So here is an extreme example of what could be interpreted as a
"sexualized image". Should I get thrown out of a conference for
including one of these images in my presentation?<br>

Gina,
<br>
I understand that you are the point of contact for the O'Reilly
conference code of conduct. [1]
<br>
<br>
The Open Source Geospatial (OSGeo) Conference Committee is
currently discussing setting up a code of conduct for conferences
[2]. I like the O'Reilly wording, and have suggested OSGeo adopt
something similar.
<br>
<br>
However, one thing I find lacking is a clear definition of
"sexualized images". Does O'Reilly have guidelines for assessing
whether an image is "sexualized"?
<br>
<br>
Would it be appropriate for a presenter to include an image from a
main stream media commercial? Likewise, could such images be
displayed by vendors at conferences? I'd expect so. However, large
proportions of main stream commercials make use of young, "sexy"
models.
<br>
<br>
I'm interested to hear your thoughts. Feel free to forward this
email to appropriate people.
<br>
<br>
Regards,
<br>
Cameron Shorter
