What does this PR accomplish?

  • This PR adds the "Power of Consensus..." blog to the Ethical Source site

Getting there

  • I wrote this blog with Rynn Mancuso and Maryblessing Okolie.

Interesting bits

  • Really cool because it highlights the consensus based approach we took to launching v3.

Notes for reviewers

  • Is there an image we could use?
  • The last paragraph contains links to all the folks who provided feedback. I need help confirming they are all correct.

Ok resolved all but one comment. Was there something in particular about the synchronous and asynchronous work that you think we should highlight? @CoralineAda

> “It took us a year and six months to complete the entire draft while making sure people were available. It took that long because we wanted to make sure that we were incorporating every bit of feedback,” Maryblessing Okolie said.

The WG persevered through unexpected creative challenges and delays to ensure that everyone in the WG agreed with every word and change in the final draft of version 3. Everything was discussed and weighed against the needs of the whole. The WG utilized google docs for draft version control, instead of GitHub. We wanted to ensure that contributors to the Contributor Covenant felt safe in providing their feedback in an environment that was protected from bad actors in the public.

I would suggest something like "The working group decided against using GitHub for version control of the draft, opting to work in a shared document instead. This was to ensure that participants felt safe contributing to the sensitive drafting process in an environment that was kept safe from bad actors."
