Btw. let me add two URLs that convinced me that we need such a policy: https://lwn.net/Articles/417952/ http://jezebel.com/5705980/women-fed-up-with-open-source-community-creeps
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 don't see a different way - and looking what others write, this seems to be the best option.
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...
Some of that is already in Jos' proposal - and if you have other examples, please name them - or suggest a different proposal, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE aj@{novell.com,suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
