Geek Girls Carrots Code of ConductΒΆ

Geek Girls Carrots (otherwise known as GGC) seeks to foster an encouraging and supportive learning environment in which individuals from all walks of life can comfortably participate, regardless of race, color, ethnicity, age, religion, political affiliation, physical ability, gender identity, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status.

Geek Girls Carrots is dedicated to providing a respectful, harassment-free community for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment or bullying of any community member in any form. This not only extends to members of Geek Girls Carrots, but to anyone who chooses to become involved in the larger Geek Girls Carrots community of users, developers and integrators through events or interactions. Harassment includes offensive verbal/electronic comments related to personal characteristics or choices; sexual images or comments in public or online spaces; deliberate intimidation, bullying, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks, IRC (Internet Relay Chat), electronic meetings, physical meetings or other events; inappropriate physical contact, or unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing or bullying behavior are expected to comply immediately.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, representatives of the community may take reasonable action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender, expulsion from any Geek Girls Carrots event, or expulsion from mailing lists, IRC, discussion boards and other electronic communications channels to resolve the issue. This may include rescinding Geek Girls Carrots Membership in its entirety. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please act to intercede or ask for help from any member of Geek Girls Carrots, IRC Administrators, website Administrators, or Organizers/Representatives of any physical events put on under the auspices of Geek Girls Carrots.

Portions of this document have been adapted from the PyLadies Code of Conduct, which was in turn adapted from the Plone Foundation Code of Conduct; this particular Code of Conduct has been expanded and edited to suit the specific needs of Geek Girls Carrots.
