of 2 weeks, after which we’ll move on to voting.

Thank you!
— Maya, on behalf of the CoC Team

Hi everyone,

I'd love to volunteer myself to be included on the AsyncAPI Code of Conduct Committee!
I really care about making sure everyone here feels safe, included, and welcome. A CoC member ought to be active, approachable, and community-oriented and I think I embody that.

If you check the Introductions channel, you’ll often see me being the first to welcome new folks. Many beginners even reach out to me directly in DMs for guidance and support. During the GSoC season, my inbox was flooded with messages from newcomers (though things are oddly quiet now 😅).

My contributions don’t stop at Slack. I’ve also actively helped beginners on GitHub, giving suggestions, guiding them through issues, and making sure they feel supported. So I’d be happy and excited to help with CoC responsibilities on both Slack and GitHub.

Also, let’s not forget the vibes. I regularly share memes in the Watercooler channel to help keep the atmosphere light, friendly, and stress-free. Honestly, you could even crown me with the “Best Memer of 2025” award 😂

If needed, please feel free to check my activeness on both Slack and GitHub for proof. Otherwise, I’d be happy to share examples here as well!
In all seriousness, I value empathy, inclusion, and respect, and I’m eager to contribute more formally to maintaining a positive and welcoming space for everyone.

Thanks!

Update (May 14, 2025)

In light of the recent situation within the community(see Slack Thread) and ongoing investigations by the Code of Conduct team, we are temporarily postponing the CoC committee nomination process.

Additionally, moving forward, nominations will be limited to TSC members only. This is to ensure that the CoC committee is composed of individuals with demonstrated knowledge of the community, its culture, and its values.

Once we have completed our review and resolved the current issue, we’ll revisit the nomination timeline.

Thank you for your understanding.

I want to be part of the CoC Committee, it has been almost 2 years at Asyncapi. I started as a contributor, then became a TSC Member as well as a Maintainer of the CLI. I have completed the Asyncapi mentorship, and I am currently working as a GSoC mentor. I am very active in the organisation and help the new contributors as much I can to provide a proper view of the Asyncapi as well as i have opened many bounties issues for new comers as well : )
