Hello all,

While organising the recent FUDCon in Pune we included a code of conduct, similar to the previous Flocks and other conferences worldwide.

I was wondering if we have any mechanisms in place where we can blacklist someone if indeed there was a violation.

I'm thinking of a Fedora project specific blacklist as well as a shared blacklist for major conferences worldwide.

The CoC would be pretty useless if there's no way to ban (from future gatherings) someone indulging in activities unwelcome to the project.

Also, we should include what steps we would take as a project depending on the nature of the violation in the CoC text itself.

If we already have such a mechanism in place, please point me to it. If not, would there be interest in setting up a service at least for Fedora events?

What should be the PRO of this kind of CoC? I think Fedora already has many rules and we should not make new rules and ban people from conferences. Fedora is a place where everyone is welcome, and as far as I can remember all the people I met in the last years respected the CoC. Sure, we can have different opinions but that's normal, we all have different cultures and different personal situations. Let's not make these kind of things, it would end up with many many more rules.
Finally, the primary Fedora events have one main slogan: FLOCK/FUDCon is always open and free for anyone. Would you like to change that too?

Kind regards.
