- 12. Code of Conduct →We expect participants to work together to create a welcoming, inclusive, and safe(r) environment for people from diverse backgrounds. → Don’t discriminate against people because of their identity (e.g. race, gender, sexuality, age, class background, ability, religion and more). → Physical, sexual, and verbal harassment are unacceptable.
- 13. Putting the Codeof Conduct into Practice → Respect people’s boundaries, and ask for consent (i.e. permission) → Be careful about the words you use. OpenCon is not a space for discriminatory or ableist language. Address people by their preferred pronouns! → Be mindful of how much time and space you’re taking up. Be aware of your power and privilege.
