we need a way to avoid such things. I personnally think a written 
policy is of little use. It makes us feel good and keep bad old habits...

I speciall y like this link:

http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/index.php?title=Timeline_of_incidents

but then you simply discover our society [our :-))) you see I'm in 
occident] is incredibly sexist, what may not be a surprise.

this makes me think we need actions, not policies. The problem seems 
to be mostly sexism. If so *we* should have, as organisation, a self 
policy, specially aimed to the presenters and organisers. The 
harassment list of Jos seem aimed at individual harassement, when I 
see the references more speaking of collective harassement.

For example, the more recent thing:

http://blog.mozilla.com/dherman/2011/05/02/a-failure-of-imagination/

the problem there is not that of the public, but that of the organiser.

Thats why I asked for a survey of the problems. I never imagined a 
conference organiser could do such a thing!

We need a list of stupid things to avoid. Nobody will read (or 
remember code of conduct), but some small sentences, yes. Do not name 
the hurricanes only from female surnames...
