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.
