Hi,

So here is my suggestion for the GUADEC 2015 Code of Conduct.
It is pretty much exactly the 2014 GUADEC code of coduct.

I have also pretty much copied the wiki entry from 2014.
I think this is a nice code because it contains at least:

a) what is unacceptable behavior
b) how it will be enforced
c) how and to whom do you report to

What's missing is people willing to be in the Code of Conduct
support team. Described in the Wiki as:

"These people from among the conference organizers and GNOME
community form the code of conduct support team. Please contact them for help
and to report any incidents."

Any takers?

I would also like an opportunity to talk to volunteers before/during
the conference. About why a CoC is needed and how to enforce it.

Much love
Jonas

Code of Conduct

Short version

GUADEC is dedicated to a safe and friendly conference experience for
everyone. Please be considerate of other people in your actions at all
conference events. Please report any concerns to one of the contact
people below.

Longer version

GUADEC is a welcoming and friendly event, during which GNOME
contributors often make friends and resolve to come to the next
GUADEC.

GUADEC is dedicated to providing a safe and friendly conference
experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and
expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body
size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of
conference participants in any form. Harassment includes offensive
verbal comments related to any of the above qualities, deliberate
intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording,
sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical
contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference
venue, including talks. Sexist, racist, or other exclusionary comments
or jokes are not appropriate for GUADEC. Such content and remarks can
be harassing to people by making them feel excluded by other
attendees.

Participants asked to stop any harassing or inappropriate behavior are
expected to comply immediately.

Exhibitors in the sponsor exhibit space are also subject to the code of conduct.

We expect participants to follow these rules at all conference venues
and conference-related social events.
