[fudcon-planning] #86: Consider anti-harrassment policy for FUDCon

#86: Consider anti-harrassment policy for FUDCon -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: pfrields Type: Task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- To date, we've never had any safety, hostility, or harrassment problems at a FUDCon. Nor do I believe this would change in the near future. However, some community conferences have had this problem: * http://valerieaurora.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/its-not-just-noirin/ * https://lwn.net/Articles/417952/ We've been asked whether we'd consider an anti-harrassment policy for FUDCon. Some Fedora community members have been involved in the creation of a generic policy that is available for adaptation and use: * http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/index.php?title=Conference_anti- harassment_policy I believe all planners would agree we want attendees at a FUDCon to enjoy their time there, and that we want them to feel safe to participate and contribute there. However, there are some pending questions about what risks and benefits the establishment of a policy creates. For instance, does it increase liability for organizers, or Red Hat as a sponsor? I'd think not, but since I'm not an expert, and don't believe any of us in the planning group are, I've reached out to find a personnel policy expert in Red Hat who could advise us. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/86> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

by Jared K. Smith 27 Jun '11

27 Jun '11

Just a friendly reminder of the FUDCon planning meeting schedules, as we haven't had much participation in the last several meetings. FUDCon Milan planning meetings are every Friday at 15:00 UTC. (That's 11:00am EDT for those of us in the USA who are time-zone challenged at times.) The planning meetings for FUDCon Blacksburg will start on July 6th, and will be every Wednesday at 16:00 UTC (That's noon EDT.) Please join us for upcoming planning meetings to help make both FUDCons as successful as possible. -- Jared Smith Fedora Project Leader
