No, that's not true at all. "Inappropriate" is something that is offensive to others. With that you presto arrive at political correctness where everbody tries to evade even the tiniest possibility of possibly being offensive and at least I would not want to be part of it. If you try to parse this out individually, sure, you can get stuck in the minor details of wordsmithing. NO! It's not minor details of wordsmithing! You seem to assume that cultural differences don't exist as otherwise you wouldn't talk in that way. YES, it is! Skimming over the links posted on harassment cases on conferences I did not find a single one which I would have not considered inappropriate and I think most of us would feel the same way.
+1, the cultural-relativity argument is a straw-man. And it is your conference; you get to define the culture. I've been to conferences and I'm pretty sure I was in the room for one of the instances mentioned in the articles [presenter using slide of bikini clad females]. It was ridiculous, and would have been ridiculous anywhere. Hooray to those who are putting some guidelines down. Just make sure you send a copy to those presenting / volunteering; don't just stash it on some forgotten wiki somewhere. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
