hm, re geek feminism: so a normative document (CoC) is being
established which, for definition of a highly ambiguous and debated
term relies on the wiki of a group of people that is not identified
further and does not have any normative legitimation itself.
Further, said link is subject to change without notice , without
clear regulations when and how (any voting there?). Scary.<br>

Following on from this email thread, I've drafted a proposed Code
of Conduct, where I've aimed to address:<br>
* Be concise (concise words get read more)<br>
* Cover key messages<br>
* Include an escalation process for dealing with both minor and
major issues<br>
* Ensure key terms are understood (in particular reference to
definition of sexualised images)<br>
* Couch in positive language<br>
<br>
<b>Tickbox version</b>:<br>
* I agree to act respectfully toward others in line with the OSGeo
Code of Conduct.<br>
<br>
<b>OSGeo Code of Conduct</b>:<br>
<br>
This Code of Conduct collates the collective values adopted by our
OSGeo community which baselines the behaviour we do and don’t
support to ensure OSGeo is a safe and productive environment for
all.<br>
<br>
We invite everyone to be respectful to all, regardless of race,
gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance,
national origin, ethnicity, religion, or ideas. We do not tolerate
harassment of others in any form. Examples of harassment include
offensive comments, verbal threats or demands, sexualized images
in public spaces, intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or
recording, sustained disruption of events, and unwelcome physical
contact or sexual attention. [1]<br>
<br>
We expect all participants to follow the Code of Conduct when
involved in OSGeo activities. This includes conferences, related
social events, and online forums. Participants violating this Code
of Conduct will be asked to desist and/or make amends. For gross
or continual violations, offenders may be expelled from the event
or forum without a refund, and/or banned from future events or
other forums.<br>
<br>
Participants are encouraged to bring any concerns to the attention
of event staff, the forum, forum leader, or OSGeo Board. We thank
all for helping keep OSGeo welcoming, respectful, and friendly for
all.<br>
<br>

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 of "sexual images".)<br>

spells out the behavior we support and don't support at

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>
