===============

SciPy is a community conference intended for networking and collaboration in the 
scientific Python developer community.

We value the participation of each member of this community and want all attendees 
to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience. Accordingly, all attendees are 
expected to show respect and courtesy to other attendees throughout the conference 
and at all conference events, whether officially sponsored by SciPy or not.

To make clear what is expected, all delegates, speakers, exhibitors and volunteers 
at any SciPy event are required to conform to the following Code of Conduct. 
Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event.

Overview
-----------------
SciPy is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for 
everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical 
appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of 
conference participants in any form.

All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including 
people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate 
for any conference venue, including talks.

Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees. Behave professionally. 
Remember that harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary jokes are not 
appropriate for SciPy.

Attendees violating these rules may be asked to leave the conference without a 
refund at the sole discretion of the conference organizers.

Thank you for helping make this a welcoming, friendly event for all.

Details
------------------
Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual 
orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, 
sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, 
harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, 
inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Exhibitors in the expo hall, sponsor or vendor booths, or similar activities are 
also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, exhibitors should not 
use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including 
volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise 
create a sexualized environment.

Be careful in the words that you choose. Remember that sexist, racist, and other 
exclusionary jokes can be offensive to those around you. Excessive swearing and 
offensive jokes are not appropriate for SciPy.

If a participant engages in behavior that violates this code of conduct, the 
conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning 
the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.
