-
We do not tolerate harassment of conference
participants in any form. Offensive or graphic sexual
language and imagery is not appropriate for any
conference venue, including talks.
- Conference participants violating these rules may
be sanctioned or expelled from the conference at the
discretion of the conference organizers.
- Harassment includes offensive verbal comments
related to gender, sexual orientation, disability,
physical appearance, body size, race, religion, 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.
- If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the
conference organizers may take any action they deem
appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion
from the conference.
- If you are being harassed, notice that someone else
is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please
contact a member
of FSF
staff immediately. FSF staff are available in every
conference track and at the information desk throughout
the conference.
- Conference staff will be happy to help participants
contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement,
provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing
harassment to feel safe for the duration of the
conference.
We value your attendance.
This policy is based on several
other policies, including the OLF anti-harassment
policy, written by Esther Filderman and Beth Lynn
Eicher, and the Con Anti-Harassment Project. Mary
Gardiner, Valerie Aurora, Sarah Smith, and Donna
Benjamin generalized the policies and added supporting
material. Many members of LinuxChix, Geek Feminism and
other groups contributed to this work.
