He has been involved in numerous discussions around geek feminist subjects, and frequently posts on subjects related to women in Ubuntu and/or [[FLOSS]] in general on his blog.

| − | == Mark Shuttleworth incident == |
||
| − | |||
| − | In 2009, Jono's boss, Mark Shuttleworth, [[Mark Shuttleworth at Linuxcon|made comments in a Linuxcon keynote]] saying that Linux is hard to explain to girls. A widespread discussion ensued. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A week after Shuttleworth's talk, Jono posted [http://www.jonobacon.org/2009/09/30/changing-the-conversation/ Changing the conversation] -- a call to focus on the positive aspects of women in [[FLOSS]]. The post was a mild form of the [[Tone argument]]; check the comment thread for further silencing tactics such as claims that discussing sexism is [[Harming the community]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | == OpenRespect project == |
||
| − | |||
| − | In 2010, Jono launched the [[OpenRespect]] project, a call for greater respect among members of the [[FLOSS]] community. The project has been criticised as simply being a [[Tone argument]] laid out as policy. (See [[OpenRespect]] for more.) |

| − | == Other incidents == |
||
| − | |||
| − | * In 2007, Jono [http://www.jonobacon.org/2007/03/30/balancing-discussion/ posted] a blog post saying that both abusive discussion and political correctness jeopardized open discussion in the Ubuntu community. As he alluded to in the intro, this was shortly after a [[Ubuntu-UK Code of Conduct incident|sexist joke was posted]] on an Ubuntu mailing list. He chose not to take a position on whether the sexist joke violated the [[Ubuntu]] [[Code of conduct]], and in context the blog post may imply he believed such incidents do not. |
||
| − | * In 2010, Jono (or a committee which he led?) [http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/UbuntuWomen/LeadershipNominationsProcess/January2010 appointed] a new leader for the [[Ubuntu Women]] project. Since one of the nominees, [[Melissa Draper]], had frequently clashed with Jono over issues of sexism in the FLOSS community, this was seen by some as a conflict of interest. |
||
| − | * During the discussions about [[Ubuntu-women logging proposal|logging the #ubuntu-women IRC channel]], Jono was in favour of logging, despite arguments that the channel provided a de facto [[Safe space]] for members of the community, and that this would be compromised by logging. He was accused of rushing discussion and railroading votes on the subject. <ref>http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Meetings/20091209/logs</ref> |

"Jono Bacon" article no longer available.
Due to the Geek Feminism Wiki being in archival mode, we no longer maintain most biographies of living people (nor most people who were living as of circa 2008–2012 when most biographical articles were written), such as this article on Jono Bacon.
