This. Even from a US perspective, we really need to not let political division into even more apparently non-political things. As far as I can tell, the current language seems to be there to specifically avoid that. It isn't there to allow discrimination if someone tries to claim they're making a political statement.

Best,

Ian

It was not brought up explicitly as far as I remember. See e.g. https://github.com/jupyter/governance/pull/5 That's about moving names around. I don't see any mention of political beliefs? Sorry about that, I elided the 6. This is the correct link: https://github.com/jupyter/governance/pull/56 Thanks, that's useful context for your question. I'm personally not too attached to "political belief", but I think the discussion in that PR and in the OSCON context is very US-centric and reflective of the polarized atmosphere there. If everyone is fine with removing political beliefs then I'm fine with that, but I don't think that the argument itself (from a non-US perspective) has much merit. I'm strongly opposed to removing it. The last thing I want is to have politics brought into NumPy development, which is where this discussion is already headed. It could get ugly fast. Chuck
