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-communi ty-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 agree with AJ and applaud Jos initiative. I recommend that the CFP reference this policy so that conference speakers are made aware of the policy prior to being accepted as presenters and that they can then plan to adhere to it.
This is an oversight from my side in the current draft for the CfP on the wiki. I did add a mention to this policy in the Novell press announcement on the conference, however. Sorry for missing that.
