#86: Consider anti-harrassment policy for FUDCon -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: pfrields Type: Task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- To date, we've never had any safety, hostility, or harrassment problems at a FUDCon. Nor do I believe this would change in the near future. However, some community conferences have had this problem: * http://valerieaurora.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/its-not-just-noirin/ * https://lwn.net/Articles/417952/ We've been asked whether we'd consider an anti-harrassment policy for FUDCon. Some Fedora community members have been involved in the creation of a generic policy that is available for adaptation and use: * http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/index.php?title=Conference_anti- harassment_policy I believe all planners would agree we want attendees at a FUDCon to enjoy their time there, and that we want them to feel safe to participate and contribute there. However, there are some pending questions about what risks and benefits the establishment of a policy creates. For instance, does it increase liability for organizers, or Red Hat as a sponsor? I'd think not, but since I'm not an expert, and don't believe any of us in the planning group are, I've reached out to find a personnel policy expert in Red Hat who could advise us. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/86> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

Tell us the following: * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y) Travel $210, Hotel $40 * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? Yes * If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your attendance. $210 * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.) I am a Fedora contributor ( ambassador, packager). I am also an upstream contributor to the Transifex project. Currently I am working as an intern at Indifex on the Transifex project. I have been working on multiple things for Transifex : bug fixing, testing, some front-end stuff, backend, api, etc. I will be giving a talk on the Transifex project to make people aware how Transifex is playing an important role in software localization and internationalization, talk about features of Transifex and how to contribute to Transifex. I will also be giving a talk on Django testing and code coverage based on the experience I gained working for Transifex. Not just talks, I am also going to conduct a Hack Fest on Django testing with Transifex. Transifex is a very successful open source Django product. I think it will be great to have hands on experience on testing a real world Django product. We will be writing new test cases, increase code coverage and if possible find loopholes in the existing Transifex code and fix them. * If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times.
