Comment:
I'd like to re-open this, and propose a modification: why don't we have a *Fedora* anti-harassment policy? There is no need to restrict it to conferences, or a conference. Fedora is an inherently community-based project, and I don't see any problem with asserting a requirement that people refrain from harassment in all involvement with the Fedora community. That way, events (starting with the next FUDCon) and Fedora sub-projects can simply 'include' the project-wide anti-harassment policy. This is a concept that's gaining traction; OSCon recently got a widespread positive response to doing it, for instance. And in my personal opinion it's simply the right thing to do. We can take advantage of existing resources in actually drafting a policy - Geek Feminism, the existing policies of other events and communities.
