User:Skm/Code of Conduct

My guests and I should Be excellent to each other and respectful of differences. We should display common courtesy towards other members and guests. If you are my guest and are behaving in an unacceptable way, I may give you a warning or ask you to leave.

Part of my mission in hosting python office hours is to provide a place where people can learn and help other people learn python and programming regardless of skill level. Accordingly, everyone at office hours is expected to show respect and courtesy to each other. Be patient and kind. Help make office hours a welcoming and beginner friendly place.

I am working on a draft to improve my code of conduct. Here is a current draft.

DRAFT

EVENT provides a professional setting for programmers of all backgrounds and experience levels to spend time working on python projects. We want attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.

This event is welcoming to programmers of all backgrounds and experience levels, and is friendly to cis women, trans women, and all trans* people.

The Short Version

Attendees and volunteers are expected to show sensitivity and courtesy to each other during an event and related social activities. All communication should be appropriate for a professional context.

The Long Version

Attendees and volunteers are expected to refrain harassing behavior. Harassing behavior includes sexualized language or innuendo, slurs related to ethnicity, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation, disparaging remarks about any group of people, unwanted sexual attention, deliberate intimidation, deliberate misgendering, stalking, invasion of personal space, presentation of unprofessional material in event spaces, violence, and disruptive behavior. These behaviors are unrelated to our goals, and they can be alienating to attendees and volunteers.

Procedures

Participants who engage in harassing behavior are to comply immediately when asked to stop. The organizers may take actions ranging from warning the offender to asking the offender to leave. A more detailed list of actions can be found in the Organizer Procedures for Handling Incidents

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please let a volunteer know. Volunteers can be identified by badges. Volunteers will take action to help you. Guidelines for reporting incidents can be found in the Attendee Procedures for Reporting Incidents. Attribution
