CodeOfConduct4Lib

CC0 Licensed under CC0

Code4Lib seeks to provide a welcoming, fun, and safe community and conference experience and ongoing Community for everyone. We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment in any form. Discriminatory language and imagery is not appropriate for any event venue, including talks, or any community channel such as the chatroom or mailing list. Any community member can and should speak up when conduct or expression creates an uncomfortable environment for that member.

Reports of harrassment be addressed immediately. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please speak up and/or contact an event organizer, volunteer, or a "Code4lib helper" in person (if at an event) or over IRC immediately.

Harassment is understood as any behavior that threatens another person or group, or produces an unsafe environment. It includes offensive verbal comments or non-verbal expressions related to gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religious or political beliefs; sexual or discriminatory images in public spaces (including online); deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender, expulsion from the Code4Lib event, or banning the offender from a chatroom or mailing list.

Code4Lib event organizers can be identified by their name badges. Code4Lib IRC volunteers can be identified by issuing the @helpers command to the #code4lib bot named "zoia".

In the case of organized events, those responsible for the event should have readily available the following information.

  • Conference organizer: [ORGANIZER NAME], [PHONE NUMBER]
  • [MUNICIPALITY] Police Department: [PHONE NUMBER]
  • [LOCAL SEXUAL ASSAULT/CRISIS LINE]: [PHONE NUMBER]

We value everyone's participation in the Code4Lib community, and will all work to keep Code4Lib a safe and friendly space for all participants!

Based on the example policy from the Geek Feminism wiki, created by the Ada Initiative and other volunteers.
