| 13 | +## Full Code of Conduct |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +_To make clear what is expected, all delegates/attendees, speakers, |
| 16 | +exhibitors, organizers and volunteers at any DjangoCon US event are required |
| 17 | +to conform to the following Code of Conduct. Organizers will enforce this code |
| 18 | +throughout the event._ |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +### What the conference is |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +DjangoCon US is a community conference intended for networking and |
| 23 | +collaboration in the developer community. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +We value the participation of each member of the Django community and want all |
| 26 | +attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all |
| 27 | +attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees |
| 28 | +throughout the conference, at all conference events, and in all conference |
| 29 | +online spaces (such as Slack), whether officially sponsored by DjangoCon US or |
| 30 | +not. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +### Be Kind To Others |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +Do not insult or put down other attendees. Behave professionally. Remember |
| 35 | +that harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not appropriate |
| 36 | +for DjangoCon US. Attendees violating these rules may be asked to leave the |
| 37 | +conference without a refund at the sole discretion of the conference |
| 38 | +organizers. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +### Be Respectful |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor |
| 43 | +behavior and poor manners. We do not tolerate harassment of conference |
| 44 | +participants in any form. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +Harassment includes: offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender |
| 47 | +identity, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, |
| 48 | +race, religion; sexual images in public spaces; deliberate intimidation, |
| 49 | +stalking, or following; harassing photography or recording; sustained |
| 50 | +disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; and |
| 51 | +unwelcome sexual attention. |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +## Choose Your Words |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +Be careful in the words that you choose. Remember that sexist, racist, and |
| 56 | +other exclusionary jokes can be offensive to those around you. Excessive |
| 57 | +swearing and offensive jokes are not appropriate for DjangoCon US. We are all |
| 58 | +adults, capable of having adult conversations. Preface your presentation with |
| 59 | +appropriate Trigger/Content Warnings, if necessary. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including |
| 62 | +people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery is not |
| 63 | +appropriate for any conference venue, including talks. |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply |
| 66 | +immediately. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Exhibitors in the expo hall, sponsor or vendor booths, or similar activities |
| 69 | +are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, exhibitors |
| 70 | +should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff |
| 71 | +(including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, |
| 72 | +or otherwise create a sexualized environment. |
| 73 | + |
