    Looking around at various Conference "Codes of Conduct", I found the
    O'Reilly definition to be eloquently worded, and less threatening to
    potential attendees. (Although I still can't find a clear definition

      most people are intelligent and well-intended, and we're not
      inclined to tell people what to do. However, we want every
      O'Reilly conference to be a safe and productive environment for
      everyone. To that end, this code of conduct spells out the
      behavior we support and don't support at conferences. The core of
      our approach is this:</p>

      or offensive behavior, at our conference venues or anywhere. It's
      counter to our company values. More importantly, it's counter to
      our values as human beings.</p>

      unequivocal support of appropriate behavior by all participants at
      technical events, including all O'Reilly conferences. We invite
      you to help us make each O'Reilly conference a place that is
      welcoming and respectful to all participants, regardless of race,
      gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance,
      national origin, ethnicity, or religion. So that everyone can
      focus on the conference itself, and the great networking and
      community richness that happens when we get together in person, we
      will not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any
      form—in person or online.</p>

      follow the Code of Conduct during the conference. This includes
      conference-related social events at off-site locations, and in

      stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

                        <div>Yep. We’ve discussed CoC a little
                          bit when we prepared for the website. However
                          we didn’t add CoC to the website at that time.
                          The reasons we didn’t include CoC are as
                          follows:</div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>1. Actually we didn’t understand
                          what is CoC and what is the main purpose of
                          CoC. Without understanding the real meaning of
                          CoC, we didn’t want to add that to the website
                          just like accessary. We knew there were CoCs
                          at FOSS4G 2013 and 2014.(Many of LOC members
                          attended both conferences) After reading and
                          reviewing CoCs from FOSS4G 2013 and 2014, we
                          thought that those CoC are sorts of morals or
                          rules that we should follow through the life
                          and that should be part of our life(except
                          over sexual issue, I’ll talk this later) all
                          the time. CoC message can be summarised just
                          like this. No Discrimination, No Harassment,
                          No Sexuality. I thought No Discrimination, No
                          Harassment are the baseline morals of our
                          general life to live together with others. We
                          should follow those baseline whether we are in
                          the conference or outside of the conference
                          just like air. When I saw that CoC at past
                          FOSS4G site, I got feeling just like this.
                          “You should breathe the air, otherwise you
                          will be expelled without refund.” And I was
                          also curious that “And then am I allowed to
                          discriminate other people outside of the
                          conference?” I’m not trying to neglect the
                          importance of CoC. </div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>In short, we were not fully
                          convinced whether we needed to add CoC to the
                          website and didn’t understand the real meaning
                          of CoC at that time. However we are not
                          reluctant to add CoC to the website
                          if everyone is assured of the expectation of a
                          welcoming conference!</div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>2. Regarding over sexuality issue,
                          I totally agree with Cameron’s view. Feeling
                          sexuality is somewhat different culture by
                          culture and region by region. A month ago I
                          was somewhat shocked when I got message from
                          U.S. that my recent presentation named "7
                          Reasons: Why you should come to FOSS4G 2015
                          Seoul” included over-sexual photo. Actually I
                          included a photo of very popular Korea girl
                          group there. I didn’t think that the photo is
                          so sexual. However he felt that photo is
                          over-sexual. I could say that if you show that
                          picture to general Korean people and ask them
                          whether that photo is over-sexual, 8~9 out 10
                          will not agree with that. However if you show
                          a picture of a woman with low-cut neck line,
                          many Koreans will say that that is too
                          sexual. </div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>There is another issues over
                          “Sexual” as well. Who will set up the standard
                          of sexual? Who will decide which is sexual or
                          not? Organiser? And then will you expel the
                          attendee who believe that his/her image is not
                          sexual in his culture but sexual in U.S.? If
                          FOSS4G will take place in Middle East, should
                          we follow their standard over sexual? Also I
                          believe that harsh banning on sexuality could
                          hurt the freedom of speech as well. </div>
                        <div><br>
                        </div>
                        <div>3. Just like Cameron mentioned, as
                          Chairperson of the FOSS4G this year, I have
                          the responsibility to make the event <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">a pleasant experience for everyone
