Chicago Python Workshop/Code of Conduct
Code of Conduct
The Chicago Python Workshop runs workshops to bring more women into the Chicago Python community by offering an accepting and secure environment where they can learn and practice Python coding skills. We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free learning experience for all women and their friends. Be patient and kind to others. Help make this a beginner friendly place.
We value the participation of each member of the workshop and want all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all attendees are expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees throughout the workshop. To make clear what is expected, All attendees, organizers, speakers and volunteers at any workshop are required to conform to the following Code of Conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event:
All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds and skill levels.
We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Harassment includes offensive comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, or skill level. Other forms of harassment include sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the workshop. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a volunteer immediately. Volunteers can be identified by badges.
In addition, volunteers will be happy to help participants contact venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the workshop. We value your safety.
We expect participants to follow these rules at all conference venues and conference-related social events.
