Don't be annoyed, be thankful that your community consists of people who care enough to argue. In my opinion, your proposal is causing a problem because it tries to address an issue that does not, as far as we know, exist. You have so far neglected to argue why you deem this policy to be necessary.
Of course it's a problem that exists; harassment at conferences has been well documented, even if you haven't seen it personally. Has it happened before at an openSUSE event? I don't know. But "it hasn't happened yet" is not a reasonable argument against having a policy.
Nor is "but it could happen" a reasonable argument for having a policy. "there is a significant possibility it will happen" is a good argument, but noone has (as far I have seen) tried using that yet. /Per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
