OSCA Events Code of Conduct | ||
|
||
All organizers, attendees, speakers, sponsors, and volunteers at OSCA | ||
community events are required to agree to uphold the following code of | ||
conduct. Open Source Community Africa community event organizers will | ||
enforce this code throughout the event. We are expecting cooperation | ||
from all participants to help ensure a safe environment. | ||
|
||
The Quick Version Open Source Community Africa is dedicated to providing | ||
a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, | ||
gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, | ||
physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack | ||
thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of event | ||
participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery are not | ||
appropriate for any event venue, including talks, workshops, parties, | ||
Twitter and other online media. Event participants violating these rules | ||
may be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund at the | ||
discretion of the event organizers. | ||
|
||
The Less Quick Version Harassment includes offensive verbal comments | ||
related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual | ||
orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, | ||
ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, | ||
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. | ||
|
||
Exhibitors in the expo hall, sponsors or vendors booths or similar | ||
activities are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In | ||
particular, sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or | ||
other material. Sponsor staff (including volunteers) should not use | ||
sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes or otherwise create a sexualized | ||
environment. | ||
|
||
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the event organizers may | ||
take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or | ||
expulsion from the event with no refund. | ||
|
||
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, | ||
or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the organizing | ||
team immediately. If you have concerns about a member of the organizing | ||
team, please email [email protected]. | ||
|
||
Event staff will be happy to help participants contact venue security or | ||
local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those | ||
experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event. We | ||
value your attendance. We expect participants to follow these rules at | ||
all Open Source Community Africa related event venues. | ||
