I support Jachym’s KISS principle. I also don’t think that more rules make a better conference. Peter’s “based on common sense and the good education my parents gave me. Which is inherently risk prone and delicate when getting intercultural, so requires a _lot_ of care and, if ever possible, seeking advice from members of the cultures concretely involved.” is a valuable statement in this context. We all should be careful and use common sense. What may make sense is a guideline for the LOC that they can use in case something happens they feel is bad or genuinely awful.<div class=""><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto; orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class="">My 2 cents, cheers,</span></div><div class=""><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">
hm...a little worrying how technology oriented people get ideologic.<br class="">
<br class="">
Why do I say "ideologic"?<br class="">
<br class="">
- belief structures. "One has to" and "obviously" lack a clear
subject in charge of giving the instructions (which effectively is
happening).<br class="">
As a consequence, someone not agreeing (read: not sharing this
belief) is subliminally put on the side of the assumed
not-so-good-doers: "Are you afraid of that commitment?"<br class="">
<br class="">
- attacking non-believers and suppressing free discussion. Examples:</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class=""><br class="">
> "more than a little annoyed that we’re even having this
conversation."<br class="">
<br class=""></div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">
- obscured authority. No institution/person/etc is named which is
responsible for requirements and soliciting actions. Citing:</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class=""><br class="">
> How do you know what’s genuinely awful and what’s “kind of
bad”?<br class=""></div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">
Who is the authority answering this, and doing so for the whole
planet and all its cultures?<br class="">
<br class="">
- lack of evidence. At "some" conferences "some" "incidents" are
said to have happened. Notice the 3-fold fuzziness which disallows
others to gain their own opinion and participate in discussion.
"conferences ... do not fair [ie: fare] so well" likewise excludes
communication partners from discussion as the assumed underlying
evidence is not shared.<br class="">
FWIW, I have attended all sorts of conferences all around this
planet for decades now and have not witnessed a single "incident"
that would require normative action.<br class="">
<br class="">
- pseudo-evidence. Examples are listed to underpin that codes of
conduct are a rulle. A clean statistical argument would indicate a
percentage of conferences. Also note this pattern: 2 conferences
have a CoC, so we must also have one, end of discussion. Next
conference: 3 conferences have a CoC, so we must also have one, end
of discussion.<br class="">
<br class="">
So, ideologic it is along the definition of Steger & James:
"Ideologies are patterned clusters of normatively imbued ideas and
concepts, including particular representations of power relations.
These conceptual maps help people navigate the complexity of their
political universe and carry claims to social truth." [1]<br class="">
<br class="">
Personally, I have an uneasy feeling going to a conference that
assumes that I (or my community, for that matter) needs tight
behavioral control. Next step is an obligatory "conduct police" that
patrols conferences to spot non-conforming behavior. Inverting the
below sentence, "I would have had to seriously consider if I wanted
to keynote at a conference _with_ a code of conduct". <br class="">
<br class="">
All that said, Darrell is raising the core questions indeed, I try
to honestly give my 2 cents:</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class=""><br class="">
> What if something genuinely awful happens? What will you do? <br class="">
</div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class=""><div class="">step in. done that earlier (in private situations, again: never

that, and how will you handle it? Who will do it?<br class="">
<div class="">> How do you know what’s genuinely awful and what’s “kind

</div></div><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class=""><div class=""><div class="">based on common sense and the good education my parents gave
me. Which is inherently risk prone and delicate when getting
intercultural, so requires a _lot_ of care and, if ever

David,<br class="">
I'm in favour of a Code Of Conduct,
but suggest there should be some
tweaking of the words (if using <a href="https://2015.foss4g-na.org/code-conduct" target="_blank" class="">https://2015.foss4g-na.org/code-conduct</a>
text)<br class="">
<br class="">
Reasons:<br class="">
1. At the moment, I think some wording
is a bit loose, and open to
misinterpretation between cultures and
geographic regions. What does "Sexual
images" mean? Is it nudity? Does a
photo of a field trip with naked
natives constitute a "sexual image"?
Is the clique advertisement of a
pretty sales girl standing next to a
car considered a "Sexual image"?
Should we be using a Middle East
definition of "Sexual image" or
"American" where the norm for
acceptable clothes are different? Is
wearing a mini-skirt considered
acceptable? (I don't have good words
to address this, but suspect there
would be template material somewhere
which could be used).<br class="">
<br class="">
2. We should be careful to try and
avoid attendees feeling that they are
being lectured to, as if organisors
expect attendees to be guilty. Maybe
start with, "In order to ensure a
pleasant experience for everyone, all
attendees are *expected to* ...
(instead of *required to* ...)"<br class="">
<br class="">
David,<br class="">
Once finalised, I suggest adding a
section about "Code of Conduct" into:

<div dir="ltr" class="">Dear
Conference
Committee,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">It has
recently been
brought to my
attention by a
member of our
community that
she noticed
the absence of
a Code of
Conduct for
the upcoming
Seoul FOSS4G.
I took this as
a huge sign
that the work
that has been
done by LOCs
in recent
FOSS4G,
regional OSGeo
events, and
other
technology and
geography
events towards
encouraging
diversity and
a welcoming
atmosphere to
all is indeed
being noticed.
I have also
been excited
to see based
simply on the
measure of
gender
diversity that
the numbers of
female
speakers has
been steadily
moving up over
the past
couple years.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I would
like to
encourage the
Conference
Committee (and
I am
volunteering
to do much of
the leg work)
to provide
guidelines for
implementing a
Code of
Conduct at
events for all
FOSS4G/OSGeo
related events
and to include
diversity
initiatives as
part of future
calls for
proposals for
the
international
event.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">While I
believe it is
too late for
the conference
committee to
make any
mandates to
the Seoul
team, is there
anyone who
knows the
folks on the
LOC that would
be willing to
help me reach
out to explain
the importance
of these
initiatives?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
