- Behave professionally. Harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary comments or jokes are not appropriate.
Harassment includes sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate or unwelcome physical contact,
sexual attention or innuendo, deliberate intimidation, stalking, and photography or recording of an individual
without consent. It also includes offensive comments related to gender, sexual orientation, age, disability,
physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, or religion.

This code of conduct is adapted from the one used for the Cool Stars 20 conference in Boston; the latter was originally designed for an astronomy conference in London, adapted by Andrew Pontzen and Hiranya Peiris from a document by Software Carpentry, which itself derives from original Creative Commons documents by PyCon and Geek Feminism.
