we,
as a community, value and respect people of all stripes - genders, orientations, races, abilities, shapes and sizes - and will not tolerate vilification, abuse or harassment in any form. We appreciate that cultural differences may cause misunderstanding so are trying to clarify these, and will attempt to smooth misunderstandings as they arise, but expect people to not play dumb, and make an effort.
I really like this phrasing. This should be simply added to the guiding principles (eventually as a side note).
Yup, it is beautifully said. If others agree, why not add it?
what I expect for a conference is more practical aspects than rules of conducts. Practical aspects mean that the way of life of the country the conference is located have to be respected, and the way the rules are enforced is clearly predicted.
We have to accept than open source users are people like any others, nor better nor worse and if we meet them in a number, we have to take appropriate organisation.
but IMHO we need also some internal set of practical rules to enforce we as organisation are not breaking our own rules
