Translatable Code of Conduct (CoC) and Leadership Code of Conduct (LCoC)

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)

"Ubuntu governance bodies" is a generic term to cover any organisation that is 
in control of Ubuntu so it includes organisations such as the Community Council 
and possibly official LoCo Teams too (although the LoCo Teams may have 
geographically restricted influence directly (i don't know but it is 
possible)).  It is just vague enough to cover any future changes or 
re-organisations or restructuring of the way Ubuntu is run.

This is not an "official" answer but just the way i would interpret the phrase.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

Hi David and all,

For brainstorming, I propose yet another tasks. So,

  -  Do we need Onomasticon ?
  -  Do we need "English = English translation" ?

We (Japanese LoCo) had translate CoC already( http://bit.ly/9WJ80c ).
In translation works, we face some challenges about CoC/LCoC terms.

Do we need Onomasticon ? :

- CoC has some {philosophical implications, Ubuntu governance term}.
   For example, "Ubuntu governance bodies". We need long discussion about
   this term, because we have to analyze , "it include nuance? Or, is it
   proper name?(like Community Council?) "
   In this case, we check Jono's blog[1] and other documents, but it is
   heavy to dicisions. But if we had proper name lists, we can work easily.

Do we need "English = English translation" ?  :

- For translation works, many "paraphrase" creates good translations.
   (see also: "Paraphrasing Social from the start"[2])

Any ideas?
